Hell Fire Pass and Death Railway Museum

[@traveler7249]

That museum is much better than I expected. They did a great job and were well-staffed with knowledgeable staff.

[@JourneyswithMN]

Yes we agree on that.

[@johnshores4745]

It's hard to imagine what those soldiers went through , I spent an hour down in the pass last summer and was bitten to hell . RIP all the soldiers lost in conflicts

[@JourneyswithMN]

Amen to that.

[@TimFink_Trump2024]

Good job Mike, you know some of our younger generation has no idea what it took for the Freedoms of the world. God Bless men and women in uniform. Safe travels.

[@JourneyswithMN]

This is so true. Todays youth think everything is free. Freedom is not free, men and woman have fought and died to keep that freedom.

[@junebarnick3089]

WOW 👌 👏 that's amazing 👏 😍 alot of stairs to climb. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

[@JourneyswithMN]

Yes it was! stairs were good for my exercise and it was very informative.

[@jorgemonserrate7070]

Definitely Australian Gvt influence regarding safety at the site. The history behind it is humbling, the sacrifice of so many soldiers fighting to defend liberty. Some of history’s lessons are forgotten too quickly, and too easily.

[@JourneyswithMN]

This is true, so easily forgotten, may be repeated.

[@idroadking]

Very interesting and indeed sobering.... thanks for posting.

[@JourneyswithMN]

Yes indeed.

[@Bikemaker708]

Great Video Mike and Nicole, what a horrific like for the POW’s very sad RIP soldiers. Thank you for taken us along.

[@JourneyswithMN]

many POW's, some of them were telling their stories. Its amazing they prevailed.

[@paultan3826]

A very good video. especially the walk all the way down to the pass. Feel like I am walking along together with you.....

[@JourneyswithMN]

Glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping to walk the whole path, but the fires had most of it closed down. The wife was happy though. Isn't it great to feel like you are right there?

[@carleto9597]

Thanks for the tour of Hell Fire Pass. It's something all of them went through there. Well have a good trip to your next town. Take care my good friends.

[@JourneyswithMN]

Nice video as alway. Waiting video from mon bridge

[@ชมพรรณโชติดิลก]

I cry when i walk through until the end. The war was terrible

[@JourneyswithMN]

War is terrible, I joined the Marine Corp in 1980 when Iran took all the hostages, then Reagon tookoffice and they released them. LOL

[@ชมพรรณโชติดิลก]

[@maureen8966]

Thanks for watching Tommy.

[@bkkbill1]

Solemn walk. Mike the camera with the stabilizer is solid, good work.

[@JourneyswithMN]

Good to hear, thanks.

[@sasimayandbruce]

Good vid

[@JourneyswithMN]

Thanks Bruce and Sassi

[@traveler7249]

We went in Aug and the rains prevented us from actually entering the pass. -- It's a very somber place. The heat is intense and I can only imagine how it must have been for the POWs. -- We took a small tour to the pass, a great waterfall, and hot springs, and ended the day, riding on the railway cars along a river.

[@JourneyswithMN]

yes it is very somber, they definetly had it rough. The train ride was nice for us.

[@berniemeade5882]

Great video guy’s, when we were there a couple of years ago there was a lot more trees .Not much shade now, so would of been really hot and those stairs coming back up are a killer. Amazing place to visit.

[@JourneyswithMN]

They told us there were alot of fires in the area. Yes the stairs were killers, LOL

[@ethelbennie6827]

Good Morning Mike and Niccole. Great Video. Ethel from London

[@JourneyswithMN]

Good morning! Ethel, thanks for watching and sending a comment.

[@tom.d.9917]

Did a tour there. Not like you guys did. see so much more doing self tour. A lot more understood from your video. Keep on Keeping on.

[@JourneyswithMN]

Yes because they won't let you video in most of those places. We take pictures, but they don't tell the story.

[@paulcousins1371]

Thanks for the vid Mike and Niccole, it’s really sobering visiting ww2 memorials, so glad you got your visa extension sorted with Gift’s help, have a blessed day❤️ That chicken and salad looked great😋

[@JourneyswithMN]

A lot of things we never studied in school about the wars. There were a couple kids walking the path, like us and stopping to take selfies, not sure if they knew they were walking in a war memorial. Visa is good now thanks to Gift and the salad was fantastic.

[@saigongriffin]

cool...I took the train from BKK to the river with my friend around 1970-71 when we were 11 or 12, hellfire pass as it is today was just a trail and we wanted to hike it all the way to 3 Pagoda pass on the Burma border, but we never made it. Big idea's in our youth, but execution was an issue. This facility and museums look great, I need to revisit this side of Thailand.

[@JourneyswithMN]

I would say its worth revisiting. As kids we have good immaginations and dreams.

[@JonDoefour]

Big fire at Hotel in Kanchanaaburi, is it the one you guys stopped at ?

[@JourneyswithMN]

Which Hotel was it. We stayed at the Bridge.

[@joeshmooo5327]

Just curious is "going to some museums" code word for hitting the bar?

[@JourneyswithMN]

No we actually mean museums, LOL, we are not big drinkers, however we might have a cocktail every now and again.

[@joeshmooo5327]

@@JourneyswithMN LOl just kidding though I have seen all your videos since you came to PKK. You more often than not have a beer in your hand. LOL

[@JourneyswithMN]

@@joeshmooo5327 You are right about that, this is the most I have drank in years, LOL
