The province of Kanchanaburi is approximately 123 km west of our capital, Bangkok (about two-hour drive by car), with a wealth of natural and historical attractions. The Bridge over the River Kwai, the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, the Saiyok Yai Waterfall, to mention just a few. The climate is tropical otherwise moderately pleasant throughout the year with temperature varying from 20 ℃ to 38 ℃ and with some showers from July to September. Owing to its location amid Permian-Triassic karst landscapes, Mahidol University Kanchanaburi Campus, fits so nicely as the venue for the IESO 2018 activities.
