Introduction to the Death Railway: During the Japanese occupation of Thailand in World War II, they forced Allied prisoners of war to build a railway connecting Myanmar and Siam. This railway was completed after countless precious lives were sacrificed, so it was known as the "Death Railway" say. The Bridge on the River Kwai is one of these sections, known as the "Death Railway". Back then, many laborers became wandering ghosts while building the Bridge on the River Kwai.
