My destination for other several times to the Three Pagodas Pass was worth to capture an further photo.

The has been a border channel connecting Thailand and Burma for centuries, either in term of battles and wars in the past or trades and friendly relationships nowadays.
Located approximately 22 kilometers from Sangkhla Buri, the three lining pagodas are memorials to the Siam-Burmese battle during the Ayutthaya period 1350-1767.

During World War II, Japan built the infamous Death Railway through the pass.
There is a memorial to commemorate the thousands of British, Australian, Dutch and American prisoners of war, and Asian forced labourers who died during the construction of the railway.
