HELLFIRE PASS ...

If you're planning in a visit to Thailand, hit the road to Kanchanaburi Province. It is about 4 hours away from the capital and if you skip the heavy traffic, it will take you lesser hours to arrive. If you are not familiar with the place, local travel agent can take you there for a promising price--it is always wise to scan through a few travel agency for the best package.

Kanchanaburi, is about a few hours to their neighboring country Myanmar. With its history that really hurts the soul of those who were there during the Japanese era in Thailand, Kanchanaburi plays a role of reminding those who had served as Prisoner Of War (POW).
Death railway

The railway which was an important route from Thailand to Burma for the Japanese at that time was build with full-force. The story behind this could be found in the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum and the Death Museum located in and out the city.
