Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre
This is a part of the Death Railway that was constructed during the Second World War using POW labor to cut through the mountain.
Known among locals as the Museum of Chong Khao Kad, it is a part of the Death Railway that was built cruelly by prisoners of war during the World War II. Hellfire or Chong Khao Kad is spot where the railway needed to cut through the mountain, which was really impossible but the POWs and labors were forced to use hand drills, picks and shovels to carve the rock so that a train could pass. The 500-meter-long pass was incredibly completed in six months in 1943, with many lives were sacrificed. The pass is no longer in use and it becomes the museum to exhibit related tools and photographs about the historical event to remind people the importance of world peace.
Tham Krasae Death Railway Bridge
Krasae Cave was once where POWs rest as it's located right next to the Death Railway. It is now a popular spot for visitors who take a walk on the railway and would stop by to pray toward a Buddha image enshrined within the cave
The Death Railway has a long history since the Second World War,beginning at Nong Pladuk Station to Thanbyusayat in Burma. The railway construction began with death because they had to rush to construct. There were obstacles such as diseases, illnesses, weathers, food, shelter, suffered living and hard work which has been entitled as "the Death Railway"
Dangerous curve railway bridge or Krasae cave bridge is the railway along the Khwae river, Sai YOK District. The railway construction around this area was difficult because it has been surrounded with steep mountains and bordered by the Khwae Noi river which is the 400-meter long through mountains and about 10 meters higher than the river.During constructing, 2000 captives, foreign alborens and Thai workers had to use a rope to tie their Waist and hung down to extract stones to make railroad tracks along the cliff for using hardwood to support stability. The structure eas made entirely of wood. The foundation pier was made from a large piece of hardwood without using any wood joints support the train weight. It was incredibly finished constructing in only 17 days.
The time for laying of the rail was limited and urgent. As result, When first train journey launched, the Japanese train fell into the Khwae Noi river caused thost who traveled by that journey died. If we count all of dead man combine with all captives, foreign laborers and Thai workers, we would imply that "One life of them exchanged to one Railway sleeper”
