Hellfire Pass, Military museum and railway cutting memorial in Kanchanaburi, Thailand.
The Hellfire Pass features a 75-meter-long and 25-meter-deep railway cutting through solid rock, with steep walls displaying commemorative flower wreaths and photographs.
During World War II, over 250,000 Southeast Asian civilians and 12,000 Allied soldiers constructed this section of the Burma Railway under extreme conditions.
The memorial museum preserves artifacts, documents, and recorded testimonies from survivors, presenting the experiences of those who worked on the railway construction.
The site opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering free admission and audio guides available for a refundable deposit of $5.75.
The name originates from the nocturnal work scenes where torchlight illuminated exhausted laborers, creating shadows that resembled visions of the underworld.
