We spent one night on a raft on the river Kwai during our tour from Bangkok to the north of Thailand, I must say it was a very interesting experience. The room was confortable and had a small terrace. The little island was very interesting and the food was good. Something to remember.

We wanted to have a different holiday & we certainly got it. We stayed at Hotel De Bangkok (which belongs to the same parent group) for a night. The next day, we were picked up by a bus which took us sightseeing around Kanchanaburi & then we were dropped off to a river jetty. From there we traveled by a... More

Stayed 1 night on the rafts. Rooms basic and clean. Mosquito net over both beds in room. 1 single 1 double. The food was basic and lots of it. Lots of the staff have little English but try. Some of the younger ones are bored and it shows. Our guide was Sam, English incredible with Aussie accent, 2 Dutch girls... More

Agree with other reviews staff really not interested. Don't do the evening show. 150 baht you would be better off spending on beer! Is more amateur than a children's school play actors didn't look at all interested.... Thankfully only 25 minutes long so pain was short lived! Floating down the river with life jackets on was lots of fun. If... More

We were in Bangkok on business and had a weekend to spare; reluctant to shop and sweat in the city, we took the 4 hour drive (roads were crowded with others escaping the city...) to Boutique Raft Resort River Kwai. I admit, we found the place on the web, and feared what we would find, as there were no alternatives... More

Such an amazing place, even without electricity and hot water which makes this place even more special and back to basic. After three days of Bangkok, this was surely a pleasant and relaxing stay for one night. You can float down the river with a lifejacket, watch hundreds of starts during the nights, seeing elephants, watching some traditional Mon dancingshow... More

Amazing experience. So beautiful & peaceful. Very relaxing. You can float down the river from end to end of the rafts. Wake up to elephants bathing outside ur room. And no NOISE except for nature. Great Thai massages. Perfection. There's no electricity or hot water. Plus the meals are all set. But the food was very good. Really didn't want... More
