Bridge on the River Kwai. The bridge is located in the small town of Kanchanaburi where the majority of guesthouses back onto the infamous Kwai River. The bridge is, well, a bridge. The history behind it however is far from ordinary. As the Japanese extended their invasion of Thailand into the West of Burma, their success was hampered by the difficulty in supplying troops with provisions and so a supply line, the railway, was built. The Japanese, using POWs and civilian conscripts, adopted a brutal and barbaric work regime that saw the completion of the railway in one year rather than the three it was estimated to take. These 'speedo' tactics cost the lives of a staggering three hundred thousand men. © www.tomjutte.tk

Very impressive picture of this so well known bridge that made such a wonderful movie, the reflection is great and I hope all the poor beggers who died building this R.I.P. God Bless them. Hugs, Shirley

I can hear the movie's theme song being whistled now. No doubt a very different scenario from the time the bridge was built.
