Located about 20 kilometers from the city center, this enormous, centuries-old rain tree is one of Kanchanaburi's main attractions. With its 15-meter-thick trunk from which numerous branches extend, its height of 20 meters, and especially its crown, which spans over 25 meters and resembles a giant parasol, it is truly majestic. On Google Maps, you'll find it under the name "Giant Raintree," while the information panel refers to it as the "Giant Monkey Pod Tree." In September 2018, an elevated walkway was built around the giant tree to prevent visitors from walking on its roots.

There is no public transport to get to the Kanchanaburi Giant Raintree; you will either need your own transport or you will need to hire a tuk-tuk to get there.
