I visited there on June 19 with family. It was great visit there for my daughter's historical knowledge. She want to know about World War II ,Japanese army,British alliance army and Myanmar(Burmese) forced labour civilians as well.

... if you came to Kanchanaburi for the WW II history or if you're at least slightly interested in history. Coming from Europe, the WW II history is mostly told from a "Western" perspective, so for me this was one of the best museums I...More
Very harrowing but makes you realise how lucky we are to be at peace with the world and not have to go through anything like this
