“Time”

The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre is an interactive museum, information and research facility dedicated to presenting the history of the Thailand-Burma Railway. You can also visit the Death Railway Museum – Thanbyuzayat and the Thanbyuzayat World War II Cemetery.

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.

Two extraordinary films based on the Burma Railway. “The Bridge on the River Kwai” is a 1957 British-American epic war film directed by David Lean. “The Railway Man” tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax, a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labour camp during World War II.
