Shopping
Major souvenir shops are concentrated around the eastern approaches , and riverine environment, of the world-famous bridge.  Almost every handicraft produced in Thailand can be purchased there.  Browsing to compare quality, and good-humoured but determined bargaining, will ensure favourable prices for ready made leisure wear and other apparel, and popular souvenirs such as jewelry home-spun clothes, wooden furniture and decorations, young coconut jelly, tamarind candy and several kinds of snack.

Kanchanaburi is a major source of high-quality Thai blue sapphires.  These are mined at Bo Phloi  District, as are onyx and topaz.  Purchases of finished jewelry creations can be made at Jewelry Center.

Dining
Excellent Thai and Chinese cuisine features freshly caught river fish. The most popular dining areas are the Song Kwae Road waterfront area and the riverside restaurants in the vicinity of the River Kwae Bridge.
