Catherine there was only a handful of visitors on each of the two occasions I was there but I guess the cemetery gets lots of people turn up some days. I would imagine coach parties probably visit from time to time.

Martyn, I stopped by the cemetery to pay my respects on Monday afternoon. It was mostly empty, but there were a handful of westerners making their way through the graves.

Martyn, what a wonderful post.

Whenever I’m in Kanchanaburi, I honour the dead from the RR. Sometimes I go to Hell Fire Pass. Other times to the Thai museum along the river.

The last time I was there, I took my dear friend from the UK. Her father, a pilot in that war, was one of the prisoners working on the railroad.

It seriously changed his life and the lives of his children.

I know she would love your post, so I will show it to her when I’m visiting next (she is not one for the Internet, so it will have to wait).
