Museum This museum, located near the River Kwai Bridge,
displays the collection of weapons, tools and utensils of the

The Death Railway (known also as Burma Railway or Burma Thai
Railway) was a railway built from Thailand to Burma (now Myanmar) by the
Japanese during World War II to complete the route from Bangkok to Rangoon
and support the Japanese occupation of Burma. It was so called because of
the human cost of its construction. About 100,000 conscripted Asian
labourers and 16,000 Allied prisoners of war (POW) died on the project
made up of 6,318 British, 2,815 Australians, 2,490 Dutch and the remainder
from the USA or unknown (Wigmore, p588).
