A remote, quiet & tranquil resort, surrounded by greenery, located along the banks of river kwai. you need to pass through a short 5-10min of dirt road before reaching the resort. resort is clean, and serves nice BBQ & mookata for dinner (a little on pricey side). breakfast is also delicious. good sized rooms & comes with large bathtub. amenities such as towels, shampoo & insect repellent are also provided. 2 storey rooms (slp 4), unfortunately only comes with 1 bathroom. staffs can provide recommendations for sightseeing in the area (via msg) and they are quite responsive. staffs are all friendly & helpful, but eng. comm. is limited.
Four of us stayed at the River Kwai Resotel resort over the Christmas holiday. Our rooms were bungalow-style with a shared porch. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. The shower was very large and the amenities were adequate. They replenished the coffee/tea daily in addition to the waters. Even though other bungalows are very near, they do a great job of landscaping to block the views between them. Breakfast was ample. The restaurant is quite good, especially with its Thai offerings. They have 2 nice swimming pools. The one near reception is a smaller size while the one to the west of the main area is quite large. We enjoyed many swims. There are bikes available for use on grounds. They have some lounge chairs below at their dock. You can arrive by boat or car. The drive in is quite long and through a very rural area. It's quite amazing when you reach the end of the road and see this entire resort unfold. We spent some time and a little money at the neighboring Mon village. Walking up to the caves at the small, national park was also fun. Lots of up & down walking at the resort, too, as it's built into a steep, river valley hillside. Other than the bats at the cave, we didn't see much wildlife. There are a nice assortment of birds attracted to this resort area, however, and the morning serenade is lovely. They do have a small snack hut but the prices reflect that you are quite some distance from any competition. We all enjoyed our stay and do plan to return another time.
If you love nature, this is the place for you! However, the hotel needs refurbishment. The villa looks tired and needs freshen up. So, no matter how good the room attendants clean the room, it still looks unclean. And the bonus is they have their own museum!!! The spa house needs an upgrade, the view is beautiful but inside needs renovation, no privacy esp when you do oil massage. Dinner buffet is good but should have different choices on the second night. Staff are helpful though
This hotel offers a delightful experience. The outdoor bathtub was a highlight, especially during sunset, creating a truly memorable moment. Additionally, the delicious moo kata added to the overall enjoyment of the stay. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique and enchanting retreat! ☺️
