A Trip to Kanchanaburi, Sangkhlaburi and Myanmar via The Three Pagodas Pass
Sangkhlaburi (สังขละบุรี) is an area in the north-west of Kanchanaburi Province, close to Myanmar. It is a valley where three rivers converge (Songkhalia and Biklie Rivers run all the way down from Myanmar, and Runti River from Uthaithani, Thailand), and is full of natural beauty that attracts a lot of visitors despite its remoteness. This valley in which Sangkhlaburi lies was home to the local Mon community some 40 years ago. But after the construction of the Vajiralongkorn Dam in 1984, much of the village was submerged under water, and what remained became separated into two parts. These two halves of the town were later linked by what has become Sangkhlaburi’s most famous trait, the wooden Mon Bridge initiated by Luangpho Uttama – the Kingdom’s most revered Mon monk. Sangkhlaburi remains as a tranquil district where people leading a simple life. The Three Pagodas Pass is the border crossing station to Myanmar.

Sangkhlaburi - A peaceful town to discover way past Kanchanaburi near the Burmese Border
Sangkhlaburi is in the remote part of Kanchanaburi Province. The main town, originally inhabited by Karen, has seen an influx of re-settlers: Mon, Burmese, Thai, Lao, and a growing number of Japanese and Westerners. The remoteness of the region adds to the it's serenity and laid-back atmosphere As a bonus, the town itself has the longest wooden bridge in Thailand. The signature attraction of Sangkhlaburi.
THAILAND'S BEST KEPT SECRET — Sangkhlaburi — Only Thing Travel
I have travelled across the world but Sangkhlaburi, Thailand will forever hold a special place in my heart. Sangkhlaburi is one of the most incredible, spectacularly beautiful places I have ever seen. It is guaranteed to get you off the beaten path in Thailand.
The town of Sangkhlaburi lies along the Burmese border less than 350 km to the northwest of Bangkok.
With a fascinating history, ethnically diverse population, spectacular landscapes, delicious food, and incredibly friendly people, Sangkhlaburi is, in my opinion, Thailand's best kept secret.
There's no shortage of things to do while visiting Sangkhlaburi. Wander the rural roads, rent a motorbike and explore the nearby national park, go kayaking or boating on the lake at sunset, and stroll along Mon bridge—just to name a few.
After spending a week here, I can honestly say this is one of the best places I have ever travelled to.
If you visit Sangkhlaburi, make sure you stay at Villa Scenns. It is run by a lovely couple (they even cooked a couple meals for me!) who are incredibly friendly and lovely to chat with.

Road to Three Pagodas Pass ด่านเจดีย์สามองค์
This pass has been the main land route into western Thailand since ancient times, and is believed be the point at which Buddhist teachings reached the country from India in the 3rd century. During the Ayutthaya period in Thai history (14th-18th centuries), the pass was the main invasion route for the Burmese, but at times was also used against them by Siamese armies. The first of such was the Burmese invasion in 1548, which was part of the Burmese--Siamese War of 1548. The pass is named for three small, crumbling pagodas (chedis) which were probably built at the end of this period as a symbol of peace. They are now on the Thai side of the border. Parts of the border are still disputed.
During World War II, Japan built the infamous Death Railway (officially Taimen - Rensetsu Tetsudo) through the pass. There is a memorial to commemorate the thousands of Australian prisoners of war who (with other Allied prisoners and Asian civilians) died as forced labourers in the construction of the railway.
The region is home to several hill tribes, including Karens and Mons, who are unable or unwilling to obtain citizenship from either countries. Separatist armies have repeatedly tried to take seize of the pass from Burma, with the Mons in effective control until 1990, when Burmese troops regained it.

No sooner had we put our bags in the room and we were off on our longtail boat ride around the lake. The boat ride cost 500 baht all up so it was quite good value to check out the scenery and local area.
The lake is now called Vajiralongkorn lake and has a hydroelectric dam at the southern end. The flooding of the lake took a toll on the local villagers here who had to move to higher ground in many places and the remains of some of the temples are still seen when the lake levels recede towards the end of the dry season.
The Sangkhlaburi district houses a number of natural, cultural and historical sites that are worth a visit. The Mon bridge or “Saphan Mon” is Thailand’s longest wooden bridge and the second longest in the world measuring over 400 meters long. Today the only thing still visible of the old village is Wat Samprasob temple, located on a hill. During most of the year, merely the upper section of the ordination hall and the top of the bell tower can be seen.
After our boat ride, we set off for dinner and then cruised around the local street market where Chanya wanted to buy some traditional clothes to wear for the next mornings blessing and the trip to the main temple which you will catch in the next video.

I chose early retirement over working the 40 40 40 plan and now I'm living stress-free as an Aussie expat living in Thailand with my Thai girlfriend. Our Video Blog covers the typical things we find ourselves doing as we build our life together living in the suburbs of Bangkok. My fiancée is a post-op ladyboy and we have been together since 2009. I finally moved to Thailand in September 2016 because the 8 years of travelling to see her were taking its toll.

New Years Day in Sangkhlaburi
We wake up on New Years day to a foggy 20 degrees Celsius and take a stroll down to Mon Bridge
Join our Website -
Follow us on Patreon -
We wake up early to make our way down to Mon Bridge in Sangkhlaburi and get the monks blessing for the new year. It's a brisk and refreshing 20 degrees Celsius this morning. Chanya thinks it's cold whereas I think it is just like an early autumn day in Sydney.
We set off to join the throng of people on the bridge and then to the temple to make merit. We then take a 2-hour drive to the west side of the lake where we plan to spend the second night. We stop off to grab some Som Tam and roast chicken at a roadside coffee shop. We then continue on to a small mining town west of the lake called Pilok. Once there we decide to rent out a 4 person bungalow for our second night which was cozy.
