A little about ...   How to travel here ...

It's not that well known but even though this is the real bridge over river Kwai in Thailand the river was once known as Mae Khlung. The book got it wrong and after the popularity of the movie Thai officials changed the rivers name.

You can visit the Bridge over river Kwai today quiet easily with several tour companies. But the best way is to actually cross the bridge on a train.

The easiest and cheapest way to visit the bridge by train from Bangkok is to follow my guide to taking a weekend train to the bridge over river kwai and Kanchanaburi.
