The River Kwai Bridge is a famous historic bridge in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. It was built during World War II by Allied prisoners of war as part of the so-called "Death Railway" to connect Japanese forces with Burma (now Myanmar). Today, the bridge is a significant monument and popular tourist attraction commemorating the prisoners' hard work and suffering.
