Built during the COVID pandemic, the Kanchanaburi Skywalk spans the Kwae Yai River, where the three rivers of Kanchanaburi – Mae Klong, Phachi, and Kwae Yai – converge. At a height of 12 meters, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the river and mountains, with the imposing Buddha of Wat Tham Khao Laem at its center. The glass walkway runs 150 meters along the Kwae Yai. To the right of the walkway, on the city side, is the 60th Anniversary Maharat Hall, while to the left, you can admire the three rivers. Adjacent to the Skywalk, a pedestrian promenade runs along the banks of the Kwae Yai, providing visitors with a vibrant public space for strolling, relaxing, and various activities. There's also a walking street and a large night market once a week. In my opinion, the best time to visit the Kanchanaburi Skywalk is around 6 pm, as the sun sets. Stack up above it and stay until dusk to see it light up.

Admission: 60 THB (officially not the entrance fee, but the price for the velvet ice skates you must wear on the glass floor of the Skywalk). Open from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Before using the stairs or elevator, you can store your personal belongings (except mobile phones and cameras) in a locker (free of charge).

The best way to reach the Kanchanaburi Skywalk from the bridge over the River Kwai is by tuk-tuk, a motorcycle with a sidecar and roof. The price varies between 60 and 100 THB depending on the location.
