Tourists on a boat floating towards the bridge over the river Kwai. Kanchanaburi. Thailand

---

‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’. The spans on the left are the original wartime spans; those on the right, the post-war replacements of the spans bombed in 1944–45. One hundred metres downstream there was a second bridge during World War II. This was a wooden bridge which could carry light diesel rail trucks transporting construction materials while the main bridge was being built.
