The acronym JEATH stands for the different nationalities of the POWs that worked on the construction of the railway between 1942 and 1943: Japan, England, America, Australia, Thailand and Holland (The Netherlands).
The museum displays the actual items that were used for the construction of the Death Railway and it exhibits a large number of photographs taken by prisoners at the time. One of the three galleries featuring photos is housed within a bamboo hut that’s an exact replica of the shelters that the POWs (Prisoners of War) lived in during this time. The museum is also home to a bomb dropped by the allies to destroy the bridge but that failed to explode.

Definitely worth taking this trip! - There was only 2 of us on the tour. It was very good. Our driver Frank had good English and was very helpful getting us on our way. We met the guide Na at the JEATH museum, she also has good English and is an amazing source of information & a bundle of energy! The Erawan falls were fantastic for a swim in the heat. Na was very helpful in getting our lunch (paid separately) & making sure we enjoyed our day. The only downside is it's a long day, but definitely worth it!

It was great! There are even rock slides, and the fish nibble on you! - My tour guide (Na) was great! She even made sure that I got good photos and good food. The ride up was also very comfortable.

Can’t recommend enough! - Interesting to see the history of the bridge
And the shocking and sad history. Amazing boat ride up the river Kwai seeing water buffalo. Emotional Visit to the bridge then onwards to Erawan falls which I highly recommend especially on a hot day. Our guide and driver were excellent and kept us entertained and safe.

Must do in Thailand - Na (guide) and Beera (driver) were very fun and took care of us very well! Took pictures for us and had lots of knowledge to share :) loved Erawan! had no idea it had the fish that nibbled dry skin. It was crazy at first haha but so funny and very nice once you get used to the tickling sensation. The pow camp was very interesting too very educational. I think this will definitely be a highlight of my time in bangkok!

Great Day Trip! - My sisters and I had a great tour with our guide Na and driver Ber. It’s a bit of a drive from Bangkok but peaceful and interesting to watch out the window. We really enjoyed feeling and watching the fish in the Erawan fall pools…an unexpected natural spa treatment, though maybe not ideal if you dislike fish!! The JEATH museum and River Kwai Bridge were also very informative and Na gave us lots of additional info. Great for anyone who is interested in world war history but perhaps less familiar with the Pacific Theatre. I’m a history teacher so it’s given me some useful new content to share with students! Great trip overall.

Solo Travel Approved - My tour guide was amazing! She was so informative about each location, as well as the best spots to eat and take photos. She had such a bright and kind soul. I traveled alone and she made me feel comfortable. The only reason I didn’t rate my experience 5 stars is due to the driver. When I got into the car he mentioned stopping somewhere for 5-10 minutes but I couldn’t understand his English very well so I assumed we were stopping to pick up more travelers. We ended up stopping at a mechanic and he had something replaced on his car. I would have no problem with this if it were an emergency like an unexpected flat tire, but I was very confused by this. As a female traveling alone, this didn’t make me feel the most safe. Apart from that, I didn’t appreciate this being done on the time that I paid for as this should have been done before or after my excursion. I know the driving is very different here than where I’m from, but he seemed to drive pretty erratic too, by driving on the opposite side of the road to pass cars while there was oncoming traffic. He also jerked the car around when hitting the breaks and going around bends so good thing I’m not someone who gets motion sickness.
