JEATH War Museum

The JEATH War Museum contains two main sections, with one displaying authentic prisoner quarters and another housing reconstructed bamboo huts with historical artifacts.

Founded in 1977 by the chief abbot of Wat Chaichumpol, this museum documents the construction of the Thai-Burma Railway by Allied prisoners during World War II.

The museum's name represents the nationalities involved in building the railway: Japanese, English, Australian, American, Thai, and Dutch forces and prisoners.

Located at the meeting point of Khwae Yai and Khwae Noi rivers, the museum operates daily from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM with free admission.

The exhibition features original paintings, photographs, and personal belongings of former prisoners who worked on the Death Railway under Japanese direction.
