Uthai Thani

Kanchanaburi is located at the point where two

activities. Most of the locals are of Thai ancestry with notable Mon
and Karen minorities. Rural dwellers enjoy living simply and respecting
nature. Moreover folk music and dances dating back at least 500 years
are still performed today.
In north and west Kanchanaburi, the terrain is

Thongchai Range acting as a natural border between Thailand and
