The three pagoda pass is
at the Thailand Myanmar border at
Kanchanaburi province west of Bangkok.
Kanchanaburi is a
"green" province with lots of spectacular rivers,
waterfalls, caves,
forests, dam's and reservoirs and great outdoors. Along or close to
the road to the three pagoda pass are some of the most spectacular
waterfalls in Thailand, one of them is the
Erawan
Waterfall.
The road from
Bangkok to
Myanmar runs right through Kanchanaburi province to the three or 3 Pagoda Pass
at the Thailand Myanmar porder.
The three or 3 Pagoda Pass on the border from Thailand to Myanmar
was since hundreds of years the virtual door where the Burmese came in
bringing war to Thailand.
Therefore the Three Pagoda Pass on the border from Thailand to Myanmar is a politically
very sensitive place and if something happen
-from time to time both armies exchange fire - sometimes the Thai and sometimes the
Myanmar's
close the Three Pagoda Pass but in the last dozen of years (2009
backwards) no hostility were happen anymore.
For tourists, nature lover, bird watcher and travelers the area
around the three or 3 Pagoda Pass on the border from Thailand to
Myanmar in the west of Kanchanaburi province is a real attraction.
The ideal place for
mountain biking, rafting, fishing, play golf, jungle trekking and
floating on bamboo raft's
brings close encounter with nature
and adventure travel. |
