Kanchanaburi is worth visiting just to see the famous bridge over the River Kwai, part of the Death Railway linking Thailand with Burma during World War II. Another attraction is the JEATH War Museum (short for Japan, England, Australia, Thailand and Holland) where displays depict the POWs' suffering. The nearby War Cemeteries contain the remains of 6,982 Allied prisoners who died during the construction of the railway. The surrounding area is spectacular, with its beautiful natural attractions, waterfalls, flora and fauna. It is accessible by bus or by train. Admission: Free for Bridge and cemeteries. Small fee is charged for visiting the JEATH Museum.
