Kanchanaburi food guide
Kanchanaburi food is a town night market and a river table by the bridge. Eat dinner in town, not on a day-trip van.

Town first: the carts on Saeng Chuto Road and the night market by the bus terminal feed mostly Thai diners at local prices.
Bridge view: Keeree Tara sits about 100 m from the bridge. The cooking is mild; the view is the reason. For the stay map use Kanchanaburi.
