		Kanchanaburi (Thai กาญจนบุรี) is the capital of Kanchanaburi Province and is located at the confluence of the rivers Kwai Noi and Kwai Yai.
		For most visitors it holds precisely one sight of interest, namely the Bridge over the River Kwai, the start of the infamous World War II Death Railway to Burma (Myanmar), although there is an increasingly thriving backpacker scene taking advantage of the chilled-out riverside vibe.
		You may be interested in buying a ticket all the way to the River Kwai Bridge, since these two trains are the only ones which cross the bridge each day.

		The town of Kanchanaburi is located at the point where the Kwai Noi and Kwai Yai River meet and form the Mae-Klong River.
		All around the city the most impressive feature is nature itself: wild waters between high jungle terrains, caves and grottoes with what look like petrified cascades of ice and rock beneath which you can swim, creepers, wild orchids, rare birds and butterflies of many kinds, water buffaloes and elephants basking in the water.

	The Bridge on the River Kwai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		David Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai centers around the construction of a large, sturdy, rustically beautiful railway, built by British prisoners of war across the Thai river Kwai.
		The Bridge on the River Kwai begins in 1943, in a labor camp where the Japanese General Saito (Sessue Hayakawa) organizes hundreds of English, Australian, and American into the principal strategic act of creating the titular bridge.
		Several of his less disciplined colleagues in the camp persuade Shears to join their escape attempt at the film's beginning, though Saito has made quite clear how unnavigable and well-patrolled are the jungle regions on all sides of the camp.

		David Lean's THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI is certainly one of the great war epics of the cinema.
		Of course, all this character development, which may or may not necessarily be interesting by itself, serves as a backdrop for what is essentially an adventure on a grand scale, and on that level it also works triumphantly, delivering beautiful widescreen cinematography, lush settings, and genuine suspense, particularly in its tense final moments.
		Captured British soliders are commanded to build a bridge over the river Kwai, as an integral part of the opposing side's railway.

		Narrated by William Holden, and using footage from The Bridge on the River Kwai, this is an unusual but fascinating piece of film history.
		It is, in a sense, a small epic, and it is one that unfolds at its own pace, like "The Green Mile." "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is not big, and it is not fast.
		1957's Bridge On The River Kwai is a stirring war film that is based on a novel that itself was inspired by real life events.
