Skywalk Kanchanaburi City

Kanchanaburi Skywalk (Song Kwae Skywalk) The Kanchanaburi Skywalk is a relatively new and exciting landmark in the city, offering a modern way to experience the area's famous natural beauty and riverside life. • Glass Walkway: The most notable feature is the 150-meter-long walkway with a transparent glass floor. Standing 12 meters above the ground, it provides a thrilling, bird's-eye perspective of the rivers and the surrounding city, making for excellent photos. • The Two-Tone River View: The Skywalk is strategically built near the confluence (the meeting point) of the Khwae Yai River and the Khwae Noi River, which combine to form the Mae Klong River. From the Skywalk, visitors get a clear panoramic view of where these rivers—often with slightly different water colors—merge. • Panoramic Vistas: It offers a true 360-degree view, encompassing not only the rivers and the surrounding mountains but also nearby historical and cultural sites, such as riverside temples and the local community that lives on floating houses (rafts). • Atmosphere: The area is designed to be a vibrant public space. It’s particularly popular during the evening when the structure lights up, and when the adjacent Walking Street (night market) is open on Saturday nights, adding to the lively local atmosphere. Visitor Information • Location: The Skywalk is situated in the Mueang District, near the Kanchanaburi City Pillar Shrine. • Admission: There is a small fee (typically 60 THB) that covers the cost of special shoe coverings that must be worn to protect the glass floor.

Nice experience, you have a pair of soft shoe covers to slip over your shoes, take a lift up to the bridge level. Good view, evenings provide some good pictures. There are two points at the end of the skywalk where the maximum number of people standing (at once) are fixed at 10 and 15 people. No one there to control the number of people - so keep a watch and follow those numbers for safety.

We went one hour before closing and it was well worth the price of admission (60 baht per person)! There weren't too many people there, which made it easy to take wonderful pictures of the sunset. The 360° views of the city were lovely as well. Highly recommended!
