Known as the Burma Railway, the Burma-Thailand Railway or the Death Railway, it was built by prisoners of war during WWII. One of the bridges was featured in the book and then the film, "Bridge over the River Kwai". The postcard shows the dangerous curve at Kanchanaburi, just beyond the bridge.
It has been so many years since I saw that movie. It is time to order it again.
