Thailand LJ Day 2: Death Railway

Saturday 3 Sep 2011
Located 130km southwest of Bangkok, it was during the mid 50s when the World War 2 movie “Bridge over the River Kwai” came upon the world that Kanchanaburi gained the dubious distinction as being the locality of the infamous Death Railway. This Bridge and Railway built through the rugged Kanchanaburi jungles to Bruma by the Japanese Army claimed the lives of over 16,000 Allied prisoners-of-war.
