Searching...

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 to fall back on....Had a blast! Very relaxing, sat on the porch, watched people jump off the bridge and flow by our room (my husband did too!! I got cold feet...)Food was OK, nothing special, so we walked out of the resort - found just outside a nice local who made us yummy pad-thai ....Funky toilets - water flushes straight to the river where hungry fish await..

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 or just stay in your hammock watching the river.Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. Food is ok.Make sure you dont bring all of your luggage since the space on the longtailboats are limited. A small backpack with basic equipment should be enough for 1 or 2 nights.

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 to leave

A wonderful place to visit, relax, and refresh, whether it be from a business trip or part of a tour. The food is great, the service and friendliness of the Staff is wonderful. ( BYOB ) There is no electricity, but you won't miss it. The only noises are the jungle birds, an occasional Elephant, and the sound of the river rushing by or a rain beating down ( but you will be under a canopy )The gentle sway of the Raft ( we had an end room ) will put you to sleep ! The opportunity to explore the Mon Village adjacent to the rafts is unique.Sitting and rocking on a hammock while a ( short ) Jungle Rainfall beats thunder on the river is almost as nice as watching the Elephants drinking from the river at the back door of your floating room.

If you are looking for a place to switch off and relax - this is it!We stayed there for two nights as part of a 7 day trip and absolutely loved it.There is no electricity which is no problem during the day and at night everything is lit up by oil lamps which makes for a really nice atmosphere. I really enjoyed this time to switch of my phone and just sit in the hammock all day and read and chill. You can also jump into the river on the one end and let the current drag you along all the way to the last raft where you climb out again. From all the place we saw during this trip, this was my personal favorite!!
