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.
Hellfire Pass
Hear the stories from the prisoners themselves in the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum. Documentaries will show you a deeper look into how the prisoners lived, and their thoughts as they worked on the railway. After a walk through the museum, you can step into the man made cut through the mountain where countless prisoners lost their lives to the harsh labor.
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.
The Hellfire Pass will be closed on May 6-26, 2024.
