JEATH War Museum

If the cemeteries bear witness to the carnage of the 'Death Railway', the JEATH Museum bears witness to the suffering of those that fell during its construction. The 'open-air' JEATH (Japan, England, Australia, Thailand and Holland) Museum was built in 1977 by a Thai abbot in the style of the huts used to imprison prisoners of war. The museum contains bunks and pictures of actual soldiers who died alongside articles on the site and other authentic items. The result is a picture of cramped squalor which gives visitors a genuine insight into the suffering the soldiers went through.
