Weekend Snapshot: On the River Kwai

Kanchanaburi is rich with World War II history. I was there a few weekends ago and visited several tourist spots. The photos I'm posting for now are those of the River Kwai. This was taken very early in the morning on the bank of the River Kwai:

The 'Bridge on the River Kwai' (taken late in the afternoon). You may be familiar with this caption as also a title of a novel. The film of the same title is, according to the link, "deemed 'culturally, historically or aesthetically' siginifcant and selected for preservation in the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry."

Have a great week, everyone!
