Beautiful area, free to explore and take pictures on the bridge and surrounding area. Lots of shops and a museum close by that is open earlier in the day. Train runs in early morning. Night life and restaurants within walking distance are also wonderful. Unique piece of history to remember those who sacrificed and to learn from.

No need to buy ticket. Will be great to visit early in the morning before the crowds passing this old bridge. We can enjoy the river and some boats passing by. You can also visit the temple nearby (go down from the stairs at the end of the bridge) Make sure not to wear slippery sandals.

A replica bridge which is a stirring reminder of a dark time in history. We crossed on the train which was a hot bumpy ride, but worth it. Good views of the countryside and river. You can see remnants from the original bridge

Interesting to visit and a walk through history. There are markets for food and clothing nearby and a 711 too. Walked the Bridge and took some photos. It's free to do so. There's someone always playing music near the entrance.

Historically a iconic river, they still have the old train running, so nostalgic. Come here to see the locals, small shops around with so much cultural. The scenery is splendid!

Good place to visit but very crowded eps during the time train is about to come. Good view and many spot to take photo. And good to see the memorial plate to memorize about the war crime prisoners and how the bridge was built.

Full of history, this is a must stop for many Commonwealth country members. There are a number of tours to get you here, where you can view the bridge above and below, as well as walk across it. You can also ride a replica 1940s train service. The area has a number of facilities, stalls and restaurants to cater to your needs.

Definitely one of the bucket list when visiting Thailand. Full of history. Once in lifetime must take the normal train to reach there. You can walk on the train railway but at own risk, no handrail or any safety features.

The River Khwae Bridge is a historical bridge over the Khwae River in Kanchanaburi. The historical significance is the main reason for visiting this site. For the rest, it's just a bridge, in my opinion. The area around the bridge is nice too, like the Chinese temple, from where you can get a great view of the bridge!

Great food market there Historical bridge with a lot of nice places to take photos The museum is few minutes walking distance, for only 50 baht you can go through a tour of the world war era. Street food is nice on both ends of the bridge. A bit slippery when it rains.

This is such an interesting place to visit with so much history involving the POWs in World War II. We were able to walk over the bridge and then we took the train that still runs for an hour and a half and rode over the bridge on our way back. Don't miss doing this, take a tour when yiu are in Bangkok. We took the Trip Advisor tour and it was well worth the $40 Canadian for a full day tour with a great lunch included.

A truly amazing place to visit. So much history behind this iconic structure, a must see for all who visit Thailand. There are a number of small museums around which I would also recommend, as they are very informative about the bridge and the human sacrifice made during its construction. Also make sure to wait for the train to pass over! A special place to visit and a once in a lifetime experience for sure.

Took the bridge from the train so didn't really see the bridge. It is a unique bridge with rich history. But it's not really worth the time to travel just to visit the bridge. It is best to combine it with other attractions nearby like the nature reserves,etc. Stop at River Kwai Bridge station (one stop after Kanchanaburi Station) if you want to take photos of the bridge. It stops just before crossing the bridge. I made the mistake of taking the train across the bridge and the next station is very far away from the bridge.

This historical bridge is still in use by the local train service. You should come here at the end of the year. There is the Lights and Sounds Festival. Spectacular reenactment of the WW2 history and fireworks will be displayed.

The history of the Kwai Bridge is a remarkable tale of human ingenuity and determination. Constructed during World War II by Allied prisoners of war, it stands as a symbol of resilience and cooperation in the face of adversity. The bridge's significance extends beyond its functional purpose, as it has become a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of unity. The story behind the Kwai Bridge serves as an inspiring reminder of our ability to overcome challenges and create lasting legacies that resonate through time.

Great little stop just for history's sake. You can walk across the bridge. The view is pretty nice. It's a fun little stop for half an hour or so. If you want to eat, there are food shops and a floating restaurant right next to it. The train still runs on this track!! We had a little Stand By Me reenactment on our trip. My daughter was checking the rails, Wonder when the next train comes?🤣 Walking back, we here a train whistle, turn and look, T R A I N ! ! ! 🤣🤣 It runs really slow so no danger, but we kinda laughed about it🥰

This historical bridge is free to enter. You can take 10 mins walk and taking photos with the beautiful view. Then you can enjoy the small market there and eat at nice restaurants along the river.

Interesting to see and to learn a bit about history. Memories coming up from the movie. To walk over the bridge is for free. Nice view over the river. We spend there around 1 hour.

Fantastic bridge at Kanchanaburi. Many tourists, shops and food stalls nearby. It took about 10 mins walk from start to end of this bridge. The train arrived at 2.50pm. The bridge looked solid and stable. Tourists should go there and enjoy a walk on the bridge and nice scenery.

Yes, we'll worth a visit, and catch the train for a further one hour ride up the track that the poor prisoners of war built. The museum is well worth a visit, as is the beautifully maintained cemetery. Recommended for a day trip.

It was fun to stand there and see the train pass through. The train was old and looked like trains in Vietnam. There were many people there to see the train and after that take pictures of the railway, the temple nearby and the river. We spent some time there to take pictures and walk along the railway. After that we found a place where the street vendors sold coconut. We decided to try some. The coconuts were cool, sweet and fresh. The price was cheap.

I am told the train over the bridge stopped 8 years ago. However walking the bridge still felt special. Odd how I only heard the Great Escape music in my mind lol Update/ later saw a diesel train cross the bridge.

Amazing place , impressive bridge that was restored since the bombing during the war , river was clean & we still Managed to get to see the train cross the bridge , something nostalgic . Tips do head down to the banks area fr better shots as I did cos the crowd mostly stayed up there along the tracks .

Kanchanaburi isn't too touristy at the moment. Perfect for people who hate crowds. Having the train moving so close to you is also surreal. Love every moment of it. Recommended places to visit around the vicinity: 1) POW Camp - on the left of the bridge 2) Chinese memorial featuring the TNM Sq masscre - on the right of the bridge

You have seen it in movies and heard it in songs but seeing it live is pretty remarkable. You just can't imagine the words playing in your head, the mixed feelings of both joy and sadness, the ghost bumps keep coming back repeatedly. The distance to travel from Kanchanaburi city centre is about a 20 minute ride away. “This famous Bridge in Thailand, is a historical landmark resembling a true testament of the price we humans paid for war and the resilience that stands before us is the human foundation of true brotherly love. This World War II prisoners contribution is also recorded an Asian forced labor construction under the Japanese occupation, this bridge signified a symbol of both suffering and triumph. Visiting the bridge evokes a sense of solemnity and reflection, as one walks across the historic structure that stands as a reminder of the sacrifices made. Its picturesque surrounding amidst the sight of a beautiful river adds excitement and fond memories, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.” ,........................ Appreciate a Like, if you like my review. Thanks 🙏

Very modest and well done. It is both very well kept and subdued. I went and found Chaplain Alexander Dean's grave although the sign at the front did not indicate anything that stood out about him. Well worth walking through for a half hour and letting the names and significance of the cemetery wash over you.

The cemetery is well maintained ... at least it was when we stopped by: watering and weeding. Incredible reminder of just some of the lives lost during that brutal campaign. Suggest you combine with a trip to the Death Railway Museum across the street if you want to learn more about what these people experienced.

RIP 🪦. Next to city road and death railway museum. You can pay respect to the deceased. And nice location if you want a landscape pics.

A good reminder that Tham Krasae Railway Bridge and River Khwae Bridge are not just some random tourist attractions. A lot of people died here after forced labor during WW2. May want to combine this with the JEATH war museum.

A beautiful monument paying respects to the POW during ww2. Heartbreaking to see how young they were and the messages on their graves from their loved ones.

Very historic cemetery. It's unfortunate those people had to die the way they did.

The last resting place of 6982 Australian, British and Dutch Prisoners of War who perished while constructing the Burma Railway, also known as Death Railway, under extreme duress during WWII. Imperial Army of Japan treated the POWs inhumanly leading to 16000 deaths. POWs were given only 600 calories of food everyday and had to work 12 hours daily living in sub-human conditions. Commonwealth War Graves Commission owns and maintains the cemetery 1939 - 1945 The citation at the entrance reads - " IN HONOURED REMEMBRANCE OF THE FORTITUDE AND SACRIFICE OF THAT VALIANT COMPANY WHO PERISHED WHILE BUILDING THE RAILWAY FROM THAILAND TO BURMA DURING THEIR LONG CAPTIVITY..... "

Nice place to visit, only 5 minutes from Kanchanaburi train station. Free entry, should go on weekday, because of a few tourists.

On our day tour we went at first to this cemetery. This is a clean place at the main road, nothing to see then tombstones. Only interesting for visitors which have relatives their. I can't recommend the stop their.

💢 This cementry is well maintained & is a part of the remembrance of the damaged that have been done. Located opposite with Thailand Burma Railway Center.

This was definitely a place worth visiting. I went with a friend who's grandfather was in WWII and it had a definite meaning for him. Seeing a place where so many have sacrificed for others leaves a lasting impression. The place itself was beautifully built and decorated.

Visited yesterday remembrance Service, by the RBL with Veteran's and guests in attendance. Grounds are well kept, "we will remember them".

Beautiful WW2 Cemetary next to Death Railway Museum. Next to Chinese Cemetary

This well maintained war cemetery has the graves of martyrs of World War II and some workers that were died during the construction of railway. Around 5000 Graves are there. This graveyard is located very near to the Kanchanaburi railway station

This is another major attraction in the kanchanburi area . In this area there are graveyard of the people died in making the death railway . There is all together 5000 people's graveyard . You can see the in the graveyard stone that most of the people died before the age 35 in making this railway . Most of them are forced labourer from India, Malaya, British, Dutch and chines .

Very humbling museum with lots of personal items of soldiers too. A good short film running with accounts from survivors. Crowd of noisy schoolchildren in there, but we tried to blank them out, being grateful they were being taught about the horrors inflicted by the Japanese. Free coffee token for the cafe upstairs, but we didn't realise we'd been given a token till we got home!

A small yet incredibly informative museum that goes into great detail about the Thailand-Burma Railway that was constructed during the Second World War. One of the best museums that I have visited and the amount of real items from the railway is amazing. All of the text throughout the museum was easy to understand yet provided a lot of information. I definitely left feeling much more knowledgeable about this small piece of history. For anyone who wishes to visit the Bridge on the River Kwai itself, I cannot recommend this museum enough as it provides a truly great insight into the railway, its history, its construction and the human sacrifices made when it was built.

A must for history buffs. I never personally understood what actually happened.. but this museum represented all points of history from this time with dignity and respect for the suffering and will to survive.. perhaps also the worst and best of humanity. Entrance fee is a 150THB including a free tea or coffee in the coffee shop upstairs. The Coffee shop offers a quiet view over the cemetery.

It was a wonderful museum with a great variety of displays to make the visit engaging for both children and adults. The content was, of course, a bit gruesome since it was about the horrid part of WWII history but sobering to realise how much suffering PoWs had to endure. The museum is also right next to a cemetery so the visitors could understand the cause and the effects of the war immediately. For us Thais, it was an eye opener that so many foreigners suffered here in Thailand but good to know that the Thais were at least hospitable to them. Personnally I could visit more than once to read more in details.

This is by far one of the best museums on WW 2 in Kanchanaburi regarding the construction of the death railway. It tells you the story from the beginning of why the Japanese Imperial Army wanted to build this railway in their effort to fight against the Allied forces, how it was done and what happened along the way before they lost the war after the Atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The content is well done, well laid out, well maintained and well organized. After the museum, you can also visit the War Memorial cemetery nearby. Please spare at least 1 hour for this museum.

To get a picture of one of Thailand's dark history of recent, it would be recommended to go to the Death Railway museum. Yes, it sounds morbid, because it is. This took place during WWII and tells the story of prisoners of war and Asian forced laborers to build a railway from Thailand to Burma for the Japanese. The Japanse at the time had ambitions of taking over India and needed a way to get supplies and troops there. It's a grim tale of POWs worked to death, building a railway that was estimated to take 5 years in 16 months. It costs 160 baht per person to enter and you get a free tea or coffee at their coffee shop. It overlooks a cemetery dedicated to the veterans that died working on the railway. Anyways, it's good to learn some of the history that helped shape how we are today. Enjoy!

A well coordinated museum explaining a hard and sensitive subject. The displays are well thought out, from the reason, inception, till the end of the death railway. There are a lot of actual relics displayed with interesting diorama. Tickets are affordable at 160 baht. It includes a free coffee. Parking is just opposite the museum.

Very well presented and highly informative museum detailing the construction of the Thai Burma railroad during WW2 documenting the challenges & suffering endured by the POWs & civilians involved. A very moving tribute. Highly recommended.

I appreciate this museum. Well organized and explained, easy to follow, lots to learn, for young and old. Only handful ppl there. Provided in English and Thai language. Coffee/tea included in the ticket. War Memorial Cemetery view from upstairs. Take the time to read the stories, watch the videos. You will witness the best and the worst of our humanity. I spent 2 hrs there, but I read everything.

Very, very important that you visit this Museum, had to work very hard to stop myself from crying in Public. The Museum is not too long and not too short, it basically gives you a bit of everything from the history to personal stories to displays to explain more. Definately a must see to make you think and reflect.

I felt sorry for the many sacrifices. However, it is unfortunate that the information about Koreans being forcibly conscripted is omitted. The Japanese and Koreans were recognized as the same enemy. At that time, Korea was under colonial rule and no one liked Japan. The country was forcibly taken over by Japan for 36 years.

The place is right opposite the memorial cemetery for the POW lost building the Burma railway. An educational and historical centre for those with connection to the building of the bridge during WWII

Impactful I highly recommend coordinating a visit to Hell Fire Pass in conjunction with the Death Railway Museum and the Memorial Cemetery. The Memorial Cemetery is across the street from the Death Railway Museum.

Fantastic, haunting museum. It’s fairly little but very dense. My friends and I read practically every plaque in the place. The history is fascinating and the exhibits are concise and impactful. I highly recommend you visit this moving museum.

Very confronting & educational. The challenges & pain our soldiers & Asian workers went through to build the railway line from Burma to Thailand is epic. Let us not Forget. Well worth the visit, you will not regret it.

It's a place someone must visit to see how Thailand to Burma railway was built and so we don't forget what's the impact of a war and the death toll.

念願のアルヒル桟橋へ9月の日曜日に訪れました。 歴史背景や注意点は、みなさまが記されているのも参考にしました。 Thonburi駅を7:45発車したが、途中駅で10分程停車しTham Kurasae駅は12:02に到着しました。 Tham kurasae Bridge駅に停車するも下車はできませんでした。 この辺りでGrabでタクシーは来ないようなので帰りの電車時間は気をつけて下さい。 (Translated by Google) I visited Al Hill Pier on a Sunday in September. I also referred to the historical background and points to note that everyone has written. The train departed from Thonburi Station at 7:45, but stopped at several stations along the way for about 10 minutes, arriving at Tham Kurasae Station at 12:02. The train stopped at Tham kurasae Bridge station, but I was unable to get off. Grab taxis don't seem to come around here, so be careful about the train time on your way home.

Reach there around 4 to 5pm. Not much people around and the shops are closing. But it's the golden hour to be there had the place to ourselves and can take photos without disturbance and even get to see the train passing by. Definitely worth the drive there. We park at the thamkrasae station side just a short walk to the bridge and the cave.

If you like history, this place is a live museum. You can walk on or under the railway to see how hard this railway can be built in just around 2 weeks-time. Please be careful while walking on the railway.

Arrived here after the last train passed for sometime, so the whole place seems deserted. It feels serene, and peaceful, oblivious to the hardships and numerous deaths that took the POW and Romusha to built it. Some tracks are new, while most hugging the cliffs are still original. The sleepers tells the difference. There's no safety railing along the tracks so walking along it is a risk every one takes on their own, which I prefer it that way to preserve its originality. After visiting the Death Railway Museum followed by visiting this tracks in person gives me a real sense of respect yet sorrow for the fallen people who were forced to built it. An impossible task made possible, albeit hundred of thousands of sacrificed. A must visit if you are at Kanchanaburi. One bucket list of mine..... cleared.

Great Spot and and Historical Railway Line built on the edge of the River Kwai famously known as THE DEATH RAILWAY. We can walk thru some distance on the railway track to enjoy the beauty of the Historical Railway. There is small station with local vendors selling snacks and water.

The well known Railway Bridge near the river Kwai, part of the Siam-Burma historic railway. Started during the Japanese army occupation of Indochina during WW2. Due to many forced labourers who died during its construction, the line is known as the death railway. Be sure to visit this plade, very scenic !

Great scenery with a historic railway above the river. You can enter this part of the railway from both Suan Sai Yok Resort and a market side. The first one is recommended because you can take a walk along the rails to see natural and man-made landscape for awhile. In the late morning, a train will approach this route at 11.00 a.m. and you could take a picture with a train at the sidewalk safely.

A historic landmark worth visiting and appreciating. The train ride was quite an experience too. It was boiling when I visited in May, highly suggest visiting at cooler months!

An interesting place to learn about the history of the railway and see the difficult sections that were built.

Took the railway here. According to the tour guide, this is one of the recommend pit stops to take the railway. Nice scenic views, and there’s a small cave nearby. Do try to wear proper shoes though! I was unaware and showed up in slippers - not the best footwear for the tracks.

Just this part of the railway is worth a visit, but don't wait too long, the Thai railways are doing a renovation and I fear they are replacing all the wood with concrete. If that happens, it is finished as a tourist attraction. Take a walk on the track, but be ready to step aside when the train comes. It drives quite slowly, and the horn is honked in good time.

This small museum contains some interesting things, which are not always well promoted. The explanations are succinct and the English translations are sometimes approximate. The museum can be done quickly in 15 minutes, but you'll need more time to look in more detail.

Compared to the other Railway Museum (at half the price) in town this one is so much better. More "stuff" (see pictures) to see including WW2 propaganda printing presses, rail cars, pictures, motorcycles, etc. Not meant to be the British War Museum. Well worth a look if you are roaming around the bridge area. (I'm guessing Jeath is just a mistranslation of Death or just to distinguish it from the other Death museum).

Bit of a haphazard museum, but overall the exhibits are interesting. The subject is of course sobering. In combination with the Death Railway Museum and Hellfire Pass, this works well. Pleased I visited the others first.

For me an awesome place especially if you are a keen observer. Dozens of items related to the World War 2 era. Most items on display are that old. Probably not perfectly cataloged and labelled but very interesting all the same. Near the parking lot of the Bridge Over The River Khwae. A modest 50 baht entry fee at the time of writing this review. The engine that transported ammunition for the Japanese is right at the entrance - really takes you back to that time. Many other items, that are no longer manufactured. You should see this place it is on 2 floors, make sure that you walk through all that space.

Not in good shape. But to pass the history to next generation this is the only option. Old bikes.war heads (of course used ones), pocket watches , old notes, coins, car, train with track etc . Separate liquor 🥃 and smoke packets that were used at that time of 1942 by japanees/thai/prisoners/etc

A bewildering collection of objects many relating to the Japanese occupation, and the cruelty to prisoners of war. Additionally there are potted histories of the world leaders of the time, and some fine statues of former rulers of Siam. Many grainy old photographs, part of the old wooden bridge, free toilets I didn't have time to visit it all, but on a previous occasion I went to another part, and they had a tribute to the Miss Thailand beauty competitions. Finally a splendid view of the river, and the bridge

To be honest this Museum was a little disappointing. With is being right next to the River Kwae Bridge, I expected it to be a lot more informative on the history of the bridge and the area. Instead it was just artefacts, vehicles and stuff on display from WW2. No information at all really, unless we missed it. They did have the old wooden bridge there though which was cool to see and a great view of the bridge!

The 2nd stop on our day tour was at this museum. Entrance fee is 50 THB each person. That museum is absolutely in terrible condition and is not recommendable to waist time at this place. In addition an animal shelter is placed underneath the museum which creates very bad smell.

A great new themed restaurant/bar in Bali. Good food, great atmosphere and if that's not enough jump on the mechanical bull for a lot of laughs and a few yeeehaaaaa's

Save your $. Old & minimal artifacts. History errors in many of their transcripts on walls. Hot AF, no AC. Don’t do it!

Private collection during Pacific war WWII time. And it was the location of the first River Kwai bridge which was bombed by the Allies.

Mist visit place when going to Bridge over the River Kwai, history must not be forgotten

A small museum, good to visit neaby the river khwae bridge. Takes about 5-10 minutes to go through. You can find news articles, photo's and more showing the conditions in which the captives had to work on the bridge. Note, the actual museum is more to the south.

Really accessible museum, a lot of large visual items which made it easy to take in information. Also quite quick to go round and you can see the bridge from it too. I recommend going to the Thailand Burma death railway museum for more information.

It's a small museum in a former prisoner of war camp. It's a 15min look around, usually visited on the way to the infamous Bridge over the river Kwai. It's probably not worth a visit to this alone. It's cheap, and tour guides will take you through it in detail. It reinforces the horrific conditions the prisoners endured.

Many relics from the WWII era. There is not a lot of structure and the history given in the plaques around the exhibits is lacking. There are a lot of interesting relics from that era and the admission price is very reasonable. I would not rate it high from a lesson on history standpoint, but relics contained make the visit worthwhile.
