The Bridge of The River Kwai
River Kwai Bridge is a must-see place in Kanchanaburi because it is the bridge coming with the history during World War II. It becomes famous because there is a book, named Bridge over River Kwai. Although there is nothing much to see, but it has been the landmark of Kanchanaburi. Anyone who come to kanchanaburi always has a photo with the bridge.
River Kwai Bridge is considered as a remembrance of cruelness during World War II (1941-1945) since Japanese army wants to build a long railway for easily transferring weapons to Burma. This railway starts from Baan Pong district to Chedi Sam Ong district, approximately 415 kilometers. The reason why this bridge is seen as a remembrance of cruelness is because it was built by almost a hundred thousand prisoners of the war, where the prisoners are from various countries, and a lot of the prisoners are also died there (by weariness, malaria fever, wild animals, and starve to death).
Visitors can walk across Kwai river by this bridge in order to see sight from another side of the bridge. The length of the bridge is only about 300 meters, and there are several pausing points on the bridge for visitors to avoid when a train passby. In the case visitors are not comfortable enough to walk across the bridge, there is a tram that comes and goes between the bridge as well. It take about 15 minutes to across the river and come back to the station.
