About Thanbyuzayat
The name Thanbyuzayat (Zob Bu in Mon language) refers to the White Pavillion built long ago for travellers to rest, where the roads from Kyaiklhamee and Ye meet, when there was no settlement around. The first settlers were an old couple from a nearby village called Panga. Since that time on, many more people came and settled around the pavilion. The small village quickly became a town. DuringWorld War II, Thanbyuzayat was the western terminus of the Thailand–Burma Railway, linking up with the pre-war coastal railway betweenYeandYangon. So this village is known around the world as the starting point in Myanmar (Burma) of the infamous Death Railway.
