The 2017 edition is scheduled in for November 24th – December 3rd.
This week-long festival aims to mark the somber events that led to the building of the Death Railway in World War II (more on that later). Despite the tragic nature of the history, the festival is still recognizably Thai in its approach, meaning that it’s both entertaining and spectacular.
On each night of the festival, after darkness falls, comes the main attraction of the festival: the sound and light show. A replica of a POW camp is created, and through a combination of impressive and brilliantly choreographed light effects and sounds, the events which befell the bridge are reenacted. In recent years, gun fights and even a boat chase have been included. It’s like watching a Hollywood war movie unfold before your eyes. The whole thing runs for approximately 90 minutes, making it a truly epic spectacle.
