Had one night at the rafts whilst visiting Kanchanburi and loved our stay. We had two double rooms for our family of 4 and found them to be as described. Mosquito nets and reasonably comfortable beds with a little bathroom at the back. Loved the hammocks and seating outside. It was quite dark in the rooms even during the day though but they had everything we needed. It was obviously quite hot at night without aircon/fans but we knew that was part of the experience. The staff were very helpful and we enjoyed watching the Mon dance in the evening as well as exploring the Mon village and meeting their elephant, Mondi (?), who joined us all at breakfast time. Lovely feeding him the left over fruits. The evening meal was tasty and lovely to sit right by the river. However, during breakfast, we were absolutely plagued by wasps who were literally everywhere. It was very unpleasant and in the end, we just grabbed some breads and went back to our room as it was impossible to eat with so many wasps. Not sure if this was a one off or a regular occurrence so be prepared! However, all in all, a fabulous stay and we loved the remoteness and the stars at night. The journey by boat each way was also super exciting so definitely recommend here for a slightly different experience.

A wonderful experience for all. We had a fantastic overnight stay here, arrived by long tail boat and it was amazing. We were greeted by friendly staff & our rooms were ready. Such a tranquil place for rest & relaxation. The atmosphere in the evening was made perfect with paraffin lamps and the food was delicious. We watched a short show by local dancers after dinner. In the morning we got to feed an elephant breakfast. All in all a fabulous stay and I thoroughly recommend a visit.

“A truly amazing relaxing experience. Great value for money.”

Wow what a place. I haven’t been so relaxed since I can’t remember when. The food is delicious and the staff are amazing and beautiful people.

Wow what a place. I haven’t been so relaxed since I can’t remember when. The food is delicious and the staff are amazing and beautiful people. There is an interesting story about the people who run and work here. They are the Mon people and their story is inspirational. Easier to Google their story than me taking up this with it. The rooms and the whole place is very clean. Breakfast and dinner are included in the room rate making it a very affordable stay. There are loads of fun activities to do on the famous river Kwai. In the morning an elephant turns up to be fed but the guests. A truly wonderful experience. There is no electricity in the rooms but they have a hut with lots of power points to charge you stuff. There is WiFi so not totally cut off from the world. It’s it’s a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of this crazy world. It’s like stepping back in time a bit really. The sound of the river current under the huts is so soothing. My girlfriend and I will be back for sure. Oh the Mon people speak English, some better than others but easy to communicate.

“Lovely.....even though we got unlucky ”

The good stuff...... as idealic as it sounds, comfy beds, mozzy nets, basic but functioning bathrooms, a unique way to stay, you can hear the jungle at night, the food is great for dinner and the staff are lovely.

The good stuff...... as idealic as it sounds, comfy beds, mozzy nets, basic but functioning bathrooms, a unique way to stay, you can hear the jungle at night, the food is great for dinner and the staff are lovely. A kind man even brought me ice late one night when I foolishly slipped down the small stair to the bathroom. The bad stuff.....our first night was shared with a large group of students and their teachers. The teachers watched their football loudly on an ipad til late and then left all the teens drinking cocktails, and running up and down between the "charging hut" til passed midnight. Not what anyone else came for. If you're lucky with the others booking with you, you'll have a great time
