"The rainy season in Kanchanaburi is a great time to visit."

"Kanchanaburi: A Year-Round Destination"

Kanchanaburi offers year-round attractions, including the Pink Elephant Tour, Erawan National Park, and the Vajiralongkorn Dam.

Nestled amidst rolling hills and shrouded in a perpetual mist, Pilok Mine boasts pristine air and breathtaking scenery. Situated on the westernmost edge of Thailand, bordering Myanmar, this hidden gem is home to the quaint village of E-Tong in Thong Pha Phum District, Kanchanaburi Province. Once a thriving hub of over 60 mines, Pilok Mine earned its name as a testament to its rich mineral resources. Today, the abandoned mines stand as silent sentinels of a bygone era, their skeletal structures serving as a poignant reminder of the past. Yet, amidst the remnants of industry, a captivating allure emerges, beckoning adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the village's pristine natural beauty.

E-tong Village: A Hidden Gem in the Mountains

Nestled amidst rolling hills and shrouded in mist, E-tong Village offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. While seemingly unassuming at first glance, this small community exudes a charm that is hard to resist.

Beyond the basic amenities of houses, shops, and temples, E-tong boasts a unique allure. The surrounding landscape, with its verdant valleys and cascading waterfalls, provides a breathtaking backdrop for exploration. Nearby attractions, such as the scenic viewpoints of Neun Chang Suk and Neun Sao Thong, the historic Samsak Mine, and the majestic Thong Pha Phum National Park, offer a glimpse into the region's rich history and natural beauty.

But E-tong's true magic lies in its role as a gateway to the awe-inspiring Mount Chang Phuak. This towering peak, a highlight of Kanchanaburi Province, beckons adventurous souls with its challenging yet rewarding trails.

Whether seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature or an exhilarating climb to new heights, E-tong Village promises an unforgettable experience.

Nestled within the village, a charming nook awaits. A wooden railing bridge adorned with small, personalized wooden plaques serves as a delightful memento for visitors. Beside the village pond, a quaint shop offers these miniature wooden plaques, inviting tourists to pen their names and heartfelt messages before hanging them on the railing. This unique tradition allows visitors to leave a tangible trace of their visit, creating a tapestry of memories and emotions.
