Bridge Over The River Kwai: Full-Day Guided Tour for 2 - Bangkok, Thailand

Cross The Bridge on the River Kwai on foot on a full-day guided tour from Bangkok. Learn about the tragic history of how this wooden structure, known as the 'Death Railway,' was constructed. Built by prisoners of war and Asian slave laborers during WWII to connect Myanmar with Thailand, the line ran for 250 miles and many died due to dangerous conditions. You will travel to the town of Kanchanaburi for lunch in a local restaurant before paying homage to those who took part in this dangerous project. Visit two cemeteries, where roughly 9,000 soldiers are buried, and gain insight into the harsh realities of war at the Thailand–Burma Railway Centre.
