The River Kwai Bridge is one of Kanchanaburi’s most famous landmarks, constructed during World War II by prisoners of war to accommodate a railroad line between Thailand and Myanmar. While this bridge has a tragic story to tell, it looks wonderful at sunset with hues of orange bouncing off the water below.

Every year, a Light and Sound Show is held at the bridge to commemorate the prisoners of war who lost their lives during its construction. Keep your eyes peeled for this year’s festival dates – it's usually held for a period of 10 days from late November through to early December.
