River Kwai

The original bridge on the River Kwai or Kwae, like people in Thailand call it, is long gone, but it is still worth coming here to pay respect to the thousands who died here building the Death Railway and the bridge over the River Kwai. You can take a walk over the updated bridge and get amazing pictures of the passing train.

Death Railway

Built in World War II by prisoners-of-war, Death Railway is famed for its tragic history. By the Bridge on the River Kwai you can hop aboard the train and take a trip down history as you follow the very same path as the prisoners. Travel across the countryside and inch your way along the mountainside to see some of the most beautiful and unique views Thailand has to offer.

JEATH War Museum

The small museum’s focus is on the Prisoners of War and their terrible living conditions and their stories. Opened in 1977, it houses an immense amount of artifacts and memorabilia and is truly a history lover’s heaven. JEATH is an acronym and stands for the countries involved in the creation of the Death Railway, Japan, England, Australia/America, Thailand and Holland.

War Cemetery

Here lay the prisoners-of-war who did not survive the harsh living conditions. 6,982 soldiers are buried here, with most of them being British; the rest being from Australia or Netherlands. If you stand by the entrance, the right-hand side lay the British soldiers. The near left are the Australian soldiers and far left lay the Dutch. All the American soldiers were sent back to their country to rest with their families.
