The Hmong dance show was very impressive. I don't think you can experience the culture of another country in such a natural setting anywhere else. I'm sure you'll be able to let go of the things that are overflowing in the city, immerse yourself in simple thoughts, and find a new you.

Eco Excellence

This was such a unique stay on our trip to Thailand. The trip down the River Kwai to get to the floatel was peaceful, and turning the river bend to see the floating rafts was a beautiful view. Being amongst nature with wonderful local staff and delicious, simple food combined with the total switch off from the digital world created a recuperative environment for us to relax and recharge. The local activities were also unique to the area and off the beaten track from what we were used to. We would happily stay here again!
Wendy is a beautiful lady, who greets you each morning in exchange for some food. The village looks after her and she is very well loved.
What a welcoming view!
Switch off to the sounds of the river beneath.
Outside of the Buddha image cave just a short stroll from the floatel.

Take a torch!

The accommodation is very dark even during the day. It’s very basic and tired. Lots of the wood needs replacing. Doesn’t look the photos on the website. Food was very poor Eco due to no electricity but all the shampoo, shower gel etc all go straight into the river? Dodgy floor boards in toilet which smelled of pee when wet. Only 2 sun beds and 2 hammocks per 4 rooms with a potential capacity of 12 people We cut our stay short, not our really our cup of tea

Amazing and beautiful 2 night stay

We had such an amazing 2 night stay at the Jungle rafts. In such an idyllic location on the river kwai which was so picturesque. Was easy to find using a grab from Bangkok then the boat from the pier. We loved feeding the elephant early in the morning. Food provided for breakfast and dinner was delicious authentic thai food and there was plenty. We had a thai sim and there is signal and 5G but also wifi in the breakfast area if needed. We did a boat tour to the cave and Sai Yok waterfalls, which was great day - we joined with another couple to make this cheaper which worked out well! The staff are all friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed a thai massage, mon dancing and a hike to the local mon village. We had no neighbours during our stay so had the whole dock to ourselves with 2 sunbeds, hammock and a table. The only down side was the heat on the first night, it was around 38 degrees in the day and was extremely hot in the bungalows obviously no electricity for fans or AC but it we unbearable we could not sleep, much better on the 2nd night after some rain in the evening to cool down the bungalow - may be worth staying in the cooler months. Also the bungalows are very dark even during the day with just one small battery powered lamp and torch on keys for light, was very difficult to see but manageable. Overall such an amazing experience in Thailand, something a bit different than the usual touristy spots to relax and soak up the beautiful country!

Great for rustic getaway with kids

Your opinion on this place has a LOT to do with your expectations. There are several of these along the river that are more exotic and romantic (more privacy), but this was still a great 1 night experience with our family. It is extremely rustic with thin walls and no electricity. Hard to sleep if you have noisy neighbors. BUT, the easy hike to the neighboring Mon village and seeing the local elephant gives this location an added bonus if you have kids. Food is good and location is clean. Personally, if it was my wife and I, I would have chosen a different location (like Float House), but I would choose this one again if it was with our kids. Also, 1 night was perfect. Not enough to do for multiple nights. Lastly...make sure to jump in the river...best part!!

No internet no phone only the current of the River

Its a relaxing experience 3 days without telephone and internet at a house boat in the River Kwai. 8 pm feels like midnight here. If you leave and you want a taxi or transport at the pier it will take time. Booking transport at The River Kwai Jungle Rafts is extremely expensive. They abuse their monopoly. So try your luck at the pier.
