Cities

Kanchanaburi - capital of the province.

Sangkhlaburi - last down before the Three Pagodas Pass

Other destinations

Three Pagodas Pass - the famous pass between Thailand and Myanmar.

• Catch a bus in Kanchanaburi to Sangkhlaburi. There are first (151 Baht - 4 hours) and second class (5 hours) Buses available as well as mini Buses (118 Baht - 4 hours).

• In Sangkhlaburi take a Pickup (green) all the way to the border. (30 Baht - 30-40 minutes).

• At the final destination of the Pickup you can either walk (head for the Three Pagodas and then turn right) to the border or take a motorbike. However you'll be very limited in what you'll be able to visit without a motorbike.

• At the Thai border you need a copy of your passport and 2 recent pictures of yourself. Don't worry that you have to leave your Passport with them.

• At the Myanmar border you will need 10 US$ or 500 Baht. Therefore it is suggested to change your Baht to US$ before leaving Kanchanaburi. Don't expect the border officials to know anything called Euro. There is also one Bank (Siam Commercial Bank) in Sangkhlaburi.

• Once in Myanmar you can take a look at a few temples as well as a market. None is really in any way very special. However there is one temple that is up on a hill, from where you get a great view across the border land.

• Back at the border you will receive your Passport back and will be able to head the same way back as you came.

There is also the possibility to take a bus directly from Kanchanaburi to the Three Pagodas Pass. An important note is that you will not receive a new Thai Visa, since technically you never left Thailand.
