Golden Pagoda, Wat Tham Khao Poon: The ultimate Unseen viewpoint and historical traces along the Khwae Noi River. If you are looking for a tourist destination that combines the tranquility of Dharma and valuable historical stories, "Wat Tham Khao Poon" is a destination not to be missed. Although this temple is not far from Kanchanaburi city, it offers a peaceful atmosphere and a unique charm.
The highlight that catches the eye from afar is the "Golden Pagoda" that stands majestically on the hilltop. When you walk up to this area, you will find one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Khwae Noi River bend. The image of the train slowly passing through the foothills parallel to the river is a photo angle that is said to be beautiful at a million-dollar level.
In addition to the beauty on the hilltop, inside Khao Poon Cave there are 9 natural halls, each of which houses ancient Buddha images for us to worship for good fortune. Importantly, this place also has a history linked to the World War II era, having been the location of a prisoner of war camp and a Japanese military hospital. These traces still remain for later generations to study alongside the Death Railway.
Visiting the Golden Pagoda, Wat Tham Khao Poon is not just about worshiping Buddha images, but about absorbing an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else. If anyone is planning a trip to Kanchanaburi, Nong James recommends that you put this place on your list.
