There is a lovely restaurant right on the river and you can watch the train go over the bridge in comfort. Have the snakehead fish for lunch - its ugley but the flavour is awesome

Bridge Over River Kwai and related sites (Hellfire Museum, Death Railway) are must-see sites in Kanchanaburi. In fact, a trip to Kanchanaburi to see these sites is a must! We stayed at Thai Garden Inn where you can walk from the Inn down a country road to the bridge and cross over so that you approach town from the opposite... More

If you are a history buff or someone who appreciates the sacrifices of the military the bridge is definately going to be very interesting to you.
