provincial area is mountainous and borders Myanmar to the west.
The province of Kanchanaburi consists of 13 Amphoes or

Sangkhlaburi, Tha Muang, Bo Phloi, Si Sawat
Tha Maka, Dan Makham Thea, Nong Pru, Phanom Thuan, Lao
Khwan and Huai Kra Chao.
Kanchanaburi
is the site of the world-famous Bridge Over the River Kwae and is
noted for rugged natural beauty where mountains and river valleys
have inspired development of hydro-electric power and where
labyrinthine reservoirs provide further scenic elements to the
province’s natural beauty.
Beyond
the compact provincial capital, some 130 kilometers, and a
comfortable 2-hour drive from Bangkok, Kanchanaburi unfolds in
progressively arresting scenic beauty in a landscape characterized
by several waterfalls, caves once inhabited by Neolithic man,
national parks and tranquil riverside and reservoir settings.
