Today you will visit the Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and walking trail. This is a joint Australian/Thai project which is dedicated to those Australians and other Allied Prisoners of War and Asian labourers who suffered and died at Hellfire Pass and elsewhere in the Asia Pacific region during WW2. The museum explains to visitors why and how the railway was built and attempts to convey the hardships and suffering endured by so many who were forced to work in extremely harsh conditions. If you are feeling energetic there is also the Memorial Walking Trail, a 2km trail along the now peaceful and serene old railway track. The Trail commences at Hellfire Pass Cutting, and incorporates a number of infamous features along the track, such as Hintok Cutting, the 7 metre Embankment and Three Tier Bridge, plus the panoramic view from Kwae Noi Valley Look-out. Next visit the nearby Weary Dunlop Museum and Jack Chalker Gallery. You will then drive back to Kanchanaburi where you will visit the Chungkai Allied War Cemetery, where almost 2000 POW’s are buried. Also learn of the adjacent Pow Camp and visit the nearby work area of embankments, bridges and cuttings. Continue back to your hotel and enjoy the remainder of your evening at your own leisure.
