  • Memorial stones at the POW Cemetary, Kanchanaburi<br /> <br /> The cemetary contains the graves of almost 7,000 Allied, mostly British and Australian, prisoners who died building the Thailand-Burma Railway.
  • A view of the River Kwai at Kanchanaburi, which is a lush green region.
  • River Kwai (Khwae Yai River) and bridge
  • Crossing the bridge on foot is a major tourist attraction.
  • This modern day "Bridge on the River Kwai" (built in 1943 and subsequently bombed by the US in 1945, which knocked out the central span), has replaced the original bridge built by the Japanese. <br /> <br /> The bridge, just to the north of Kanchanaburi town centre, was part of an enormous project , the 414km Burma-Siam Ralroad conceived by the Japanese after the Allies blocked sea routes in 1942. It was built by 60,000 Allied prisoners and 300,000 Asian labourers under appalling conditions, including 18 hour shifts and disease.
  • Twice daily, the train departs Kanchanaburi for Nam Tok, crossing the rickety structure. Today, only the 77km stetch between Kanchanaburi and Nam Tok remains in regular use.
