After travelling for 4.5 weeks in Europe and then almost 2 weeks in Thailand we came upon this resort with no definite expectations. We found peace, tranquility, excellent accommodation and food and lovely friendly hosts. We wished we had booked for longer but unfortunately were only able to stay 1 night. After the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, Chiang Mai... more

Paradise along the river Kwai! This is a great resort. A wonderful place to relax. The staff is very friendly, garden and pool are beautiful and the bungalows are spacious, clean and wonderfully decorated. There is a wide choice of breakfast and the restaurant is great for lunches and dinining. I would definitely go there again! more

My wife and I spent five wonderful nights here and recommend it to anyone looking for a retreat from the bustle of Bangkok and Kanchanaburi itself.

We just loved the personal service - the fact that the owners took the trouble to introduce themselves to new guests and to engage in conversation about themselves and what to see in the locality. We arrived... more

We, 2 couples from Holland, stayed at the Oriental Kwai Resort for 2 nights and it was too short ! We loved everything about this place. The beautiful garden, the well-decorated bungalows, the food, the quiet and relaxing atmosphere but most of all we liked Djo and his staff (his wife was in Holland, so we didn't meet her). Djo... more

We loved this place. We are a family of 5, with 3 children aged from 6 to 13. We stayed two nights in the family bungalow, overlooking the river.

We had planned to go into Kanchanaburi for dinner but were compelled to eat at the... more
