The trip includes a visit to the infamous bridge on the River Kwai, built by Allied prisoners of war (POW) during World War II. It includes a visit to a war cemetery containing the graves of an estimated 9,000 Allied soldiers who died while building the bridge and constructing the notorious -Death Railway-. At the JEATH Museum, guests will see a replica of a Japanese POW camp, followed by a train journey along a stunning stretch of the -Death Railway-. A buffet lunch is served upon arrival at Wang Po station, close to the Burmese border.

The bridge and especially final temple at sundown made the journey worth it. Beware its a 2.5 hour journey to first stop and 3 hour bus journey back. Very good lunch provided.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful with taking photos for solo travellers like me and forwarding them immediately by WhatsApp.
It was a memorable and poignant tour.

I enjoyed this experience the guide gave some history and background to Prisoner of war soldiers and Asian men who built the railway line.
The museum is not kept very well and needs cleaning as the pictures were very dirty and we were rushed through and not given time to digest the information.
The war memorial site is very humbling so many lost lives 🥲.
The train ride was very good with lots to see. It is worth the upgrade 500 BHT to have a double seat.
You are able to walk over the bridge which was an amazing experience.
Lunch was very good and plenty of choice.
There is a little market at the end to wander round after lunch.

Highly recommend this tour. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide who ran us through the itinerary at the start of the trip and provided background before arrival at the first point of interest. He also took pictures of the group through the tour on his phone which are sent to you at the end, complimentary. Good for solo travellers.
The war cemetery was peaceful and you could walk through the rows to see the different allied forces that rested there (aussies near the front entrance to the left).
The museum, though small, was a good reminder of what war actually looked like.
The railway, particularly near the river is a stunning but somber reminder of what people died to create and that this was all done by hand. Some of the track is being replaced due to its age but the line is thesame.
Other notes, I did quite enjoy the extras that I paid for; the short boat ride under the bridge thay was bombed by the US Air Forcr and the upgrade to reserve seating in the train which guaranteed a seat, snack, water for the 1hr train ride (economy looked full that day and it was too hot to potenially stand for that long) which was THB 300 for each extra (THB 600 total for extras).
The buffet lunch was a solid selection of Thai food and desserts with instant coffee or tea included. Ate till full and awesome view of the river :). Option to buy cold drinks too if desired.

The tour leaves much to be desired. It was more hype than what we expected. Not enough information and the train ride is extremely long for what you actually see.

It is a worthwhile day, although long. 6am start and get back for about 5.30/6pm even though you leave immediately after lunch. The Jeath Museum was OK - just photos and paintings - not many descriptions in English. We were there for about half an hour. The cemetery, as you can guess, was sobering - 20 mins there. Train and lunch excellent. Bit disappointed with our guide, Oil, who was more of an escort. So many other guides have been really informative along the way detailing landmarks, history, culture but ours just fell asleep. No info along the way really not at any stops. She seemed to take her cue from other tour guides on the train. Her English was more limited. The guide normally really makes the day and so this was disappointing.
