Start the day at the JEATH Museum, which documents the harrowing experiences of Allied prisoners of war and Asian laborers who were forced to build the Thai–Burma “Death Railway” during WWII. The museum offers an emotional and educational perspective on this dark chapter of Thai history.

🌉 Bridge Over the River Kwai
