• Kanchanaburi War Cemetery - The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, also known as the Don-Rak War Cemetery, is the main POW cemetery for victims of Japanese imprisonment during the construction of the Burma Railway. It is located on Saeng Chuto Road in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, next to an older Chinese cemetery.

The cemetery was designed by Colin St Clair Oakes and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It holds 6,982 POWs, mostly Australian, British, and Dutch. It contains the remains of prisoners buried along the southern section of the railway from Bangkok to Nieke, except for those identified as Americans, whose remains were repatriated.

There are 1,896 Dutch war graves, with the remainder from Britain and the Commonwealth. Two graves contain the ashes of 300 men who were cremated. The Kanchanaburi Memorial lists the names of 11 individuals from India who are buried in Muslim cemeteries.

• JEATH War Museum - Founded in 1977 by the chief abbot of Wat Chaichumpol, Venerable Phra Theppanyasuthee, the museum is located on the temple grounds at the junction of the Khwae Yai and Khwae Noi rivers in Kanchanaburi. It is part of the famous Bridge over the River Kwai saga.

The acronym JEATH represents the primary nationalities involved in the railway’s construction: Japanese, English, Australian, American, Thai, and Dutch. The Thai name is Phíphítháphan Songkhram Wát Tâi (Wat Tai War Museum).

The museum is divided into two sections: one depicting the construction of the Death Railway, recreating the quarters used by Allied POWs, and the other featuring reconstructed bamboo huts with items such as paintings, drawings, and photos by former prisoners, weapons, tools, and maps.

Tourist photos are not allowed in Section I of the museum.

• Bridge Over the River Kwai - The Bridge on the River Kwai is a 1957 epic war film directed by David Lean, based on the 1952 novel by Pierre Boulle. The film is set during the construction of the Burma Railway in 1942–1943 and stars William Holden, Jack Hawkins, Alec Guinness, and Sessue Hayakawa.

Initially scripted by Carl Foreman, who was later replaced by Michael Wilson, both writers worked in secret due to being on the Hollywood blacklist and having relocated to the UK. Consequently, Boulle, who did not speak English, was credited and received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Many years later, Foreman and Wilson posthumously received the Academy Award.

The film received widespread acclaim, winning seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, at the 30th Academy Awards. In 1997, it was recognized as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

The Bridge on the River Kwai, located in Kanchanaburi, managed to evade scheduled demolition and now serves as a popular tourist landmark. Besides being an attraction, it still functions as a railway bridge with trains running across it every day. More of its minor elements are authentic, but a minor proportion has been substituted with post-war additions.
