Kanchanaburi...Hellfire Pass

Had an early start this morning. Headed out to beautiful Sai Yok waterfalls first then Hindad hot springs before we went to Hellfire Pass. There's a great museum and memorial setup there. We had a look around there then followed the steep path down to Hellfire Pass, the most difficult stretch of the Thai Burma Railway. The Aussies worked 18 hours/day during the Japanese speedo to complete the cutting through solid rock using hand tools. It was really sad but a must see for any Aussie. Part of the Death Railway still exists and we travelled along it for about 30 km in an old local train.
