By far the most impressive site to visit of the war monuments in Kanchanaburi. Hellfire Pass is the name of a railway cutting, famed for its cost in life, on the Death Railway in Thailand, known by the Japanese as Konyu cutting. It was built in World War II, in part by prisoners of war. Work by torchlight at night gave the pass its name. The site is located in a thick forest. Along a 4-kilometer walking trail made by the Allied prisoners, visitors can envision the difficulties faced in constructing the Death Railway using simple tools. The pass is approximately 500 meters long and 26 meters deep. In 1943 prisoners of war employing hand drills, picks and shovels, baskets and dynamite completed it within six weeks.
