The Hmong dance show was very impressive. I don't think you can experience the culture of another country in such a natural setting anywhere else. I'm sure you'll be able to let go of the things that are overflowing in the city, immerse yourself in simple thoughts, and find a new you.

Amazing and beautiful 2 night stay

We had such an amazing 2 night stay at the Jungle rafts. In such an idyllic location on the river kwai which was so picturesque. Was easy to find using a grab from Bangkok then the boat from the pier. We loved feeding the elephant early in the morning. Food provided for breakfast and dinner was delicious authentic thai food and there was plenty. We had a thai sim and there is signal and 5G but also wifi in the breakfast area if needed. We did a boat tour to the cave and Sai Yok waterfalls, which was great day - we joined with another couple to make this cheaper which worked out well! The staff are all friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed a thai massage, mon dancing and a hike to the local mon village. We had no neighbours during our stay so had the whole dock to ourselves with 2 sunbeds, hammock and a table. The only down side was the heat on the first night, it was around 38 degrees in the day and was extremely hot in the bungalows obviously no electricity for fans or AC but it we unbearable we could not sleep, much better on the 2nd night after some rain in the evening to cool down the bungalow - may be worth staying in the cooler months. Also the bungalows are very dark even during the day with just one small battery powered lamp and torch on keys for light, was very difficult to see but manageable. Overall such an amazing experience in Thailand, something a bit different than the usual touristy spots to relax and soak up the beautiful country!

Eco Excellence

This was such a unique stay on our trip to Thailand. The trip down the River Kwai to get to the floatel was peaceful, and turning the river bend to see the floating rafts was a beautiful view. Being amongst nature with wonderful local staff and delicious, simple food combined with the total switch off from the digital world created a recuperative environment for us to relax and recharge. The local activities were also unique to the area and off the beaten track from what we were used to. We would happily stay here again!
Wendy is a beautiful lady, who greets you each morning in exchange for some food. The village looks after her and she is very well loved.
What a welcoming view!
Switch off to the sounds of the river beneath.
Outside of the Buddha image cave just a short stroll from the floatel.

Take a torch!

The accommodation is very dark even during the day. It’s very basic and tired. Lots of the wood needs replacing. Doesn’t look the photos on the website. Food was very poor Eco due to no electricity but all the shampoo, shower gel etc all go straight into the river? Dodgy floor boards in toilet which smelled of pee when wet. Only 2 sun beds and 2 hammocks per 4 rooms with a potential capacity of 12 people We cut our stay short, not our really our cup of tea

War ein nettes Erlebnis, ohne Wiederholung.

Das Ressourt ist ein Erlebnis, aber die Preise vor Ort sind deutlich zu teuer und entsprechen nicht dem Umfeld der 2 wöchigen Thailandreise die wir hatten. z.B. kostete eine Kanutour von ca. 30 Minuten 50 EUR pro Person, das ist ca. das 3-4 Fache von dem was wir anderswo gezahlt hatten.

A fuir !

Les chambres sont extrêmement sombres. Même en journée il vous faudra une lampe pour vous diriger. Les matelas très durs, pas d'eau chaude. Les activités proposées sont toutes payantes et chères (kayak 1500, spectacle 160), rien n'est inclus (sauf baignade). Chaque "radeau" comporte 4 chambres soit potentiellement 12 personnes : vous devrez vous partager 2 hamacs et 2 transats. Pas de serviette pour se baigner. Aucune intimité. Nourriture quelquonque et servie froide. Service de transport à des prix exorbitants vous rendant prisonnier de l'hôtel : vous ne pouvez utiliser la navette gratuite que lors du check in / out. Sinon il faut payer 1000 par trajet. Vous serez aussi pris en hold up par les taxis (pas de grab). 400 de la gare au ponton et pas certain d'avoir un taxis dans l'autre sens (si oui sûrement plus cher). Un éléphant est visible au petit déjeuner. Vous le retrouverez dans le village Mon, attaché avec une chaîne ! Le personnel n'est pas désagréable mais pas attentionné, vous n'aurez certainement pas un bonjour durant le séjour. A tarif équivalent vous trouverez mieux. A prestation équivalente vous trouverez moins cher. Les avis booking sont plus parlants de la réalité. Notre pire séjour en Thaïlande.

Great for rustic getaway with kids

Your opinion on this place has a LOT to do with your expectations. There are several of these along the river that are more exotic and romantic (more privacy), but this was still a great 1 night experience with our family. It is extremely rustic with thin walls and no electricity. Hard to sleep if you have noisy neighbors. BUT, the easy hike to the neighboring Mon village and seeing the local elephant gives this location an added bonus if you have kids. Food is good and location is clean. Personally, if it was my wife and I, I would have chosen a different location (like Float House), but I would choose this one again if it was with our kids. Also, 1 night was perfect. Not enough to do for multiple nights. Lastly...make sure to jump in the river...best part!!

No internet no phone only the current of the River

Its a relaxing experience 3 days without telephone and internet at a house boat in the River Kwai. 8 pm feels like midnight here. If you leave and you want a taxi or transport at the pier it will take time. Booking transport at The River Kwai Jungle Rafts is extremely expensive. They abuse their monopoly. So try your luck at the pier.

It was a new experience with no electricity as I wasn't aware and didn't read much about the place. Spent three nights. But all went well and the staff were wonderfully amazing. Lots of food and I had to restrict them. Yes I would Like to visit again but... when the weather is cool.

We had a wonderful time here and were sad to leave when the trip was over! We spent the days exploring the nature trails and swimming in the river and the evenings looking at the stars. The hotel staff were so friendly and accommodating of our dietary restrictions. Many thanks to Sam and the rest of the team for making it an unforgettable stay!

幻想的なランプの明かりだけの生活が味わえます。

ジャングルラフトだけに、森の中に住むような部屋に電気がないホテルです。 部屋の中には携帯用ランプ（明かりは小さい）とカギにランプが付いています。 不便と感じたのは、湯が出ない、ドライヤーが使えない、携帯が充電できないこと。 バッテリーチャージを多めに持っていく事をお勧めします。 いざとなれば携帯の懐中電灯で明るくできます。 しかしランプの生活は想像以上に良く、目前の川、月を見ながら外で少し晩酌をしていましたが、日常から離れてこの上なく落ち着きました。 食事もその日の夜と次の日の朝に食べましたがおいしかったです。 電気が無い生活、一度はどうぞ！
