After breakfast, leave for Thanbyuzayat, around 34 km from Mawlamyaing and the starting point of the Death Railway connecting Myanmar (Thanbyuzayat Station) and Thailand (Ban Pong Station) with the bridge over the River Kwai and constructed by the Japanese during WWII.
Work on the Death Railway was started in May 1943 and the line was officially opened on 25th October 1943. More than 20,000 prisoners of war died during its construction. The recently opened Railway Museum is well worth a visit. 16 km before Ye, stop off to visit the Banana Mountain from where you can overlook the whole Ye Valley.
After arrival in Ye, transfer to your hotel for check‐in. A local brick factory on the outskirts of the town proves an interesting visit to see how bricks are made (seasonal). The local workers will be delighted to show you their hard labour and are always happy to be photographed. Time permitting, you may also get to enjoy a magnificent sunset from the Ye railway bridge.
