Skywalk Kanchanaburi City
Sixty baht buys you a walk along 150 metres of glass, 12 metres above Songkwai Road, and the payoff is the view of the confluence where the Khwae Yai and Khwae Noi merge into the Mae Klong. Mountains behind, city rooftops around, boats and raft restaurants on the water below. It's a twenty-minute stop rather than an outing, and it works best strung together with the walking street and night market nearby.
Go late. Reviewers who turned up in the last hour before closing had the place close to themselves and got the sunset, which is the whole point. Midday is hot and busier. You slip shoe covers over your own shoes at the entrance, so wear whatever you like, and there's a lift up, which means fitness isn't a factor. At the far end are two viewing platforms with posted limits of 10 and 15 people. Nobody enforces them, so use your own judgement and don't crowd on.

Reviews from Google
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!
Skywalk Kanchanaburi City is a modern viewpoint with a glass walkway (about 150 m long and 12 m high) overlooking the riverside. The main highlight is the confluence view where the Khwae Yai and Khwae Noi meet to form the Mae Klong River. It’s very photogenic and easy to combine with the nearby walking street/night market area, but it can feel crowded at peak times. Great for sunset photos and a short scenic stop in town.
60 THB per each. I heard that they allow only 150 people maximum per batch. But i didn’t have to wait cause there were not crowded. Stunning view. You can see the mountain and the city. The river with some boat and restaurant raft as well. Recommend to go there in the evening cause it’s hot.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Popular Activities Online
Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
