A small town in north-western Thailand, Kanchanaburi attracts its fair share of backpackers and tourists, most of whom come to visit the place for its historical significance. For those not in the know, the town of Kanchanaburi is located close to the landmark Kwai River Bridge, infamous for the number of POWs who died there under miserable conditions during World War II. There are now also some good restaurants and bars in the town, along with a smattering of good places to bed down. Check them out…
The Jolly Frog is one of the longest running establishments of its type in Kanchanaburi, and has been known for years. The prices remain rock-bottom (in fact, they don’t seem to have changed in years), but the rooms are now just a tad sorry for themselves. That said, this one’s buzzing restaurant, river front location and lively backpacker vibe keep customer coming back for more!
