The town of Kanchanaburi was originally established by Rama I as a first line of defense against the Burmese, who used the old invasion route through the Three Pagodas Pass on the Thailand-Myanmar border.

During WWII, the Japanese occupation used allied prisoners of war to build the infamous Death Railway along this same invasion route, in reverse, along the Kwae Noi River to the pass. Thousands of prisoners died as a result of brutal treatment by their captors, their experiences chronicled by Pierre Boulle in his book The Bridge over the River Kwai and popularized by the movie of the same name. The bridge is still there and is in fact still in use, the graves of the allied soldiers can also be spotted.

Death Railway Bridge: The bridge looks quite ordinary but it is the story behind the bridge that is dramatic. The materials for the bridge were brought from Java by the imperial Japanese Army during their occupation of Thailand. In 1945 the bridge was bombed several times and was only rebuilt after the war.

Krasae Railway Bridge: This bridge was also assembled by the prisoners during the WWII. The attraction of this bridge is that was made by teakwood raising about 15 m. up from the river.

JEATH War Museum: The museum is a replica example of the bamboo huts used to house Allied POWs during the occupation. The long huts contain various photographs taken during the war, drawings and paintings by POWs, maps, weapons and other war memorabilia. The acronym JEATH represents the fated meeting of Japan, England, Australia, America, Thailand and Holland in Kanchanaburi during WWII.
