Chungkai was one of the base camps on the Burma-Siam railway and contained a hospital and church built by Allied prisoners of war.

JEATH War Museum

Visit Jeath war museum, The name JEATH is derived from countries engaged in the WWII death railway construction from 1942 to 1945: Japan, England, America, Australia, Thailand and Holland.

This experience has been a highlight of my travels . Super comfortable with a private car , the guide Jimmy had an incredible amount of knowledge was friendly with a great science of humour. Our driver Pratheep was very experienced and courteous and we felt incredibly safe in our travels . The tour was full of history and beauty and was incredibly touching. I really appreciate every bit of the experience. The waterfalls were a great way to finish with. Do your self a favour and take the opportunity to do this tour.

It was an interesting experience to get out of Bangkok and see some of the Thai countryside. The lunch was pretty good for these kind of excursions with decent food and a beautiful view. Our guide Mam was extremely nice and helpful although we could not understand all she said.
Very knowledgeable and though provoking

Be prepared for the long hot day. As a planned group of 7, we were surprised to collect another couple. Very knowledgeable guide, with courteous driver. Parts of the road journey aittle hairy, some very crazy driving goes on. The tour it's self very sobering and thought provoking, but glad we did it. Amazing scenery.

Very interesting program of the day. We enjoyed visiting the Kwai River Bridge, the cave and the train tour. Everything was colorful. However, big downside: our guide, whose name is unknown since he did not show up, gave us very little information as much about the course of the day as about the history of this place. Moreover, he did not stop talking loudly all along the way without addressing us.
