Peace Vessel


I lived in Thailand for two and a half years with my husband. This is a photograph of the Peace Vessel at Hellfire Pass just outside the Thai town of Kanchanaburi. It was erected in honour of the 12, 436 Prisoners of War who lost their lives during the building of the Burmese-Siam railway (Known as the 'Death' Railway).

  1. Gorgeous. One of the places in the world I've always wanted to go to!
    Loving the clouds in the background, they give the photo a mysterious look to it.
