Krasae Cave Railway Station is a popular train station for viewing the Death Railway. Tourists will wait for the trains that pass by on Saturdays and Sundays as special trains for tourists. Krasae Cave is a short distance from this station, located on the edge of a cliff near the railway. It used to be the accommodation of prisoners of war during the construction of the Thai-Myanmar Death Railway.

This Death Railway was built during the Second World War by prisoners of the Allies and Asian workers which the Japanese Army arranged to construct a strategic route through Myanmar. Currently, the end of this route is Ban Tha Sao or Namtok Station. The distance to waterfall from Kanchanaburi Station to Namtok Station is about 77 km. “The more railway sleepers, the more workers - prisoners of war who were forced to build this railway were dead”— this is the story of the Thai-Burma Railway. The distance of 415 km, reflects the brutality and hardship of prisoners of war, which is the reason why this railway is called ”the Death Railway”.
