Stop At: Bridge Over the River Kwai, Tha Makham, Kanchanaburi 71000 Thailand

The famous bridge of the Myanmar railway crossing the river at Tha Makham Subdistrict,

Mueang District However, this is not the same bridge that appears in the bridge over the River Kwai by Pierre Boulle and in the film adaptation.The bridge was constructed of wood about 100 meters (330 feet) upstream from the current bridge during the construction of steel and concrete bridges and was rebuilt in 1945 when the steel bridge was bombed. There are no remnants of a wooden bridge. The wooden bridge is not a bridge that appears in the movie because the river is not called Kwai Yai at that time. (Credit wikipedia.org)
