The small settlement, some 225 kms from Kanchanaburi, edges on the northernmost extremities of Khao Laem Dam.  The scenic 75-km route from Khao Laem largely parallels the reservoir passing several raft complexs and roadside cascades.

Wat Wang Wiwekaram

Located 9 kms from the town.  This extensive temple on the southern outskirts of Sangkhlaburi edges the Khao Laem reservoir.  The complex is constructed in an unusual mix of Thai, Indian and Burmese Buddhist architectural styles, and the abbot “Luang Pho Uttama” is highly revered among local people including tribal folks and Burmese.

Mon Bridge

It is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand linking Sangkhla Buri and Mon Villages. The bridge overlooks a scenic landscape and local people’s way of life.

Three Pagodas Pass

22 kilometers from Sangkhla Buri, the three miniature pagodas are memorials of an important route of the troops during the wartime of the Ayutthaya period. It also marks the rugged Thai-Myanmar border and is the site of a small thriving border marker. Visitors are allowed to enter the neighboring Burmese settlement.

Takian Thong Waterfall

Travel along the route to the Three Pagodas Pass, then turn left at the junction and go on for 10 kms and take another 40 minute walk to the falls.  Visitors are advised to use a four-wheeled drive car due to the road conditions.
