Tha Khanun (Thai: ท่าขนุน) is a town and subdistrict (tambon) of Thong Pha Phum district of the Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. It is named after the Jackfruit tree, and is located on the Khwae Noi River.[2] Lam Khlong Ngu National Park and Wat Tha Khanun [th], a large Buddhist temple, are located near the town.

History

Tha Khanun was a river harbour town on the Khwae Noi River. In 1786, Rama I landed his troops in Tha Khanun from Bangkok to fight the Burmese–Siamese War.[2] During the 20th century, an important part of the economy was wolfram mining in the nearby mountains.[3] Before the construction of roads, ore was transported by elephants from the mines to the harbour of Tha Khanun, and shipped by boat to Kanchanaburi.[4]

During World War II, it was the location of three prisoner of war camps along the Burma Railway, and was described as a large town with shops, a police station, and many fruit trees.[3][5] Lam Khlong Ngu National Park is located in the subdistrict and is known for its caves.[6] In 1986, the Vajiralongkorn Dam was constructed on the Khwae Noi River near the town.[7]

Wat Tha Khanun [th] is a large Buddhist temple with a golden stupa. It is located on top of a mountain overlooking the town and the river. The temple can be reached via a 285 step staircase from the south side of the mountain.[8]

Camp Takanun

Camp Takanun were three Japanese prisoner of war camps constructed during World War II. The first prisoners arrived in October 1942.[5] The camps were reasonable at first, however there was a cholera outbreak in Camp 206[3] which caused 180 deaths in one month.[5] While cholera ravaged the prisoners of war, thousands of conscripted Asian workers were brought into Takanun.[3] The camps were abandoned in March 1944.[5]
