The Kwai River Cruise - where it takes place and when to go

The Kwai is a river in central Thailand. It rises in the Tenasserim mountains of northern Thailand and flows to the point of its confluence with the Khwae Noi after some 380 km at the city of Kanchanaburi in western central Thailand, where the two rivers form the Mae Klong. The best time for a Kwai River Cruise is between December and May.
