To recap the experience of the "Death Railway"
River Kwai的点评
点评：A Miss-not Death Railway Bridge to experience
The Bridge over the River Kwai, located in Kanchanaburi, Thailand is famous as a historic iron bridge known as the "Death Railway" built by Allied prisoners of war (POWs) and forced laborers for the Japanese during World War II. The bridge is well known for its scenic views and a memorial site to those who had sacrificed during its construction.
It was known that the 415-kilometer long "Death Railway" was constructed in 1942–1943 connecting Thailand and Burma (now Myanmar), enabling Japanese forces to transport supplies. Over 16,000 POWs (the British, Dutch, Australian, and American) and roughly 90,000 civilian laborers died during the construction of the railway due to brutal conditions, disease, and starvation.
We found that the bridge spans the Khwae Yai (renamed in 1960) River, which was said to rename as it crosses the Mae Klong River. What we know special about is the influence by the global recognition of the 1957 fictional film ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ starred by William Holden besides many others. The film won seven Academy awards
Today it has become the tourist attraction site where the visitors can walk across the bridge, or take photographs and videos.
People can also visit nearby war memorials, and/or take train rides along the railway to experience the ‘Death Railway’ which recapped the hardship of WW II sacrifices.
The original bridge was said to be a wooden structured bridge but the damaged parts of the original sections were restored because the bridge was bombed several times by the Allied forces.
One interesting feature about this place is ‘A River Kwai Bridge Week’. This is known to held annually in late November / or early December months, featuring a sound-and-light show that re-kindles the wartime bombing.

翻译：不容错过的死亡铁路桥体验
位于泰国北碧府的桂河大桥，是一座历史悠久的铁桥，因二战期间由盟军战俘和日军强迫劳工修建的“死亡铁路”而闻名。这座桥以其优美的景色和纪念在修建过程中牺牲的人们的纪念碑而闻名。
据悉，这条全长415公里的“死亡铁路”于1942年至1943年间建成，连接泰国和缅甸（现为缅甸联邦），为日军运输物资提供了便利。在铁路修建过程中，超过16,000名战俘（包括英国、荷兰、澳大利亚和美国的战俘）以及约90,000名平民劳工因恶劣的工作环境、疾病和饥饿而丧生。
我们发现，这座桥横跨桂河（1960年更名），据说桂河因跨越湄公河而改名。我们所熟知的桂河大桥，是1957年由威廉·霍尔顿等众多明星主演的虚构电影《桂河大桥》在全球范围内取得的巨大成功。这部电影荣获七项奥斯卡金像奖。
如今，桂河大桥已成为热门旅游景点，游客可以漫步桥上，拍照留念。
人们还可以参观附近的战争纪念碑，或乘坐火车沿着铁路线体验“死亡铁路”，感受二战期间人们所遭受的苦难。
据说，桂河大桥最初是一座木结构桥梁，但由于曾多次遭到盟军轰炸，受损部分后来进行了修复。
桂河大桥的一大特色是“桂河大桥周”。这项活动每年11月下旬或12月初举行，届时将上演声光秀，重现二战时期的轰炸场景。
