Hellfire Pass Tours and Tickets

Amazing day and well worth it! Full 12 hour day from pickup/dropoff in Bangkok, but plenty of stops to make up for it.

Bella our tour guide was just brilliant. She sent us a msg the day before saying when she would pick us up etc. on time and perfect. The van was very comfortable clean, and loads of bottled cold water available. Bella explained the days agenda, and what a trip and experience. Bella covered the history of the places, and overall made the day.

This was a long day but so worth while. Lead by our guide Jill, who was attentive to our needs all day, from getting prime seats on the train, water, helping with photos but because of her knowledge and allowing us time for contemplation, which was much appreciated. The Australian Army were present at Hellfire Pass, rehearsing for their ANZAC day ceremony, which made the visit more special. The way the cemetery was laid out was beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour. Once again thanks to our guide Jill and driver Ray, for taking such good care of us.

This was a very comprehensive tour, starting at 6:30am until 6:15pm. Which included the Jeath museum in kanchanaburi, walking across the Bridge over the River Kwai, the war cemetery, riding the train along the ‘death railway’, a buffet lunch, visiting the Hell Fire Pass and Interpretive Centre, and Namtoksaiyoknoi water falls. The tour guide ‘Ken’ and driver ‘Sake’ were quite outstanding. They constantly went the extra mile, booking widows seats on the correct side of the train, providing a golf cart to take us down to the Hells Pass and ensuring we had a fantastic day.

We had a fantastic experience with Ken, our guide, and Mr Yoon, our driver. The day began at the JEATH War Museum, followed by a visit to the River Khwae Bridge — we arrived at the perfect time, just before it became busy. We then spent some time at the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, which was very moving, and it was comforting to see how well the graves are preserved. Next, we took a train ride along the Death Railway for just over an hour, seated in excellent spots where we could get a good view of the wooden bridge. During the journey, Ken surprised us with a beautiful bookmark featuring our photo on the train — taken by the lovely female railway staff member who had also been handing out water and cake to passengers. Lunch was served at a local restaurant with a wonderful view of the wooden bridge. Afterward, we visited the Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and walked the Memorial Trail. It was incredible to see, though deeply sad, and left a lasting effect. We finished off with a stop at Saiyoknoi Water Fall. Overall, it was a full 12 hour day from start to finish, but I can’t think of a single part I would remove to make it shorter. A big thank you again to Ken, whose incredible knowledge of the history behind each stop made the experience even more meaningful and to Mr Yoon for his very comfortable vehicle.

Peter & our driver were great! FUN & informative and coukdnt do ebough for us.. 👍 our day was suited to us perfectly. Always on time & made the most of our day. Thai traffic could make this a very long day but our driver was very good in the traffic! 10 hour day 3 hrs each wat .. but worth it xx

Very informative tour, our guide had great knowledge of the areas we visited and historical information. This is a long day tour and covers a lot of ground.

My wife and I had a private tour, which was excellent. Our guide, Lucky, was very good. It was obvious that she had done this tour many times before, and knew her stuff. Bat, our driver, was also excellent. It was a long day, scheduled for 12 hours from pick-up to drop-off at our hotel. So long, that we opted to skip the last stop, the waterfall, and hopefully get back to the hotel sooner, but that got us into the middle of Bangkok's maddening rush hour traffic. There was no mention of this, but be sure to pack your own toilet paper. I would recommend that the tour be done in reverse if possible. The first stop was Kanchanaburi. 2 hours from Bangkok. Since we skipped the waterfall, our last stop was Hellfire Pass, don't miss it, but the return from there was 3 hours and longer due to traffic.
