Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Krasae Cave is a small cave adjacent to the most stunning part of the Death Railway, 450 m railway that curve along the cliff above Khwae Noi river. The cave was once a residence of many prisoners of war which were forced to build the railway during the second world war. Nowadays, there are several Buddha images inside the cave and the entrance of the cave is a spot that provides a great view of Khwae Noi river below. Visitors may also stroll on the wooden bridge that support the railway. However, beware of the train because this is still an active railway.

I'll try to add a slightly different perspective to this site. It is the first stop of the train that departs the Bridge station in KAN. The train continues for more than an hour and then returns. If you do not want to spend the full time of the train trip, have your tour drive meet you there. Dismount the train, enjoy the river view and the adjacent cave temple, take your pictures, browse the small market place, buy some souvenirs, have a cold drink and wait for your transport back to town.
There are some other interesting places to visit on that side of KAN that you would miss if you stayed on the train.

This is the death bridge of Tham Krasae. It is a historical place in Kanchanaburi that has been around for a long time. This place is very beautiful and natural. Besides, I took the train too, I really liked it and would like to go again.

I went there two times the view was nice for taking a photo but for me not think interested .
There have some shop for sale souvenir and restaurant .
The are in the same please of Krasae Cave or The Death Rail Way .
If you plan to go there I recommend you plan to take a train, because you can see the views of the river.
If you drive you private car I'm not recommend.

We took the train from the river Kwai bridge. 100 baht for foreigners and 12 baht for a Thai national.lots of countryside views to been seen, on the way to the cave. Best side to be when going is the left hand side. Obvs the right on the return. Some food places and stalls selling the usual tourist products. Good if you want a death railway T-shirt. Very nice view of the river and the railway line. Little cave to have a look at. The train takes about an hour or so to get there. It returns a few hours later.

Cool place where the train crosses a bridge and has to slow down to a crawl. You can walk across the bridge which, bu US standards, isn’t providing any safety measures but it’s a cool experience. There is a little cave with a Buddha statue. Lots of vendors, some restaurants, and many tourists.

This bridge was built by prisoners of war, thousands of whom died building the Thailand-Burma Railway. To find out more visit the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre in Kanchanaburi and the cemetery opposite, also Hellfire Pass.
You can walk along the bridge and you will get some lovely photos of the river and the bridge. Go into the cave to see the beautiful Buddha as well.

This is situated at the north end of Wang Pho Viaduct, it was used for Japanese stores for the construction.
This is for me a wonderful place to visit as my father who laboured on the railway as a POW spoke extensively of this cave, it is also in the most beautiful setting you can ever imagine.

Hi, I'm planning to go to Nam Tok station by train from the River Kwai Bridge station. If I stop by at Tham Kra Sae, do I have to pay the full fare again to get to Nam Tok station or can I use the same ticket I used from the River Kwai?
Written 9 July 2018
When you buy your ticket, ask for Nam Tok. You can only buy one way at the Kwai bridge ticket office. I think you can step off at Tham Kra Sae then jump back on the next train to Nam Tok. You may have to start on the early train to fit it all in with the train schedule. Hope this helps and safe travels. Strangely i am currently watching the River Kwai movie at home. Lest we forget

Are there public buses that passes Tham Kra Sae Bridge from and to Kanchanaburi? We plan to take bus 8203 from Kanchanaburi to Mallika Village and are wondering if we can take the same bus going to Tham Kra Sae.
If not, we will be going back to Kanchanaburi, take the train and get off Tham Krasae station. About going back to Kanchanaburi, are there public buses from the Tham KRasae station?
Written 23 May 2018
I have no idea if there would be a bus from Mallika through to Krasae but even if there was it would probably still drop off on the main road (some way from the railway). Although I might be wrong your second option of going back to Kanchanaburi seems impractical.
I have little doubt there would be options available from local travel agents in Kanchanaburi that would take you on a minibus to these places, returning to Kanchanaburi on the train from Tham Krasae. If you are determined to use the local bus then the best option might be to get a taxi from Mallika to Tham Krasae station and catch the train back to Kanchanaburi.

Just below the bridge and on the river bank are some nice raft house guest houses.Is it possible to get names and booking details to these accommodation as they can be a beautiful place to spend a couple of nights.

HI,
I'm planning a visit to Kanchanaburi.. i can afford to stay over a few days..
I wan to visit the interesting attractions there ..
Any possible itineraries?
Written 21 December 2014
We stayed for two days, went to hellfire pass museum followed by death bridge, onto Sai Yok national Park for river rafting, there is another national park with a waterfall Erawan, then Hindad hot springs, there also plenty of other museums about if interested in war memoribilia.
But if staying in Kanchaburi seek out the Loft as it is a fantastic restaurant.
