Here is the starting point
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
After picking up the group, drive to Maeklong Railway Market, (In Thai:Talat Rom Hup), meaning the "Umbrella pulldown market". It is one of the largest fresh seafood markets in Thailand, and is centered on the Maeklong Railway's track.

The vendors, often wearing traditional Thai hats, skillfully navigate the narrow waterways, calling out their wares to potential buyers. You can try some local food and shop for some souvenier here.
Kanchanaburi War Cemetery
The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery is the main prisoner of war cemetery for victims of Japanese imprisonment while building the Burma Railway. It is on the main road, Saeng Chuto Road, through the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, adjacent to an older Chinese cemetery.
River Khwae Bridge
The Death Railway earned its name from the sheer number of lives lost during its construction, including that of railway bridge number 277 in June 1943, allowing the track to cross what is today known as the Khwae Noi River, and which has become recognized worldwide as the Bridge on the River Kwai. Estimation may vary but, of more than 60,000 prisoners of war enslaved on the Death Railway, almost 13,000 are believed to have died, in addition to as many as 90,000 Southeast Asian civilian forced laborers.
War Museum
Spend sometimes to learn the background history of Death Railway project during world War II before heading to visit Bridge Over The River Kwai.
This concludes the tour.
