It wasn't Thai that died building the Thai-Burma railway,,It was mostly Aussie, Brit and assorted other POWs.
To find out the real truth is very hard because of the tourist attraction to such things,,but the "Bridge on the river Kwai" is all BS. they didn't build the bridge that is there,,the bridges that they built were just Viaducts that hugged the steep banks on the East side of the river and never did cross it.

But Thailand was an ally of Japan and there was a gorilla movement but it was hilltribes and not "THAI".

And the Thai fought with the Viet for awhile until the French left.
