		Really more than a one-day trip (best as an overnight), Kanchanaburi is home of the famed Bridge over the River Kwai and the notorious internment camps for Allied troops forced into servitude (and death) by the Japanese during World War II in an effort to link Burma and Thailand by rail.
		Made legendary by the film of the same name, "The Bridge over the River Kwai" lives on in name only; the existing bridge is just a little rattle-trap trestle that crosses not the River Kwai but a tributary (but that doesn't stop souvenir hawkers and the tourist infrastructure that has grown up around the bridge).
