ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Thailand-Burma Railway Museum (Thailand - Burma Railway Center or Death Railway Museum). Among all the museums, Kanchanaburi is perhaps the most well-groomed and modern. It is dedicated to the history of the Second World War on the land of Thailand and the construction of the railway and bridge by prisoners of war. There are a number of artifacts in the museum's collection, but the main part of the exhibition consists of interactive exhibits, films, documents, photographs and information stands. If you like museums where you can just inspect the exhibits, you won't be very interested here, because you need to read or listen to everything. If you are ready to take the time and are ready to read the descriptions of events on the information stands in English, then the museum should definitely be visited. Unfortunately, there is nothing to do here without a good knowledge of English.
