What a great place and so well maintained by the Australian government. Easy to get to (bit of a trek from Kanchanaburi) and quite interesting. The day we went was a holiday so the Interpretive Centre was closed, but you could still do the walking trail. I would highly recommend people visit the Thai Burma Railway Museum to get a good overview of the war efforts in this area and the atrocities that occurred during this period, it gives some good background before you visit Hellfire Pass. Stunning place to visit and a very well maintained and respectable memorial to all those who served here
2. Mon Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 355 reviews
It is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand and it was built for comfortable transportation of people living in Sangkhlaburi and Mon Villagers. Nowadays the bridge is closed for vehicles but you can still walk over the wooden bridge. The bridge is a popular place to see an unforgettable sunset or sunrise at the dam. You also can take a bath like the Mon kids.

This photogenic pedestrian bridge is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand. It connects Sangkhla Buri to the Mon Hilltribe Village. It is in use everyday and regularly maintained. We visited at New Year 2020, so there were many people giving food to Buddhist monks early morning on January 1st. It is really worth the trip to see it!
