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.

'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.

BRIEFING ON THE KANCHANABURI HISTORICAL PLACES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEATH RAILWAY: After entering the Second World War in Dec. 1941, Japanese forces quickly overran most of South East Asia. In 1942, in order to find a shorter and more secure line of supply between Burma (Myanmar) and Siam (Thailand), the Japanese decided to user prisoners of war and civilian labour to build a single line railway to link existing railheads at Thanbyuzayat in the west and Ban Pong in the east. Two forces, one based in Siam and one in Burma, worked from opposite ends of the line, meeting at Konkuita in October 1943. The project cost the lives of approx. 15,000 prisoners of war and 100,000 civilians as a result of sickness, malnutrition, exhaustion and mistreatment.

All the heavy work was done manually either by hand or by elephant. The men worked from dawn until after dark and often had to walk many kilometres through the jungle to return to base camp for getting treatment by Allied doctors. They were subject to extreme violence, torture, physical punishment, humiliation and neglect.

KANCHANABURI WAR CEMETERY contains the remains of 6,982 Australian, Dutch and British war prisoners who lost their lives during the construction of the Death Railway. Another war cemetery about 2 km south of town on the Kwai River that contains 1,740 remains (1,379 British, 313 Netherlands, 42 Malayan & 6 India). It was the site of a base camp, a hospital and a church built by the prisoners themselves.

JEATH WAR MUSEUM inside Wat Chai Chumpion has been constructed in the form of an Allied Prisoner of War camp. The bamboo huts contains photographic, pictorial and few memorabilia dating the World War II. JEATH stands for Japan, England, Austrialia, Thailand and Holland the primary nations which participated in local action.

THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI became internationally famous when it was featured in movies and books. The Bridge River Kwai is a tourist destination. The track is developed into a walkway with side platforms which are useful as viewpoints for the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Every year, River Kwai Bridge Festival is organized to mark the Allied bombing on November 28, 1944. Spectacular light and sound show is the highlight of the festival.

WWII Building Burma's Death Railway - BBC Part 1

The brutal use of British prisoners of war by the Japanese to build a railway linking Thailand to Burma in 1943 was one of the worst atrocities of the Second World War. For the first time in 70 years, British POWs and their Japanese captors, many now in their nineties, open their hearts to tell the story of what really happened on the 'Death Railway'. Alongside the extraordinary experiences and stories of survival told by the British, their Japanese guards tell of different horrors of war, some never disclosed before.

Exploring how they have survived the terrible memories, this is an often inspiring story that many of these men have waited a long time to tell. What emerges is a warm and emotional journey through the lives of men from different sides reflecting on a terrible event that still haunts them.

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.

[Thailand] The Faith of Allied POWs under Japanese Captivity - the Death Railway

In this special episode: the Death Railway (1942 - 1945), sometimes referred to by the Burma Railway or the Siam–Burma Railway. During the Second World War the Japanese used forced labour for constructing a railway from Thailand to Birma. Many westerners (for example soldiers of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army that were captured after the Japanese conquest of the Dutch East Indies) and Asians had to work under inhumane conditions.

World War II POW and Bridge Over the River Kwai History Photos, Kanchanaburi

World War II and JEATH War Museum

Kanchanaburi | JEATH War Museum

Kanchanaburi is a town in west Thailand. It’s known for the Death Railway, built during WWII. The line crosses over the River Khwae Yai via the Death Railway Bridge. Displays at the JEATH War Museum honor the prisoners of war who died building the bridge. The Thailand–Burma Railway Centre explores the wider history of the railway. Nearby, thousands of Allied soldiers are buried at the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.

Known among locals as the Museum - Kanchanaburi [Thailand Travel]

Known among locals as the Museum of Chong Khao Kad, it is a part of the Death Railway that was built cruelly by prisoners of war during the World War II. Hellfire or Chong Khao Kad is spot where the railway needed to cut through the mountain, which was really impossible but the POWs and labors were forced to use hand drills, picks and shovels to carve the rock so that a train could pass. The 500-meter-long pass was incredibly completed in six months in 1943, with many lives were sacrificed. The pass is no longer in use and it becomes the museum to exhibit related tools and photographs about the historical event to remind people the importance of world peace.

Opening hours: Daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission: Free.

Contact: Tel. 08 1814 7564, 08 1754 2098, 0 3453 1347; Fax. 0 3453 1347

Getting there: The site is located in a thick forest near Km. 66 of the Sai Yok-Thong Pha Phum Road (Highway No. 323).

Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum

Thailand Travel Explorer: Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum


The Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum was built and is maintained by the Australian government. The Museum opened in 1998 and is located just above Hellfire Pass (Konyu Cutting) and is dedicated to the Allied prisoners of war and Asian laborers who suffered and died at Hellfire Pass and elsewhere in the Asia Pacific region during World War II.

Hellfire Pass is part of the Thailand–Burma Railway, a 415 kilometers (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. The conditions of the Prisoners and Asian laborers working on the railway were extreme and many died. But the conditions in the Hellfire Pass area were the harshest, with much rock to cut by hand and some explosives. It is estimated that 90,000 of the Asian workers died and 12,621 Allied POWs died during the construction of the railway. The POWs who died included 6,904 British, 2,802 Australians, 2,782 Dutch, and 133 Americans soldiers.

It is reported that as many as 700 prisoners died in the Hellfire Pass area alone. The area was not big but the work was treacherous and physically grueling. Also some 70 prisoners were reported to be beaten to death.
