River Kwai Jungle Rafts

“Beautiful, Unique Experience”

Quite simply, one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed. The rafts are meticulously kept, with beautiful flowers everywhere you look, delicious food and cocktails and lovely attentive staff. There's such a beautiful charm to the rooms being without electricity - after several days in Bangkok, going to sleep to just the sound of the river with my phone turned off felt really grounding (which probably says a lot about me, but I expect I'm not alone in my phone-over-usage.) We felt so safe and chilled out, too, Ieaving our books and devices and things largely just on the table outside our rooms as we breezed in and out to lay on hammocks/chill on our personal little river balcony. Don't miss the chance to enjoy Mon Culture. The tour of the village from Bli (apologies for any misspelling) was so informative and unlike anything else we saw in Thailand. The dance show of the night was wonderful, really special to immerse yourself in a culture I regrettably knew little about going in. Really appreciated the high effort that went into the show from all involved, especially the host himself and the wonderful candle dancer. Highly recommend while your there! Finally, the simple pleasure of jumping into the River Kwai and drifting with the tide (before climbing back on and doing it over and over again) was superb.

“Awesome experience”

What a place and what an experience. The lighting situation could be slightly better at night but otherwise it was great and the staff made it super easy.

“Total tranquility”

We stayed here as part of a tour visiting hell fire pass and the "death" railway. The different feeling provoked by the both were poles apart. The horror of man's inhumanity was moving but the calm experienced at this hotel was soothing. Staff were attentive but not intrusive, food simple but extremely tasty and satisfying. The room basic but somehow fulfilling. The sound of running water extremely soothing. The whole experience was soooo relaxing after 3 nights in Bangkok..... Ps the village tour is a must!

We spent one night at River Kwai Jungle Rafts and it was a very memorable experience. The setting is beautiful—floating on the river and surrounded by jungle—and arriving by longtail boat makes it feel special from the start. In the evening, everything is lit by oil lamps, which creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere. It’s worth knowing this is a simple, eco-style stay. There’s no electricity in the rooms and access is only by boat, so it may not suit everyone. We’d particularly suggest considering the access and facilities if you prefer a bit more comfort or have any mobility concerns. The river current is also quite strong, so take care if you plan to swim. We enjoyed the experience for a short stay, and the included meals were good. Overall, a great choice if you’re looking for something different and don’t mind trading some comfort for a unique setting.
