Trip.com User: A very moving place and well worth a visit to pay your respects to so many of the young souls who lost their lives during WWII. mainly due to the forced labor that was imposed on the POW’s from the Imperial Japanese Army Command. The war museum is also close by 3-5 min walk and also worth a visit very informative and insightful. You can also retrieve family records from any relatives that where on the Burma Railway from that time which I think is fantastic to be able to see the history of loved ones.
