Although set in Thailand, it was actually filmed in Sri Lanka, with the Kitulgala Bridge playing a significant role in the story.
While in Kitulgala, consider the option to go white water rafting. The rafting lasts a maximum of 1.5 hours, and you have a choice of gentle or wild water (grade III rapids), depending on your preference. (Please note, due to water levels rafting may not always be possible.)
