Established after the Second World War, Kanchanaburi War Cemetery (also known as Don Rak) was built to commemorate more than 5084 Commonwealth and 1896 Dutch Prisoners of War who died during the construction of the Burma-Siam Railway. The plaques sit on a beautifully manicured lawn of the cemetery, interlaced by tiny gardens and colourful blooms tendered by the Thai people.
