We enjoyed the trip to the Museum at Hellfire Pass but didn't have
time to actually do any of the walk up to the pass itself. If you are
going alone (without an arranged group) you should leave Kanchanaburi
early. We went on the train (i think it left at about 1 pm) to the end
of the line and got a local bus which dropped us near the museum. The
museum itself was interesting and thought provoking and set in a
beautiful, peaceful location.
