The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre in Kanchanaburi

The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre is the newest of the museums around Kanchanaburi dedicated to the WWII era history of the area. The privately run center houses well-done displays about the history of the construction of the railway, as well as detailed descriptions of the lives of the prisoners who built the line.

The museum has collected a lot of memorabilia from private hands in Australia. The air conditioned building includes a gift shop, coffee shop and research library.

The museum faces the main war cemetery and is open daily 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Admission is 100 Baht (2.60 USD) for adults.
