The annual River Kwai Bridge Week and Kanchanaburi Red Cross Fair is set to return this year from 30th November to 9th December 2018. The highlight is the light-and-sound show that tells the stories of World War II in honour of the prisoners of war and Asian labourers who built the infamous Death Railway, the Bridge on the River Kwai and the Hellfire Pass.

The event will be held in conjunction with the Kanchanaburi Red Cross Fair 2017, offering plenty of shopping opportunity for local products, along with a range of entertainments, such as exhibitions from governmental organisations and educational institutions, a mini motor show, concert and cultural performances.

While in Kanchanaburi, visitors can also visit other famous attractions including Srinakharin Dam, Vajiralongkorn Dam, Sai Yok Noi and Yai Waterfalls, Erawan Waterfall, Mon Bridge, Mueang Sing Historical Park, Three Pagodas Pass, Wat Wang Wiwekaram, Underwater City, The Bridge of the River Kwai, Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, and World War II Museum and Art Gallery.
