This 300-meter-long railway bridge is a symbol that represents the efforts of those who toiled under the construction of the bridge. The middle of the bridge was bombed by enemies under World War II in 1945 and was rebuilt after the war. A mini train runs regular trips across the bridge from the nearby train station. Once you have crossed the bridge you can enjoy the cafés and the green areas at the water's edge.

On the other side of Kanchanaburi's train station you will find Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, a well-kept cemetery with no less than 100,000 dead who lost their lives during the construction of the railway. Half were British, the rest were mainly Australians and Dutch

This museum is dedicated to the history of the Thailand-Burma Railway (The Death Railway) and is located just across from the Allied War Cemetery. The museum describes Kanchanaburi's role in World War II. It tells the story of the railroad, how prisoners were treated, and what happened after the railroad was completed, using video recordings, models, and detailed signs.
