World War II Museum in Khun Yuam district, Mae Hong Son

Old men tell that, during World War II, Japanese soldiers
moved through the upper northern region, especially Chiang Mai and Mae Hong

Yuam district, Mae Hong Son, a road that earned the sad name of “Death
Road”, as many persons died during its construction.
