Overview
The "River Kwai" tour likely refers to a tour that involves visiting the River Kwai area in Thailand, which is known for its historical significance, natural beauty, and cultural experiences. This tour includes visiting the best museum in Kanchanaburi. Thailand-Burma Railway Centre.
The River Kwai area is famous for the Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway, which was built during World War II by prisoners of war and Asian laborers under Japanese occupation. The history of this railway and the associated Bridge on the River Kwai is a major draw for tourists interested in wartime history.

Drive 3 hours from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi.
In 1942 Kanchanaburi was under Japanese control. It was here that Asian forced laborers and Allied POWs, building the infamous Burma Railway, constructed a bridge, an event fictionalized in the films The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Return from the River Kwai (1989) and The Railway Man (2013). Almost half of the prisoners working on the project died from disease, maltreatment, or accidents. There were four POW camps in or near the city, including Tamarkan which was used as a work camp to construct the bridge. After the completion of the railway line, most prisoners were concentrated in the Kanchanaburi area and often sent on to Japan or French Indo-China.

Thailand-Burma Railway Centre
The Burma Railway, also known as the Siam–Burma Railway, Thai–Burma Railway, and similar names, or as the Death Railway, is a 415 km (258 mi) railway between Ban Pong, Thailand, and Thanbyuzayat, Burma (now called Myanmar). It was built from 1940 to 1943 by civilian laborers impressed or recruited by the Japanese and prisoners of war taken by the Japanese, to supply troops and weapons in the Burma campaign of World War II. It completed the rail link between Bangkok, Thailand, and Rangoon, Burma. The name used by the Japanese Government was Tai–Men Rensetsu Tetsudō, which means Thailand-Burma-Link-Railway.
Between 180,000 and 250,000 Southeast Asian civilians and over 60,000 Allied prisoners of war were subjected to forced labor during its construction. Around 90,000 civilians died, as did more than 12,000 Allied prisoners.
Most of the railway was dismantled shortly after the war. Only the first 130 kilometers (81 mi) of the line in Thailand remained.
