We took a minibus to Elephantsworld. We didn't have a tour guide, only the driver who was nice, but didn't really know English. The program to Elephantsworld was wonderful, but that is not the credit (Read More)of the tour operator. After the elephant program, we stopped in Kanchanaburi to see the bridge of death. We had 20 minutes to explore the area on our own. If you pay for this tour, don't expect much more than the Elephantworld program. From this point of view, it was convenient that they brought us in an air-conditioned minibus.
