Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and Memorial Walking Trail, formerly known as the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, is a historic site in Kanchanaburi built by the Australian Government's Department of Veteran's Affairs and dedicated to those Allied prisoners of war (POWs), Australian and other, as well as the Asian labourers who suffered and died in the Asia Pacific region during WW II, especially those working on the construction of the Thailand-Burma railway. The memorial features a museum and 4.5 kms of walking trail. The memorial at this historic site is the result of a proposal to the Australian Government by Mr. Morris, a former Australian Corporal and POW who worked on the Thailand-Burma railway during WWII. The Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, in Thai known as Anuson Sathaan Chong Khao Khahd (อนุสรณ์สถานช่องเขาขาด), was officially opened in April 1998. The name is derived from the Konyu Cutting, a place where POWs and Asian labourers worked punishing hours well into the night cutting a pass through earth and rock; the flickering bonfire light on the withered workers gave the place its name. The museum is situated around 80 kms northwest of Kanchanaburi town. In 2018, the museum received a complete overhaul and also the trail was refurbished with new pebbles on the bedding where the rail track once lay and new wide staircases and ramps that are leveled at intervals making the climb up less demanding, while also new interpretative panels have been provided at various locations of the walking trail. It reopened in late 2018 under the new name of Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and Memorial Walking Trail.
