In Kan chanaburi, 122 kilometers northwest of Bangkok, this bridge across the Gui River, the Gui River Bridge, reflects a period of history during World War II: during the Japanese occupation of Thailand, they forced the Allied prisoners of war to build a railway connecting Myanmar and Siam. This railway was completed only after countless precious lives were sacrificed, so it is called the "dead railway". The Guihe River Bridge is one of them, which is called the throat of the "Death Railway". The terrain on one side of the bridge is relatively gentle, but once crossing the river, there are steep peaks, and some sections are even cut on the cliffs.
