Death RailwayBuilt during the Japanese occupation of Thailand in World War II, and made famous by the eponymous 1957 movie Bridge on the River Kwai – the Burma-Siam train track saw more than 100.000 prisoners of war and civilian laborers lose their lives due to hunger and exhaustion, making it one of the deadliest construction projects in modern history (hence the name). From Bangkok.
