Historical Site

( Th Saengchuto; 8am-6pm) Across the street from the Thailand-Burma Railway
Centre is the Allied War Cemetery, which is immaculately maintained by the War
Graves Commission. Of the 6982 POWs buried here, nearly half were British; the
others were mainly from Australia and the Netherlands. It is estimated that at least
100,000 people died while working on the railway, the majority being labourers from
nearby Asian countries, though there's not one identifiable grave.
