The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand

4.5 (1.473 reviews) Monday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent Ranking #2 in Kanchanaburi Speciality Museums

Excellent museum and outstanding tour

The museum provides the most researched and comprehensive information about the Death Railway and the POW camps with excellent displays including a range of memorabilia from POWs. The centre also provided us with a 4 day tour of the railway as far as the Three Pagodas on the Myanmar border. The tour was personalised to cover all the camps and sections where my father was a POW with extensive information on all the places we visited. Sincere thanks to the team at TBRC who provide such an outstanding service in sharing their wealth of knowledge with visitors and for keeping the memory of all the POWs alive.

We close this over the Jeath museum based on poor TripAdvisor reviews. We were glad we came here
Pleasant greeting on arrival, good value (160 bht), very informative with great exhibits and models. It’s an horrific story and one that I am sure any Japanese will still today be deeply ashamed of. But it needs to be told. And this museum tells that story well through why it was build, the scale and scope of construction challenges, the forced labour, false promises, total lack of care and compassion for workers, the sorry list goes on.

Educational experience
Visiting the museum with my friends, we were able to learn alot of information on the POWs when building the Death Railway, along with their hardships and sufferings during the japanese occupation. Being SEAsian, we learnt things we did not learn in history textbooks back in our country and being able to read in-depth information on the POWs experience and the conditions they had to deal with back then was an educational experience. The whole museum with numerous artefacts and articles from the POWs were really informative. Overall, I enjoyed the museum and would recommend it to those who like learning more about history.
