Overview
Kanchanaburi's famous Bridge on the River Kwai is a poignant reminder of the thousands of POW's and forced labourers who lost their lives in the Second World War. This full day guided tour from Bangkok includes touching visits to a small war museum and a POW cemetery. The day will also consist of an exhilarating long-tailed speedboat ride, a walk across the Bridge and a ride along the tracks of the Death Railway on a local train.

What To Expect
Bridge Over the River Kwai
The railway connected Kanchanaburi in Western Thailand with Rangoon in Myanmar, called Burma back then, and was about 415 kilometers long. On both ends construction began in June 1942 working towards each other. In October 1943 the two sides met, finishing the railway.

Reviews
At times it did feel a bit rushed as my partner and I were more interested in the WW2 historical aspects of the Thai-Burma railway, rather than it being simply a photo opportunity. But we also understand that there were lots to see in the short amount of time and that the historical elements weren't necessarily of everyone's interest.
Be prepared to spend some time on the mini van as Kanchanaburi is a little further away from Bangkok.
