Kanchanaburi or The Bridge On The River Kwai
The Bridge on the River Kwai is near a little town
of around 50 thousand people called Kanchanaburi,
about 130 km west of Bangkok on the Khwae Noi River.
During WWII the Japanese used Allied prisoners of
war to construct the railway to
help their war efforts in Burma.
A book and a movie about the allied prisoners building
the bridge put the sleepy, little town on
the tourist' must see' route.
There are some temples and other
attractions in the township as well.
