“We love Bli and Pat!!”

WOW!! We’re only 5 days into our 2 month trip and this might go down as the best experience we’ll have. We chose the 2 day 1 night package and don’t regret it at all. Learning about the POWs and building the railway was so eye opening but what really stood out to us was the staff at the hotel and... more

WOW!! We’re only 5 days into our 2 month trip and this might go down as the best experience we’ll have. We chose the 2 day 1 night package and don’t regret it at all. Learning about the POWs and building the railway was so eye opening but what really stood out to us was the staff at the hotel and learning about the Mon people. Bli is such an amazing tour guide and you can tell how much his people respect him and how close he is to everyone. The hotel employs all the mon people from the attached village and Bli teaches them English at night time. Swimming and the mon village tour is a must do!! And Pat was so warm and open and we wish the best for him in life!! Couldn’t recommend this experience enough. They now have a communal charging station so no need to worry about bringing power banks. Also wake up early to feed the village elephant breakfast (her name is Wande and she’s 55 year old gentle girl) such a worthwhile experience!!!

PICK UP. We found the service to be quick, attentive and on time a guide was there for all your questions and answer. BOAR RIDE. We were picked up by Thai longtail boat trip around 15/20 minutes journey if your lucky u will see birds and a water Buffalo grazing on the waterside.Awesome way of seeing things u can only see from the water.(BRILLIANT) ARRIVAL. Found check in simple and easy also given a quick talk about house rules and what was going to happen for the rest of the day. ROOM. Be prepared for a very basic room no power or anything yes it can get warm and uncomfortable but thats the whole experience (NOT FOR EVERYONE) but if u don’t try it well u r not living life.We stayed in room 121. MON DANCE. This is a Villagers/Staff doing this dance it has a similar to Bali etc but it’s there own way of expressing where ther they came from and how they became Mon People we both found this to be interesting/Beautiful and well just Brilliant (Welll done to all and thank you for sharing) BAR. As people have expressed drinks on the high side but you can also bring your own with u before your stay starts and drink at your room just ask for some ice as u will need it.Cocktails around 160 and beer 100 small bottles. Also water dispenser to fill your bottle up . STAFF. Not sure why people have to make cheap shots at other remember u r guests in there house we found that all staff were brilliant in there own special way - the young ladies and men serving us were brilliant always having a smile and just being very attentive. OVERALL. There r other p[laces to stay on the river with all the modern cons but give this place a chance and we both would say u wont be disappointed and if u r well there no pleasing everyone.

Be prepared for a great experience. We went in blind without much research. It was a 20min boat ride from the jetty to Jungle Rafts Resort. Upon arrival, we were given our room keys and briefed on meal times, jump into the river activity SOP, house rules etc No electricity at all, so don’t forget your power bank(s) and headlamps / torchlights. Each room came with a battery operated lamp and candle but it might not be sufficient for some. Each room has a double bed + single bed complete with mosquito netting, comes with an attached bedroom, has a back balcony as well as a front area complete with lazy chairs and hammock. Weak mobile coverage. If you really need to charge your devices, a short walk to the “charging tower” is possible. WiFi coverage available at lobby area only. Quite a number of activities can be done - day trips to nearby attractions, walk to the nearby Mon Village or just laze around. We purchased a package which comes with breakfast + dinner + 1 complimentary activity per day. Lunch is separate. Had a great time and would return if had the chance.

“A unique experience staying on the river.”

This was an incredible experience. There is a boat that takes you up the river (past swimming lizards, monkeys, and bat caves), to floating cabins, with dinner and breakfast provided. So unique!

This was an incredible experience. There is a boat that takes you up the river (past swimming lizards, monkeys, and bat caves), to floating cabins, with dinner and breakfast provided. So unique! I enjoyed jumping off the one end and floating down to the other end of the cabins. No mosquitos! Each room has a hammock outside. Fall asleep to the sound of flowing water.
