JEATH War Museum, Kanchanaburi

JEATH War Museum is a museum on the Death Railway built by Allied prisoners-of-war labourers under the Japanese in Thailand. The name JEATH is an acronym of the five nationalities involved in the construction of the railway, namely Japan, England, Australia, Thailand and Holland.

The museum is located within the grounds of Wat Chaichumpol, and was established by its chief abbot, the Venerable Phra Theppanyasuthee, in 1977. The JEATH War Museum faithfully recreates the living quarters of the prisoners of war. It also exhibits photographs showing the terrible conditions of the men working to build the Death Railway. There are also documents written by former POWs, war veterans and their relatives of the suffering they experienced under the Imperial Japanese army.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
