    Bridge on the Kwai

    May 26, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 97 °F

    One draw of our current location is the famous bridge on the river Kwai. It was built by the POWs during World War II and they were worked to death building the Thai-Burma railroad to connect two major cities. The structure still exists, although it was rebuilt. Students have learned the history… That is the real history… And not the history portrayed by a fictional movie of happy-go-lucky POWs who were healthy and joyful as they built the railroad.Read more
