Exploring the Serenity of Wat Tham Khao Pun

Getting There

• Walk

  If you're starting from the Kanchanaburi bus station, exit the station and turn left onto the main road (Sukhumvit Road). Walk straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with the road leading to the River Kwai. This will be a major intersection where you will see signs for various tourist spots. Continue walking straight; you will pass by several shops and local eateries.

• Public Transport

  From the Kanchanaburi bus station, you can take a local songthaew (shared taxi) heading to the Erawan National Park or Sangkhla Buri. Make sure to tell the driver that you want to get off at ช่องเขาขาด (วัดถ้ำเขาปูน). The fare is usually around 30-50 THB, and the journey will take about 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic. The driver will drop you off at the location, which is near the entrance of the temple.

• Cycle

  If you're feeling adventurous, you can rent a bicycle from one of the many rental shops around Kanchanaburi. Start your ride from the Kanchanaburi bus station and head towards Sukhumvit Road. Continue straight for about 1.5 kilometers and follow the signs towards the River Kwai. The ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes. Once you reach the intersection with the road leading to the River Kwai, follow the same route as described for walking. Ensure you stay safe and wear a helmet while cycling.
