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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
