River Kwai Bridge Light&sound Week 2019

This event takes you going back in time to World War II through the River Kwai Bridge. The bridge that built by Allied prisoners-of-war.

This bridge was the part of the ‘Death Railway’ that spanned the River Kwai connecting Thailand and Myanmar, costing thousands of  lives of prisoners and local laborers supervised by Japanese troops.

The event features a remembrance ceremony held at the Allied War Cemetery, light and sound presentations which the audience see a more exciting battle scene with simulated effects such as life-like explosions, flying bomber planes, and trains running through fire during a stunning scene when the bridge is first revealed.

Moreover, there are cultural performances, historical displays and exhibitions, and selling of five-star OTOP (local feature)products, local products and food.
