Unseen Thailand: Kanchanaburi - Why Does Nobody Come Here? 

What a stunning waterfall. Absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for showing us Karl.

Sangkhlaburi is a district where the majority of the population are Karen, Mon, some Muslims and about 10% of Thai people. Sangkhla Buri translates into Burmese as blending together. That people rarely go because the journey is quite long and winding. Away from the city I've been there twice. There is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand and an underwater temple that appears during the dry season. It's very beautiful.♥

Hi Carl. I stayed there at P-Guest House in 2008 as I went to photograph the Mon people across the bridge. Such a stunning place to match a stunning trip report.

Totally fine with me the place has not been ruined YET like so many other places. I remember it well years ago. Had the entire city to myself the whole stay falang free. The fact is 99.999% of foreigners both tourist and expats are like sheep. Never go outside their little sheltered bubbles. If the foreigners I have been seeing lately near Bangkok are any indication I don,t want them anywhere near this place. They have a knack at weirding out the locals. I plan to be in that same area in a few weeks. We are blessed we can communicate with the Thais. Never take that for granted.

Im amazed karl that you don't get the view numbers as your content is absolutely fantastic, right up thier with the best 😮👌👍🙏

done that road to hui mae kumin many times years ago... glad the road hasn't been paved.. it's a great drive..

I got the train from Bangkok to Kan then rode my bicycle to Sangka visiting sits along the way. My favourite part of Thailand, would have loved to have seen it in the 90s ❤

Nice video Karl some great B roll showing very beautiful scenery. I’d really like to visit those locations myself.

Been and absolutely loved it, what an experience

Had the pleasure of driving up there from proper Kanchanaburi this past April. The ride was scenic as could be. Wished I was on a motorbike. We spend the majority of the day on the Mon side of the bridge and took a boat excursion to ancient temples south of the bridge. The Mon side of bridge lodging was fully booked and thus got a room with awesome bridge view room and enormous Buddha structure on the Thai side. Would have preferred the Mon side - so book early. Didn't walk the bridge but this video is like I had. On the way back to Bangkok, we stopped off at Mon temple, which instantly became my favorite temple so far in Thailand. It connected with me. . And yes, I felt like the only foreigner there. The night market was a disappointment as nothing there I found edible other than fried Gai. This after a fresh 11 days in covid quarantine in Bangkok at a hospitel. We did share a communal table with other people, stabbing a pointed stick and measly cuts of meat from a large bowl. Why not as my immune system just got bolstered ? I'd love to revisit as we only did a overnight there. Songklaburi was a top highlight of my six weeks in Thailand earlier this year.

Love the video Karl very enjoyable watch mate

cheers Karl yet another great upload.

Aw that was cool, my first trip to Kanch was 92, been back a few times took my Dad on a trip as he always wanted to come along he had a bit of a fall while Walking the Erawan trail and could see it may be a little too much to take him further to that waterfall but defo on my list now … love your videos have to make sure I watch some more later

ive got a holiday house in kanchanaburi. Its a brilliant part of Thailand. Literally no scumbags too! btw you can get the train from bkk to namtok which is right up at the erawan national park and the ticket is 100 baht

great video, i just traveled through Roiet and Masasarakhan the onto Nong Khai over to Vientiane, today we are in Loei, tomorrow heading for Chiang Khan

Magic 🙏

You would have made a great cinematographer my friend. And your scores are quality too. 👍💯💥🙏

A bit if paradise , so nice ! Thanks Karl and wish you a happy New Year ! Enjoy ...

Great video Karl!

GREAT VIDEO YET AGAIN KARL TAKE CARE xx

The camera you’re using sure captures the beauty of this place! ❤ Thanks for sharing this video Karl…….hope you had a great Christmas and have a wonderful New Year😊

Just seen this come up on my phone , will check out the video on laptop , I’m in BKK now but leaving for Esan tomorrow and will be there for 4/5 days before heading to kanchaburi and possibly petchaburi then patts

Been there also! A good ten years ago now.

Most beautiful place in Thailand mate we bloody loved it could have stayed for weeks 🇹🇭❤️

I agree - a lovely area. Another really beautiful area I visited for the first time recently was Nan. Lots of Thai tourists but almost no foreign tourists at all. Yet it is a really beautiful area. Arguably one of the best areas for motorcycle touring. Such a good channel. 🤩

Karl those old photos of Mon Bridge are amazing, to look back and think that was like only yesterday ( kind of ) priceless …. Keep posting all these past photos 🙏🙏 .. btw what camera do you use now?

Wait.......... I went there....... for the bridge, the history, for fun, and to see some Chang close up.

Looks great Krap Pom

Incredibly cool places Kalle also well filmed 👍

Nice one mate... I may upload my video of the jungle drive if I ever find my sd card; I lost a little tin with ALL my sd cards/vids a month or so back. Still hoping it will turn up! What a great drive up, through and over the back way in...

Huai Kae Khamin waterfall looked amazing. Have been once when we rented a house boat on the reservoir, their was no water in the falls 🤦‍♂️, must go back sometime.

how in this world has this man only got 6k subs, fuck me theres some right dire thai channels 45k plus, brilliant karl

Nice area.

Cheers karl👍

I never travel so far up from Kanchanaburi but it looks fantastic up there.

First time commenter since introduced. What all but this was lovely. You seem to have a passion around this area? Correct me if I'm wrong

Great spot, thanks Karl. Between you and Bangkok Pat, I’ve got the country covered…

Great stuff again Karl, looks amazing and after my recent visit to Erawan I think this one definitely Trumps it! Another Pin 📌 in Google Maps for me if I'm up that way 👌. Thanks for sharing 👍

Beautiful images, what camera are you using? I think Kanchanaburi provence is classic south east Asia scenery, plus chuck in the history, ancient invading Burmese and WW2 !!

Wangka cafe made me laugh a lot

Karl do you use Avenza Maps for your backup, or primary topographical recon map? Currently I am collecting a full set of digital maps for Thailand for future treks with you guys and other humpers. Also, where does one purchase hard copy topographical maps like the ones put out by the USGS? Thanks mate. Cheers.

Hi mate. I'm visiting kanchanaburi in Aug. I'll be staying for 3 or 4 days. Could you recommend where to stay. Close to nightlife and historical places. Thanks

Do you need a licence for a drone in Thailand, or are they generally ok with people using them? I’m off to Kanchanaburi in February and would love to take my drone with me.

This area and waterfall might now change my mind on visiting Erawan. Based on pics and reviews of Erawan , I was less interested before. Thanks for bringing this to light.

Did you eat a Mon / Burmese BBQ ? It's been many years since my visit and I'm not 100% sure of the correct name ! I don't recall seeing that style of BBQ elsewhere in Thailand.

Room is horrible! I never want to sleep there!🙀

mon bridge why does no one there because they will come at 06:30 up there so many people there ( only monk come )

good work
