Sai Yok National Park & Erawan National Park are unforgettable. I love this city. I used to work as sell representative. I've been there every month. Accomodation started from 300 baht. Attractive view at Deadly Bridge. And Don't worry nightlife aroun thier.

The Topic of this discussion reminds me of "The Bridge on the River Kwai", a 1957 British World War II film by David Lean, based on The Bridge over the River Kwai by French writer Pierre Boulle. The film is a work of fiction but borrows the construction of the Burma Railway in 1942–43 for its historical setting. It stars William Holden, Jack Hawkins, Alec Guinness and Sessue Hayakawa. The film was filmed in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The bridge in the film was located near Kitulgala.

The bridge is one of the hottest tourist attractions of Thailand. However the place itself is small, just a bridge with a war museum to the side. You can also take the train ride which lasts about 1 odd hours. The bridge is located in Kanchanaburi, however I do think that the place has more interesting options to offer, especially the Erawan waterfalls which are 7 waterfalls one on top of another. A beautiful place for just relaxing and you can spend the entire day there.
