Death Railway Museum ( Thailand-Burma Railway Centre) - Kanchanaburi - Thailand
This museum certainly gives an excellent insight to what our POW endured in the building of the Thai - Burma railway. There is lots of excellent displays and a lot of photos with good descriptions next to them. The condition of these men who built this railway is hard to believe. The conditions and difficulty in building this railway were certainly tough and I think modern man would struggle with what these soldiers endured. This is certainly a place worth viewing!
???????? Death Railway, Kanchanaburi
Constructed during World War II, the Thailand to Burma railway is also known as the Death Railway. It is said that one man died for every sleeper that was laid on the track. The line was repaired and restored after the war and still runs passenger services as far as Nam Tok to the north of Kanchanaburi with the most famous section of the line being the Bridge over the River Kwai.

The Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway, the Siam–Burma Railway, the Thai–Burma Railway and similar names, was a 415-kilometre (258 mi) railway between Ban Pong, Thailand, and Thanbyuzayat, Burma, built by the Empire of Japan in 1943 to support its forces in the Burma campaign of World War II. This railway completed the rail link between Bangkok, Thailand, and Rangoon, Burma (now Yangon). The name used by the Japanese Government is (Thai–Men-Rensetsu-Tetsudou), which means Thailand-Myanmar-Link-Railway.
The line was closed in 1947, but the section between Nong Pla Duk and Nam Tok was reopened ten years later.
Between 180,000 and 250,000 Southeast Asian civilian labourers (rōmusha) and about 61,000 Allied prisoners of war were subjected to forced labour during its construction. About 90,000 civilian labourers and more than 12,000 Allied prisoners died.
The line was closed in 1947, but the section between Nong Pla Duk and Nam Tok was reopened ten years later in 1957

Riding the Thai Burma Railway ( Death Railway ), Thailand
Taking a ride on the Thai-Burma Railway (aka the Death Railway ) in Thailand you feel like you should reflect on the harrowing history of Japan's 1941 invasion in Thailand, the forced encampment and labor of men to construct the train and the death of over 25,000 Asian labourers and Allied POWs as a result constructing this railway. One would think this was a somber ride.
Instead, it's a bit of a scenic journey through Thai towns and alongside hills.

Thai–Burma Railway Kanchanaburi ⇒ Nam Tok ทางรถไฟสายมรณะ กาญจนบุรี ⇒ น้ำตก
The journey aboard the State Railway of Thailand's Special Weekend Excursion Train No. 909 along the remaining portion of the Thai Burma Railway from Kanchanaburi to Nam Tok. The line is infamous for its construction during WW2 by Japan's military government brutally using Allied prisoners of war to construct the line through dense jungle. Immediately following the war the line was closed but reopened as far as Nam Tok in the 1950's. Today the branch operates as part of SRT's southern line.

Hellfire Pass Museum - The death railway...Kanchanaburi.. Vlog No 120
A Trip to Hellfire Pass Museum - The death railway...Kanchanaburi
======================================================
See an important reminder of World War II at Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum and Walking Trail, commemorating part of the route of the Burma Railway. Known also as the Death Railway, the line was constructed by POWs held by Japanese forces, along with Asian slave-laborers. This particular section was cut through solid rock by Allied prisoners and slaves working under treacherous conditions, with little rest or food. Now a museum, the site allows you to walk through the valley and learn about this tragic period in human history, with a range of exhibits and touching memorials to those that suffered here.

Colin in Thailand โคลินในประเทศไทย
I've lived here since 2011, in a small village. What I am presenting for your viewing is Life, away from the cities, the tourist traps, the bars and easy girls (or ladyboys even), the influences from western culture, like skyscrapers, Macdonalds, and KFC. I bring you the sights and sounds that farangs (which is what Thais call any foreigner) never experience.
After all the time I have lived here, I call them farangs, too. Because my wife and I have become a part of this village, where everybody knows us, and we know everybody.
This is the Real Thailand.

Death Railway, Kanchanaburi, Thailand
The Japanese worked over 100,000 men to death to build it in World War Two. Just walking over the famous River Kwai bridge part , I was very quickly tired and thirsty. It was unbearably hot and humid in May exactly 70 years since they POW's built it.
Many of those taken prisoner, uncluding my uncle, had only just arrived in Singapore. At the end of the war when they were freed most were just skin and bone. They were brought back home on ships which took long slow routes so that the prisoners might be made more human by the time their families saw them again.
Many, like my Uncle Albert, didn't like to talk much about what happened to them and what they saw during that dreadful time, the darkest phase of World War 2, when the Germans and the Japanese occupied a vast area of the globe.
'Railway of Death' - POW Burma-Siam (Thailand) railway
By permission of the Imperial War museum for this project. Silent.
Filmed shortly after the end of World War Two - some of the aftermath of the 258 mile long Burma-Thailand (Siam) railway, constructed by a slave force of POWs and Asian civilians 1942-43. Known as the 'Railway of Death' it claimed the lives of an estimated 16,000 'allied' troops and 90,000 Asian labourers. Working on this railway was the fate of the majority of those captured by the japanese in Singapore, many being sent up on railway cars to Kanburi (now Kanchanaburi) base west of Bangkok, the start of the railway in Thailand (then Siam). This is also near the infamous 'Bridge on the River Kwai.
Starts at Thanbyuzayat railway sidings at the beginning of the Burma section, and here Japanese soldiers unload stores - most likely filmed by a British unit after the end of war. Three British officers of the No 3 Indian Army Graves Registration Unit examine map of railway and later the Japanese soldier seen earlier talks with British officers.
Wooden signs mark graves and one reads 'Allied Cemetery -17 Graves -150 metres'. At the end two of the grave signs read: 'AIF-Driver JL'. Many more must be lost in the jungle.
Death Railway Kanchanaburi Tour to Thai Burma Railway
Death Railway Bridhge Tour . Thai Burma Railway Death Railway Kanchanaburi Thailand .In 1942 Kanchanaburi was under Japanese control. It was here that Asian forced labourers and Allied POWs, building the infamous Burma Railway, constructed a bridge; an event immortalised in the films The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Return from the River Kwai (1989) and The Railway Man (2013). Almost half of the prisoners working on the project died from disease, maltreatment, or accidents.At Kanchanaburi, there is a memorial and two museums to commemorate the dead. In March 2003, the Thailand–Burma Railway Centre opened and the JEATH (Japanese-English-American-Australian-Thai-Holland) War Museum dedicated to the bridge and the Death Railway.The city is also home to the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.The Chong Kai Allies Cemetery is near Kanchanaburi, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Wat Tham Phu Wa.
