During this #RemembranceDay period, we commemorate those who lost and suffered from war and conflicts including those involved in the construction of the #BurmaThaiRailway . This is also a great opportunity for our new interns to learn more about this important occasion.
Visiting #HellfirePass and our walking trail in the morning remains the best time of day to come as temperature is cooler with less crowd. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended. #Kanchanaburi #BurmaThaiRailway
Along our walking trail, visitors can still see old tools used during construction of the #BurmaThaiRailway . Hand tools and dynamite were used by the Prisoners of War to excavate rocks and making cuttings.
