Jonathan Fairfield Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Join the Annual Anzac day celebration in Kanchanaburi. Transport available. Tuesday service with a free BBQ. Optional golf Monday and Wednesday. A great way to celebrate Anzac Day. Keep the tradition alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that in Hellfire pass AND kanchanaburi or just kanchanaburi? Dawn ceromony at Hellfire Pass then 10 am ceromony at the war cemetary and usually a bbq after. Great ceromonies, lots of old diggers and everyday people paying their respects and a good day in town afterwards watching the Anzac day sport. Recommend it.

midasthailand Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I am sure you are not deliberately denigrating ANZAC day, but we commemorate on ANZAC day, we do not celebrate on ANZAC day! Nevertheless, I hope all who attend spare a thought for those men who died so that we can live in freedom today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iang Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 ANZAC Day is a memorial & commemoration, definitely not a celebration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikosan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Let's not nitpick. Celebration is not the correct word, but let's be a little flexible, I believe the post was made in the right spirit. I will be in Kanchanaburi for ANZAC day, as always. Not doing Hellfire Pass this year, but will be at the main cemetery and after that at Chungkai. Then back to Kanchanaburi to chew the cud with the many, many, who take the trouble to 'remember'. See you there on 25th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I can't be there as I'm overseas but I visited the two cemeteries in Kanchanaburi, the famous trestle bridge and Hellfire Pass a fortnight back. Noticed at Hellfire pass lots of seating; I guess preparations start early. Although a Brit I have the family down to attend one year (be good for my boys to experience).

Blackheart1916 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Well it's over and done, I didn't get to Hellfire Pass due to a late start, but the 11am ceremony at the War Cemetery was very well run and poignant. Two surviving Aussie POWs were there and shared some very moving memories. Lasted for almost an hour with a free BBQ for those that wanted to remain, I made my way to Crackers bar to partake of another great tradition, watching the mighty Bombers down the Pies!!!

Their sacrifice and subsequent defeat only helped Turks to kill 1.5 million more Christian Armenians in Turkey. R.I.P Aussies,Kiwis and all the brave!
