In the 1960s the upper stretch of the river until the town of Kanchanaburi was renamed to Kwae Yai (???????, big tributary), as the famous Bridge on the River Kwai spanned the Mae Klong and not the Kwae (Kwai) river. However the actual origin of the river is in the Khuean Srinagarindra National Park in the north of Kanchanaburi Province.
