However, though masks are not mentioned on the website, perhaps people are asked at the time of the tour, someone who’s done a meerkat behind the scenes tour recently would have to comment

I just checked the website, no mention now of masks (of course), there is this
“Participants afflicted with a cold, influenza, or cold sores will not be able to participate in experiences with monkeys or apes due to the risk of infection for our primates.” - no mention of Covid even.

Melbourne Zoo, Australia, visitors were required to mask to protect the meerkats (those doing a behind the scenes, meet the meerkats tours, not the general zoo public)

and Max - a new (to Australia) streaming service.

My memory is that Dad said he never met Weary during the war (though he was a patient at Nakhon Pathom) as Weary was a surgeon and Dad thankfully never needed a surgeon. He met him in 1987 then on later trips to Konyu/Hintock, as they found the site of Weary’s hospital at Hintok Mountain Camp.

He didn’t keep a diary. When he returned, he put it behind him. The memories came flooding back in the 1980/90s. He then had many trips back to the area with family, he read widely the war histories published immediately after the war and wrote his own memories. He talked to us a lot on those trips.

My dad was a Japanese prisoner of war and part of the group that built Konyu cutting (Hell Fire Pass). He said his tropical leg ulcers were treated by sitting with his leg in the river and they were cleaned by tiny fish.
