JEATH War Museum

I’d like to share with you our visit to the JEATH War Museum in Kanchanaburi, last Sunday, We went on a group tour with friends and acquaintances. It took us 3 1/2 hours to travel by van. It was my first time to visit there. Someone advised me to watch the movie about "The Railway Man", which is a true-to-life story of one of the prisoners of  WWII in Kanchanaburi. It's very horrific and I could feel the gravity of suffering inside the museum.

    

The acronym JEATH stands for Japanese, English, Australian, American, Thai, and Holland, the primary nationalities involved in the construction of the Death Railway (also known as the Thai-Burma Railway) which was built in 1942

It was just after the Japanese invasion that the war museum was founded (1977) by Chaichumpol Temple’s chief abbot. It is located just near the temple grounds.  The Thai name is Phíphítháphan Songkhram Wát Tâi (Wat Tai War Museum) also known as the JEATH War Museum located in Mueang Kanchanaburi District.


JEATH War Museum is indeed a heart-breaking memorial for the people who were part of World War 2. Kanchanaburi is the only place in Thailand where prisoners of  WW2 had taken place. So 
if you're already in Kanchanaburi, you must try to visit here.
