When people think of Kanchanaburi, they often picture the famous Bridge on the River Kwai or the beautiful Erawan Falls. While these are must-see places, there is much more to discover if you head into the province’s western mountains. Here, you’ll find the best hill tribe villages in Thailand, home to communities like the Karen hill tribe in Kanchanaburi, living quietly side by side with Mon and Burmese cultures. If you want to experience a quieter and more thoughtful side of Thailand, just take a step off the main road.
