EATING & DRINKING
Kanchanaburi is not a culinary destination, and guesthouse-style and tourist-oriented res-
taurants serving bland Thai standards seem to dominate. It is, however, something of a
nightlife town, and bars extend nearly the entire length of Th Mae Nam Khwae. Of these,
tacky hostess bars dominate the southern end, backpacker-friendly pubs define the middle,
and open-air bar-restaurants for the Thai crowd can be found at the street's northern end.
