Death Railway Day-Trip Photos 1/3

I took a day-trip from BKK, booked through the hotel (Majestic Suites) reception to Kanchanaburi,JEATH MUseaum and The Death Railway. Minivan to Kancahnaburi Cemetery, about an hour to wander around the graves and for some people to look up their relatives. Then on to the JEATH Museum for another hour. This is a hut built in the style of the prisoner's hut in the labour camps, filled with rather dusty artifacts and original paintings and sketches by prisoners and collections of photographs and articles on the Death Railway. Then long-tail boat up the Kwai to the bridge.

Kancahnaburi War Cemetery and JEATH Museum
22) Entrance
18) The cemetery
16) Individual plaque - one of the 12,000 memorialized here along with some 80,000 Asians who have no marked graves.
24) JEATH (Japanese, English, Australian/American, Thailand, Holland) Museum - not the best maintained museum.
26) Floating discos on the River Kwai - dozens near the fork in the river between Kanachanburi and the bridge. Apparently popular with Thais, not sure if tourists use them.
