Spend the day out of town – but nearby – with an interesting stop for lunch.
The historic Bridge on the River Kwai & Hellfire Pass, is a tour that will connect you to the history of Thailand. Here, you can learn more about the classic film, and Thailand’s role during WWII.
Australia established a Memorial at Hellfire pass, dedicated to the Aussie’s who were tortured and died, then buried in the cemetery nearby.

Hardly noticed are the hundreds of thousands of Thai people who were brutally tortured by the Japanese military, used as slaves, murdered, then cremated, as is the Buddhist custom.
