Bridge Over the River Kwai Festival in Photos

The Bridge Over the River Kwai Festival takes place every year in late November and early December. The main event is Sound & Light Show, which tells the history of the Death Railway, the Hellfire Pass and the Bridge on the River Kwai.

We watched the show from aboard a raft boat but I think in hindsight getting a ticket in the grand stand beside the bridge would probably be the better option. The show was really good fun with an atmospheric soundtrack, horizontal fireworks and explosions, men on fire and a mick section of the bridge collapsing into the river.

    • About Ben’s Backpacking Travel Blog

      The main aim of this travel blog is to share travel experiences and hopefully inspire others to travel. When researching my own travels I always focus on the photos and with that in mind I've tried to place an emphasis on travel photos of my favourite destinations. I've also tried to focus on those places to visit and things to do that are slightly off the beaten track of the normal backpacking trip.

      My blog covers past experiences backpacking around the world and my current travels where so far I've been lucky enough to travel in the South Pacific, Australasia, South East Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
