The Bridge over the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi, Thailand is a famous landmark and tourist attraction. It was built by Allied prisoners of war during World War II, and is now a memorial to those who lost their lives during its construction. The bridge spans the Mae Klong River, and is a part of the Death Railway, a railway line that was built to connect Thailand and Burma. The bridge is a steel truss bridge, and is approximately 400 meters long. It is a popular tourist attraction, and visitors can take a train ride across the bridge, or take a boat ride along the river. The bridge is also a popular spot for taking photographs, and is a reminder of the suffering and hardship endured by those who built it.
