	COFEPOW - South East Asia Under Japanese Occupation - Burma Siam railway
		The notorious Burma-Siam railway, built by British, Australian, Dutch and American prisoners of war, was a Japanese project inspired by the need for improved communications to maintain the large Japanese Armv in Burma.
		More than 250 miles of railway, from Thanbyuzayat in Burma to Ban Pong in Thailand, remained to be constructed, much of it through mountainous country and dense jungle, in a region with one of the worst climates in the world.
		The railway was overworked carrying troops and military supplies, and local traders seldom visited the camps of the working parties, small compared with those of 1943 and therefore not so profitable; so that supplementary food supplies were scanty, and again sickness took its toll.

	2Bangkok.com - Thai/Burma Railway
		The line ended at a buffer about 400 meters from Nam Tok station; beyond the buffer shrubbery and bushes occupied the former railway alignment that seemed rather impenetrable.
		From here, the old railway survives as a footpath to the Waterfall.
		It took this correspondent until 4th May 2004, 12 years after having photographed that promising signboard, to enjoy the first actual ride – about 1,400 meter closer to Burma, thereof 1,082 meter on newly laid track along the old alignment of the Thai/Burma Railway.

	Thailand - Burma Railway
		The notorious Burma-Siam railway, built by British, Australian, Dutch and American prisoners of war, was a Japanese project inspired by the need for improved communications to maintain the large Japanese army in Burma.
		More than 250 miles of railway, from Thanbyuzayat in Burma to Ban Pong (or Bampong) in Thailand, remained to be constructed, much of it through mountainous country and dense jungle, in a region with one of the worst climates in the world.
		The Japanese had been surprised by the reaction of world opinion against theirtreatment of prisoners of war, and there is evidence that they began to feel apprehensive about the heavy casualties of 1943, and made efforts to counteract their reputation for uncivilised treatment of prisoners.

	The Thai-Burma Railway and Beyond
		The railway was completed on the 17th October 1943 at Konkuita in Thailand, not far from the Three Pagodas Pass.
		When the Railway was completed, teams of maintenance workers were formed by the Japs, moving up and down the track, repairing and maintaining bridges, tracks, embankments, etc. I was one of a group sent to northern Thailand and into Burma, to dig caves into the hillsides.
		The problems I had to deal with whilst working on the Railway were mainly chronic dysentery, intermittent malaria attacks, of which one was touch-and-go, minor beri-beri and a small tropical ulcer which miraculously disappeared.

	Thailand-Burma Railway
		He has travelled the length of the railway, locating and mapping the sites of the former POW camps and work areas, and he has amassed the largest database of POW names and information that there is to be had on the Death Railway.
		Chungkai Theatre: After the railway was finished the prisoners had more time to relax, a theatre was built using raw materials at Chungkai and in the evenings the men would join in the community singing.
		I have just spent 14 months in Thailand researching the railway (my father was a POW who worked on the line) and I have stood on the site of both bridges and I can assure you that the photo is the three-tier bridge taken post-war.
