I was invited on a short Volkswagen road trip to the Kanchanaburi province of Thailand, by Amazing Thailand (the official Tourism Authority of Thailand), and I was happy to be a part of it.
We set off from Bangkok, and drove to Kanchanaburi town first. From there we stopped off at the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery for a quick visit before heading over to the famous Bridge Over River Kwai (สะพานข้ามแม่น้ำแคว).
Along the river, just down the road from the bridge we ate lunch at Keeree Tara Restaurant (ร้าน คีรีธารา). There was a set meal already placed at our tables, and the food was overall quite good.
After lunch we set off on the road again, Ying and I were in a private VW van (pretty cool), and drove over to Tham Kra Sae (ถ้ำกระแซ), which is a scenic section of the railroad, and a cave.
We kept on driving until we arrived at Thong Pha Phum (ทองผาภูมิ) and we arrived at our hotel for the evening, which was Phu Iyara Resert (ภูไอยรา รีสอร์ท). The hotel was basic but alright.
Dinner was good, but unfortunately the light was so poor, I couldn’t get any good video.
The next morning we woke up early and headed to the morning market. The views were beautiful and the market was very pleasant.
After walking around the market, we then headed over to Wat Thakanun (วัดท่าขนุน), a temple situated on the side of the mountain. It was nice and quiet.
After the market and temple we headed back to the hotel and ate a simple breakfast of khao tom – rice soup.
Then we headed to the river to do some kayaking, which turned into quite an adventure, but it was a lot of fun!

Heading to Kanchanaburi for Songkran and using your YouTube channel to study up! Looking for some awesome adventure activities, gonna be hot! Do you know what the best ziplining / action / rafting adventure experience there is?
Not all will agree with me, I know, but the loud music background is dreadful. It did not fit in with the beauty and serenity of the forested mountains and flowing rivers. Nevertheless, I gave you a thumbs up. So sorry you got your camera soppin' wet. Were you able to dry it off or did you have to replace it? By the way, I'll be visiting Kanchanaburi in a couple of months. Will continue to follow your vlogs.

I have been there and great trip
its a lovely place.. remember my tour to the tiger temple …
I was there two weeks ago – the same restaurant.
Hi mark i have watched your videos and enjoy them immensly ,kanchanaburi cemetery is a very sacred place and is kept in immaculate condition .The men who lie there are allied soldier sailors and airmen who during the war were enslaved by the japanese forces to build the thai /burma railway many died under horrific conditions ,i wish you could have shown a bit more of it ,maybe in another video , on the 25 of april every year you will see a memorial service held there for the australian and new zealand servicemen that lie there at peace i hope one day to experience seeing this place for myself and paying my respects to those sacrificed there lives for our life today .
watching you VDO is like killing me alive ……… so hungry

Hey @Mark Wiens Great video! Looks like you had so much fun. What was the total cost of this adventure trip? In thai baht? I live in Sukhumvit Soi 39 and would like to try this.
Bravo Mark!! Fantastico.
Great video Mark, the BBQ sweet pork sounds great. I like the cabin, not much bathroom privacy, where is the shower.
How is the coffee there? Your facial expressions always enhance the food, you could be eating a rock but your expressions would make me think its so delicious Did you eat any snake yet? keep up the good work
Those mountains were so beautiful and that water looked refreshing for a dip. I don't care about kayaking but it looked like fun. And that bamboo room was groovy. I want bamboo on my walls now.
Awesome!!! I'm a VW owner and enthusiast and those were some fine looking veedubs!
You get up early, Mark! You wake up a few minutes before 6 am? Wow ….
At 1:30, is the woman that see sitting to your left, your lovely wife? Or, is your wife taking the video?
Before i went to thailand i had told myself i will try all kind of food they have including the worms but not the pork ( because they carry tapeworm). When my friend ordered it i could not resist their pork meat and had it every day lol. your videos keep my memories alive.. Good job
Mark, have you ever thought about traveling to places like bolivia, peru, or morocco, iceland? etc. lol know thatd be expensive
