Description

Take a journey from Bangkok to the province of Kanchanaburi, a place of stunning natural beauty that is also home to a dark history. Visit the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, the Death Railway, and the Bridge over the River Kwai. Start your tour in Bangkok and take a journey to Hellfire Pass, a dramatic section of the railway that was literally cut through a mountain. Explore the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, which tells the stories of human suffering linked to this engineering feat. Continue to Namtok Station and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant nearby before taking the train along the historic 'Death Railway,' a legacy of World War II originally built by Allied prisoners of war. The Death Railway is named for the thousands of prisoners who lost their lives constructing this link between Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). The railway runs across the Tham Krasae wooden viaduct, which skirts a cliff above Khwae Noi River and crosses the famous Bridge over the River Kwai. Visit the Thailand-Burma Railway Museum and War Cemetery, home to the remains of those who perished during the railway's construction, before returning to Bangkok.
