Definitely worth a visit. And made better by coming on the train from Bridge over the River Kwai.
A moving worthwhile experience.
We visited from Kanchanaburi.
We rode by train along the railway to the end of the line. The train journey added to the experience – although on the way back it was hot and dusty. Here we grabbed some breakfast at a local restaurant at the train station. There was a taxi to take us the 25 mins to Hellfire pass (THB 800 return journey, we joined with another couple at the station)
We walked the longer walk and enjoyed the free audio It was a beautiful walk and very moving. The path was well maintained and informative.
The museum was well maintained by the Australians and its a humbling experience.
It was exceptionally hot when we were there – so we caught the 6.15 train at The Bridge and the 13.55 return train. We arrived at the museum about 9. So it was cool and lovely and quiet on our walk. Knowing some of the history we opted to walk first, and visit the museum after. The audio and signs offered plenty of information.
