The Bridge Over the River Kwai Light & Sound Show - Bridge Week Festival Kanchanaburi Thailand 2024

The Bridge Over the River Kwai Light and Sound Show is a part of the River Kwai Bridge Week Festival, which is held annually from late November to early December. The event commemorates the lives lost during World War II and features various activities, including folklore shows.

The River Kwai Bridge is an iron bridge that runs across the upper part of the Mae Klong River, which joins with the Khwae Noi tributary. Due to popular misassociation with the Khwae Noi, that section of the Mae Klong was subsequently renamed Khwae Yai. The bridge was part of the Thai-Burma Railway that ran from Ban Pong, Thailand to Thanbyuzayat, Myanmar. The railway, most of which had been dismantled after World War II, had served as a military supply route for Imperial Japanese troops.

The light and sound show is an audio-visual performance that showcases the legacy of the bridge events during the war.

The performance is presented beautifully visually, allowing viewers to follow the story, especially if they know the history behind it.

The show is typically performed in Thai, but the visual presentation makes it accessible to non-Thai speakers.

Admission is free to the public with a limited amount of headsets available for English translation. Shows are night starting at 7:00 pm during the festival from November 28th to December 8th, 2024.
