Sawasdee Kha The Kwai is a river in the wild west of . The river actually consists of two rivers, the Mae Nam Khwae Yai (แม่นํ้าแควใหญ่) and the Mae Nam Khwae Noi (แควน้อย). The source of the Khwae Yai lies in the Tenasserim Mountains in Buma and flows on the Thai side through the province of Kan- chanaburi, through the cities of Sangkhla Buri to the oldest city in Thailand, Mueang Kanchanaburi. The Khwae Noi orig- inates from the Khao Laem reservoir near Sangkhla Buri and flows to Mueang Kanchanaburi. There the two rivers unite and form the Mae Klong (แม่นํ้าแม่กลอง).

Restaurant River Kwai | Böblinger Straße 46 • 70199 Stuttgart | 0711/16018814 | www.river-kwai.eu 01 The Kwai has achieved world fame through the novel Die The Bridge on the Kwai and its film adaptation. The steel bridge is a popular travel destination for foreign as well as Thai tour- ists.

During the Second World War, the Japanese forced prison- ers of war to build a wooden bridge. A second parallel bridge made of concrete and steel was built after further materi- al arrived from Japan. The construction of the bridges was part of the preparation for a Japanese attack on British In- dia during World War II. One of these preparations was the notorious Death Railway (ทางรถไฟสายมรณะ, Thang Rotfai Sai Marana). Today it is part of the Thailand-Burma railway and extends along the Khwae Noi in Thailand.

The Erawan waterfall is also beautiful. It is considered the most beautiful waterfall in Thailand and flows impressively in seven cascades over the rocks in the Khwae Yai.

The Kwai is the lifeline of people in the wild west of Thailand. People live with the river and on the river. This can already be seen in Thailand’s original cuisine. The kitchen of Thailand has always been dominated by water, mainly aquatic animals and aquatic plants were served on the table. It is therefore not surprising that the Kwai created a particularly rich and popular .

The River Kwai restaurant is known for this unique and au- thentic cuisine from the wild west of Thailand. Our recipes reflect the culinary melting pot in this border region of Mon, Burmese and Thai culture. If you are enthusiastic about the culture and cuisine from the wild west of Thailand, we will certainly not disappoint you.
