Kanchanaburi city is quite compact, especially its tourist part. The main hotels and attractions are concentrated along Maenamkwai Road, and most of them can be easily reached on foot in a maximum of 20 minutes.

If you need to travel, here are the main types of local transport:

  • Motorcycle taxi: The most common option. A ride within the city costs no more than 50 baht.
  • Songthaew (shared taxi): Yellow and white ones run along a fixed route along the main Saengchuto Road. The fare is only 10 baht. Very convenient to get from the bus station to the railway station area or the bridge.
  • Tuk-tuks and cycle rickshaws: Less common and more expensive than motorcycle taxis.
  • Bicycle or motorbike rental: For independence, you can rent a bicycle (from 50 baht/day) or a scooter (from 150-300 baht/day).

If you rent a motorbike, remember: standard tourist insurance does not cover motorcycle riding. A special option is needed. Also, always wear a helmetβ€”both for safety and to avoid a fine.

For a romantic stroll, you can hire a longtail boat near the bridge (from 800 baht for 1.5 hours for a group).
