Kanchanaburi Old Thai Paper Mill

Kanchanaburi Old Thai Paper Mill is an industrial heritage site in the city’s old-town area. Construction began in the 1930s and the mill officially opened in 1938. It processed bamboo into paper used for products including banknotes and stamps, making it part of Thailand’s early industrial development as well as Kanchanaburi’s local history. The surviving factory buildings give the site a different character from the province’s temples and wartime railway landmarks. Visitors can appreciate the industrial architecture and the relationship between the former works and the surrounding city. The grounds have also been used for cultural events that present the mill as a place of shared local memory. It is especially relevant to visitors interested in architecture, heritage photography and the story of Kanchanaburi beyond its better-known river attractions.
