We visited the cemetery and museum early in the morning and was moved by the scale and dignity of the cemetery. Reading some of the grave stones of the victims it brought those who perished to life especially those with photographs or words from their families. Staggering to think the many local workers who also died in the building of the railway and our unaccounted for. The museum is well worth a visit and includes many interesting facts and personal stories. It is well maintained and is an appropriate way to remember the events that occurred close by.

We visited Kanchanaburi War Cemetery purposefully to visit the grave of a Great Uncle, whom I never knew. I felt bad that he and all the others had to stay there, and I got to go home to Australia. He was 40 years old when he died there and left behind a young family. In the museum beside the cemetery, Death Railway Museum, tells the story of the building of the bridge over the River Kwae and the railway construction. In here the staff printed out for me, a copy of my Great Uncles's record. The visit was very moving.

This war cemetery is opposite the JEATH Museum. A visit to the museum and Hellfire Pass are recommended before visiting the cemetery so that you have an understanding of the suffering POWs went through before death. A very sobering experience. It's even harder for those of us who have relatives here. The grounds are beautifully kept.

This was a very emotional tour at the museum and war grave cemetery. Although it was raining quite hard it only added to the emotions of this moment in history. I thought I knew about the death railway but after nearly 2 hours in the museum I learnt the truth about the death railway. The museum is well laid out and in a good logical way with a huge range of exhibits with English explanations. We then wandered out to the cemetery and spent an emotional time taking in the enormity of this horrific moment in history. Well worth a visit.

We arranged a 5 day pilgrimage through a company in Australia to see and follow the footsteps of my grandfather who was a POW on the death railway. The tour was run by the museums staff and was BRILLIANT! It was so well researched and the stuff we found out about my grandfather was beyond incredible! From the moment we got picked up in Bangkok in a private van we were well looked after. Coffee, lunch and snacks arranged and they bent over backwards to help us. The museum is awesome and really interesting and special mention goes to Andrew, Terry, Keow and Pum who are all dedicated and special human beings. Thank you so much for a trip that we will always remember.

Despite some snarky reviews we found this cemetery very moving especially after just going through the nearby museum detailing the depravities inflicted on the POWs and non-combatants in building the nearby bridge and railroad in WW2. Reading the inscriptions on the tombstones made the realities of this period very real. The cemetery is very well maintained and a tribute to these poor unfortunates who died here.

We decided to do our second trip to the CWGC Kanchaburi to pay our respects to the lives represented there of all who suffered whilst POW's during WW2 building the Death Railway. It was 40 degree heat so gave us an insight to the sort of temperatures the mean would have been up against we barely lasted one hour. However, being ex Royal Signals I managed to take photos of all the graves of the fallen Royal Signals men i hadnt realised there to be so many some circal 260. Point to note its a cemertary proper respect whilst attending is a must. Its also worthwhile to go to the museum, if you like how about shouting morning tea for the workers tending the graves, We did, they were very thankfull.

Beautifully maintained, tranquil resting place for a great number of Allied POW’s who lost their lives a long way from home. It was a thought provoking and emotional place, and an opportunity to pay our respects to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in horrific circumstances. We then went to hellfire pass where there is an Australian funded memorial museum.

We visit the cemetery while on tour to the River Kwai from Bangkok. It was really interesting to do this prior to visiting the railway to give you an insight to the incredible and tragic history behind the building of the railway. It’s pleasing that the cemetery is so well care for but sad to think that this is only 10% of the men that lost their lives as prisoners of war. Very sad and moving as such young brave men.

Visited here on our recent trip to Thailand. We were the only people here apart from our guide and a gardener tending the grounds so it was very peaceful. There was an atmosphere of calm, very moving. The grounds are very well maintained. Would recommend a trip here. here on our recent tri
