Archaeological remains found in Kanchanaburi date back to the 4th century, with evidence of trade with the surrounding countries at that time. Very little is known about the historical Khmer influence in Kanchanaburi, but Prasat Muang Sing – one of the country’s most well-known Khmer sites - provides evidence of their occupation.
Not much was historically recorded about Kanchanaburi province before the reign of King Rama I, but some historians believe that the province was of much strategical importance during the Ayutthaya period. In 1982, many human and elephant skeletons and swords were found in Phanom Thuan District, leading to speculation that this site might even have been the location of the famous battle of King Naresuan against the Burmese crown-prince, most commonly assigned to the Don Chedi District in nearby Suphanburi Province. With the rise of the Chakri Dynasty and General Chakri (who would later become King Rama I) Kanchanaburi was certainly a distinctive strategical point in the defense against the invading Burmese.
Most foreigners are mainly aware of Kanchanaburi’s recent history with the The Death Railway. During the Japanese occupation of Thailand in 1942, both allied POWs and Asian labourers were ordered by the Japanese to build a Thailand-Burma railway. Eventually, more than 100,000 people (16,000 allied POWs and 90,000 local Asian labourers) died from horrific working conditions.
