Start your tour with an early morning drive to Damnern Saduak, site of Thailand 's most famous Floating Market. Here, old women and young ladies wearing their typical lampshade hats, paddle boats along small canals and trade with fruits, flowers, vegetables and cooked foods. Continue driving westward to Kanchanaburi, gateway of the “Thailand-Burma Railway”, built under Japanese command by Allied and Asian prisoners of war during World War II . No visit to the area would be complete without a train ride on the infamous “Death Railway” during which the train passes over dangerous looking wooden viaducts built along the mountainside. After the train ride, drive to a nearby elephant camp to experience a 1-hour ride on the back of an elephant followed by a short bamboo rafting on a quiet stretch of the River Kwai. In the afternoon proceed to the Rose Garden for overnight stay.
