River Kwai Jungle Rafts
The unique River Kwai Jungle Rafts is a floating hotel – a hotel built on a raft – that will transform your perception of luxury. The flotel is securely anchored in the Kwai River with a walkway to the riverbank.
In the hinterland, a short distance from the flotel, lies an ethnic Mon village which you can visit. The Mon people originally hail from Myanmar, and you will have the opportunity to experience their culture and traditions up close. Many Mon men work as mahouts, so you will also find elephants in the village.
The flotel has two sections comprising a total of 100 bamboo huts. Rooms are simply furnished with comfortable beds and mosquito nets, as well as a hand-held fan, torch, vanity table, bottled mineral water, and life jacket. The rooms have no electricity, and consequently, there is no minibar or Wi-Fi. On your private veranda, you can relax in a hammock while enjoying the view of the calm river with towering bamboo along the banks and wild orchids in the trees. You can also take a refreshing dip straight from the veranda or paddle a canoe. Each room features its own bathroom with a toilet, toiletries, and a cold-water shower.
When the velvet darkness of the tropical night falls, the sounds become enchanting and the romantic atmosphere sets in. The cicadas start their chorus, the Mon people play music in the village, and the water murmurs beneath the flotel, which is illuminated solely by oil lamps.
Meals are served as delicious Thai dishes in a cosy, open restaurant overlooking the river. When night descends, the place is lit by lanterns, creating a magical ambience.
A stay at River Kwai Jungle Rafts is an experience of a lifetime!
