1. Amazing Private Tour to the River Kwai and Erawan Waterfall
Karen H,,Feb 13, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Our trip to the River Kwai and the stunning waterfalls at Erawan Waterfall was an unforgettable experience. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking — from the peaceful river views to the crystal-clear turquoise pools and beautiful jungle surroundings at the waterfalls. It truly felt like stepping into a postcard. A huge highlight of our trip was our guide, Army. He was fantastic from start to finish — friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He made sure everyone was comfortable, shared interesting local history and facts, and kept the day fun and well organised. His enthusiasm and professionalism really made the experience extra special for us. This was a private tour for the two of us, which made the day feel even more relaxed and personalised. Our driver was also brilliant — safe, professional, and very friendly, helping everything run smoothly from start to finish. This trip was the perfect mix of nature, history, and adventure, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Thailand. Thank you, Army, for making it such a memorable day!

5.00I loved my original tour with Quality Thai Guide so much that I signed up for a second one and it did not disappoint! Despite being a solo traveler, it was still a fun day. My guide, Army, kept me company and explained the incredible narrative of life for POWs working on the Death Railway. If you're interested in WWII history, this is a sobering and worthwhile visit. Keep in mind it was a full day and there's a lot of driving between stops (I definitely underestimated the distance!) However, I was in good hands with Army and the driver, Non.
Fantastic day tour to Erawan Falls and Kanchanaburi

5.00We had a wonderful private tour with Army and Kai to Erawan Falls and Kanchanaburi. They organized everything seamlessly and were very flexible when we asked to change the time and agenda to better suit our needs. Army was a wonderful guide and full of knowledge of the events surrounding the railroad and Bridge Kwai. The Falls were majestic and we enjoyed a delicious lunch after, at Army’s suggestion. Also, I cannot say enough about how roomy and comfortable the van was for such a long ride, thank you Army and Kai for a great day!
Great excursion from Bangkok for history-lovers and nature-lovers alike

5.00We did this experience as part of our honeymoon trip to Bangkok. It was an excellent excursion from the city, where we were able to learn about the history and significance of the River Kwai Bridge and Death Railway, but also enjoy the nature and beauty of the Erawan waterfall! Our guide Army was so open and helpful throughout the whole day and made us feel at ease to ask as many questions as we wanted. He also took some lovely photos of us as a couple. We would encourage everyone to bring a change of clothes so that they can take a refreshing swim in the waterfall Plunge pools, after hiking up alongside the waterfall. For anyone British, American or Australian and interested in history, the Death Railway has a lot of significance, and this tour gives an excellent overview.
A richly varied and highly memorable excursion. 5 Star

5.00This was incredible day trip. We were picked up early from our hotel by our guide, Army, and our driver, Non. We travelled out of Bangkok to Kanchanaburi and visited the War Memorial which was very moving. Next we travelled to the River Kwai and walked over the famous bridge. Army was so knowledgeable abut the history and we learned so much. We then visited the beautiful Erawan Waterfall and climbed up the many tiers, taking time to swim in the turquoise pools before eating a delicious lunch at the local restaurant. Finally, we visited the Hell Fire Pass. It was a fascinating day made all the more memorable through our fantastic guide, Army. I highly recommend this trip! We were so well looked after and we saw such a fascinating part of Thailand.
Great trip with fantastic...

5.00This tour was incredible. It’s a private tour and it was just me and my husband. Kim was an awesome tour guide as well as Mr. Gai as the driver. The waterfalls were INCREDIBLE. I could’ve spent all day there (maybe forever?). The bridge over the Kwai River and Death Railway were really interesting. I highly recommend this tour.
