THE DEATH RAILWAY to HELLFIRE PASS! Kanchanaburi to Nam Tok 🇹🇭 Thailand Travel Vlog

In today's Thailand travel vlog, we start the day by riding the Death Railway to Hellfire Pass to learn more about the tragic events that transpired during the Japanese occupation of Thailand during World War II.
Along the way, we took in the beautiful sights of the River Kwai and the surrounding cliffs at the Wang Po Viaduct before finally arriving in Nam Tok.
We spent hours exploring the Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and walking along the Memorial Trail before hitchhiking back to the train station to catch our train back to Kanchanaburi.
We highly recommend visiting The Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and Memorial Walkway, which honors the Australian, British, Dutch, and American prisoners of war and thousands of Asian laborers forced to work for the Japanese to construct the Thailand-Burma Railway during World War II. You can listen to the accompanying audioguide here to learn more: bit.ly/hellfirepass.

    It was sad memorial of Greater East Asia War (WW II). The story was true that one railway sleeper cost one of either hiring labor or prisoner of war's life due to lack of food but Malaria was the biggest problem that time. Same as path of journey between Saraburi & Korat in the past. Henri Mouhot, French explorer who found Angkor Wat (Siam colony before French occupation) had described in 1861 as "The Gate Of Hell" cause 9 out of 10 could not get through and died in the jungle. Today we're safe cause scary mosquito is washed away by global warming and medical science.

    Hi, Mike & Ashley. I love this! May I ask if there are buses from Hellfire Pass going to Nam Tok station, and from Nam Tok Station going to Kanchanaburi center around 3 in the afternoon? I am planning to go there on the 28th of August (the train arrives in Kanchanaburi at around 12PM and am heading directly to Hellfire, I wonder if there are any transpo going back) Thank you :)

    There is a bus that will go from Hellfire Pass back near by Nam Tok station. It’s the same bus we took. You’ll have to plan it well, as it’s a little tight and the schedule is a little inconsistent. The bus pickup location is right in front of the entrance to Hellfire and it will drop you off across the street from Sai Yok Waterfall. As far as back into Kanchanaburi, I’m not 100% sure about a bus as we took the train, but you could ask the bus if they go that far. It’s possible! We hope you enjoy your trip. ☺️
