WON DAE SONG
Won Dae Song is a Korean-themed garden and café set against mountain scenery in the Wang Dong area of Kanchanaburi. The grounds feature neatly arranged flower beds, decorative backdrops, and walking paths that make it a popular stop for photography enthusiasts. Visitors can rent traditional Korean dress on-site for photo sessions, adding a culturally themed element that sets it apart from typical garden attractions in the region. The combination of manicured landscaping and natural mountain scenery creates a relaxed, visually appealing atmosphere. Food and beverages are available on-site, though visitors generally describe the dining as decent rather than a highlight. Most people spend between one and two hours exploring the outdoor grounds and photo spots. An entrance fee of 40 baht per person applies. The venue pairs well with a trip to Mallika City, which is approximately a 15-minute drive away, making it a convenient addition to a broader day out in the area. Good to know: The majority of the grounds are outdoors, and the site can become uncomfortably hot during the day, so a morning visit is strongly recommended. The road leading to the venue is in poor condition, and travelling in a sturdy vehicle is advisable. The venue appears to close earlier in the afternoon, so arriving well before mid-afternoon ensures enough time to explore the grounds at a comfortable pace.

Visitor Reviews
Korean restaurant in a picturesque environment at the bottom of the mountain. The road to the restaurant is very bad, really can use some repairs. Entrance to the restaurant is 40 baht a person, they discount 20 baht on the beverage later. The food was delicious . The restaurant has a beautiful garden with beautiful scenery.
This is a very pleasant and relaxing place to visit, with neatly laid out beds of plants and flowers with paths between them for people to walk around. There are many spectacular views within the gardens, but the best is from the top of the staircase, though unless you have a head for heights you may want to avoid this as there are no handrails to hold on to. There is a large block of toilets which were clean and tidy with handwashing facilities that included soap and a means of drying your hands. There were cafes on the site but these were not open when we visited. There were parts of the gardens which were still being built, or maybe remodelled.
If you are already visiting Mallika city, this is a15 mins drive. A small but nice place - we rented the Korean dress & took pics. We didn’t have time for food & drinks though. The place closes by 6:00 pm but we were there till 6:30. - we lost track of time! The staff were very patient. There flowers were not blooming yet so we took pics with the artificial flowers😅 I just feel the management should make some improvements. Worth visiting for those who loves to take pics!

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 Through Klook or GetYourGuide
These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. 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.
