Sai Yok Noi
This waterfall is at the end of the "Death Railway" line, terminating at Nam Tok station.
The countryside and the landscape are among one of the most beautiful places in the province and in the shade of the trees, temperatures are comfortable!
While taking in the surroundings you can enjoy some excellent food from one of the small restaurants which surround the park area.
The entrance to the main park features displays of original photographs depicting scenes of the construction and then susequent bombing of the railway.
There are several areas where the railay used to run through with memorial plaques, old photgraphs and even a couple of old locomotive engines which you can climb.
The best time for a visit is in the rainy season when the water levels rise and you can swim in the pools, but even during the hot seasons a day trip is highly recommended.
There is local bus service from town every half an hour from 6.45 a.m. - 6.00 pm, the trip takes about 2 hours.
Sai Yok Yai
Flows directly into the River Kwai, the natural beauty of the area has been celebrated in Thai literature and is one of the most famous waterfalls in Asia.
The best known caves, Tham Lawa & Tham Daowadung have impressive stalactites and stalagmites, plus if you have good eyes you might catch a glimpse of the world's smallest mammal, the hog-nosed bat which, when fully grown, reaches a weight of just two grams!
