Grand Palace, Wat Pho & Wat Arun with a private guide
from, per person THB 2,200
River Kwai, Death Railway & Erawan Falls
The trip, in short
Around 100,000 labourers and 12,000 Allied prisoners died building the Burma Railway. The bridge at Kanchanaburi is the famous fragment, but the section of line at Tham Krasae — a wooden trestle bolted to a cliff above the river — is the part that stays with people.
We ride that stretch by train, visit the Allied war cemetery, and give you the afternoon at Erawan Falls, where seven limestone tiers step up through the forest and the water really is that colour.
It is a fourteen-hour day door to door. We think it is worth it, and we would rather you knew the length in advance.

Meeting point
Your hotel lobby in central Bangkok.
Pick-up area: Central Bangkok hotels. We message your exact pick-up window the evening before, with the driver's name and vehicle.
Before you book
- Tiers six and seven at Erawan are a steep, root-strewn scramble. Tiers one to five are easy.
- No plastic bottles past tier two — the park confiscates them at a checkpoint and refunds a deposit on the way out.
- The fish in the pools nibble. It is harmless and slightly alarming.
- A 06:00 pick-up and a return after 20:00. Not the day to book before an early flight.
Who you are contracting with
We are the organiser of this service
OrganiserWe contract for this service as principal — it is operated by us, or by a local supplier engaged by us in our own name in Thailand. Your contract is with us, not with the driver, guide, captain or boat operator, and we carry the obligation to deliver it as described.
This service is performed in Thailand, by our Bangkok operation. Access Transit Express, registered in Indonesia, is the merchant of record for the payment: the charge, the invoice and any refund come from us, and your statement reads ACCESSTRANSITEXPRESS.
Our role, in fullCancellation & refunds
Cancel free up to 48 hours before the start time for a full refund to the card you paid with. Cancel later than that and the booking is non-refundable, because the vehicle, seat or greeter has already been committed.
- Refunds are issued within one business day and reach your card in 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
- If we cancel — weather, a marine department closure, a mechanical failure — you choose a new date or a full refund, whenever we cancel.
- No-shows and cancellations inside the window are not refundable. We will always try to move you to another date first.
