Death Railway Museum and Research Centre

The Thailand-Burma Railway Centre contains two floors of exhibits with artifacts, tools, and photographs documenting the railway construction during World War II.

Between 1942 and 1943, over 60,000 Allied prisoners of war and 200,000 civilian laborers constructed a 415-kilometer railway connecting Thailand with Burma.

The museum serves as a memorial space where families of former prisoners can research their relatives' experiences and connect with their wartime history.

The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours, research assistance, and a café with views of the cemetery.

Rod Beattie, an Australian researcher, maintains extensive records of every prisoner of war who worked on the railway, including their camp locations and medical histories.
