I was on my way to the museum . Did not manage to locate the booth for paying the entrance ticket . I accidentally stepped into the museum premises. It was just two steps from the main road A lady from the ticket booth ordered me to get out and attempted to abuse me . She asked me to get lost to return to my country . I told her not to be rude to tourist . She kept challenging me and use Thai and English to talk to me . Her gesture was very very bad and kept me very annoyed . A country which is so good at service and people are hospitable are let down by this type of rude and unreasonable behaviour to tourist . Even if is free , don’t think one would even want to patronise . Amazing !!!!!!!!!!

Very interesting museum. Based in the shaddow of the bridge but not entirely focused on the death railway. Some of the documentation exhibited from the war period seemed rather biased towards the Japanese, but in context of the time, and the punishments metered out by the occupiers, not unsurprising. The overall portrayal of the futility of war I found quite moving. One thing I did find rather inapropriate and condiscending was the sign at the enterance with the caricature of a smiling Japanese guard.
