Sound and Light, the River Khwae 2025

-

 Part 2 of the Rick the Baconator in Thailand and we are in Kanchanaburi.

In this video we are at the famous "Sound and Light Show" held annually at the site of the bridge made famous in the film "The Bridge on the River Kwai.

This year the show was quite different as it took place in the official mourning period following the death of HRH the Queen Mother, it featured a large section of cultural dance and performance and a reduced wartime scene with much reduced pyrotechnics.

Getting a vantage point to video the show is not easy for a non accredited person and editing the resultant video down after is even more difficult.

But here is my effort, just over 17 minutes of it.

Huai Mae On. So I saddled up and sped down the road... (Come on which of you started to hum "funky moped", ok here it is to put you out of your misery) Once there and parked up I set out, in the heat and as I do, I took a snap or two; At the start; And the fishermen art the other end of the dam; After the floods the river has been cleared and the road improved; My objective, the waterfall; Rice field on the way back; B...

 As some of you may know, I have just returned from Japan. I bet you can imagine how many snaps and videos I have taken which, as well as the trip to the Philippines in late February My step daughters graduation And my sisters visit Has meant that very few videos, blogs and vlogs have been done for more than a month. Not only that, it is Songkran this weekend so there will be an even bigger backlog by next week. All this has led me to try and knock together at least a little taster of the Japan trip. It's done hastily but, it is done. Here we go.
