River Kwai Park & Resort

Four of us stayed in two bungalows in August. This was a last minute booking, as the first one that we went to was atrocious. The staff were very friendly. We explored and went to the raft on the River Kwai, where we met a Thai family and were offered food and drink. We love Thai people! Eventually we went to relax in our room. The only negative thing we would note is that there is no indoor shower. With mosquitoes and privacy, we would have much preferred an indoor shower. It is "private" and there is a large bathrub with a shower had attachment inside. We swam in the pool, had dinner at the restaurant, and played some table tennis. The food at the restaurant was okay. The hotel staff drove us to the entrance on their golf cart the next morning and we took the city bus to Erawan. It was timely and really cheap. We had smoothies across the street at one of the Muslim restaurants while we waited. When we returned, we had dinner at the same restaurant where we'd had smoothies. We had lamb kebabs and rotis. This was some of the best food that we have had in Thailand in the 6. months we've lived here. It was incredible!!! We would recommend this resort for budget travellers, but recommend that you rent a motorbike in Kanchanaburi first so that you're not limited in what you can explore while you're staying in this beautiful area.
