Relive the tragic history of war and forced captivity in Kanchanaburi with a day tour that takes you back to the sorrowful history of World War II along the historic Death Railway, witnessing the injustice and torture inflicted on prisoners of war.
Beginning your historical journey at the Death Railway Cemetery and Museum, learn about the hardships and watch videos about what prisoners of war faced during World War II. Then, visit the famous Bridge over the River Kwai before taking a short train ride along the Death Railway, through lush forests, sheer cliffs, and a wooden bridge built into a hillside for trains to pass through, near Tham Krasae Cave, a resting and medical center for wounded and sick soldiers. Afterwards, enjoy an international buffet lunch before heading to Hellfire Pass, one of the most powerful historical sites in Thailand, built during World War II using the labor of hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war and Asian civilians.
