Our stay at the Floathouse River Kwai was an unforgettable experience, with stunning views and a unique setting right on the water. The rooms were spacious and clean, with ample amenities for a comfortable stay. While the dining options were decent, they could have been better in terms of variety and temperature. The tours were a bit pricey, and service from some staff could have been improved, but overall, we loved the atmosphere and would definitely recommend it.

This resort offers a beautiful riverside experience with cozy rooms and a warm inviting atmosphere. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making our stay enjoyable. However, the breakfast buffet could use better food coverage to prevent pests, and the cocktails were overpriced with little alcohol. Additionally, there were some disturbances during breakfast due to construction noise, which detracted from the overall experience.
