Have you visited the River Kwai Area in western Thailand? (On the count of one, begin whistling the Colonel Bogey March from Bridge On The River Kwai.) Kanchanaburi is known across the globe for its most famous World War II landmarks - Bridge On (or over) the River Kwai (Kwae) and Death Railway. Used by the Japanese army as a strategic supplies route into Burma through dense, tropical jungles, there is more to see than just these icons. Stay along the River Kwai - vegetate, relax, or party in one of the many bars; take a long tail boat up the Kwai Noi River to raft, swim, ride elephants; climb waterfalls; see Stupas/Chedis/Pagodas; and ride the Death Railway.
