Lovely Relaxation
I had a lovely experience at the spa during my stay. The massages were soothing, even if not as luxurious as I’ve had elsewhere. The atmosphere was serene, surrounded by nature, which added to the overall relaxation. It was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

Spacious Floating Villas
My floating villa was incredibly spacious and designed with comfort in mind. The large balcony was my favorite spot, providing a perfect view of the river and jungle. Each evening, I loved sitting there with a drink, enjoying the tranquil setting.

Unique Atmosphere
The blend of natural beauty and comfort was striking. The sound of the river gently flowing beneath the floating house created a peaceful background. I appreciated the high-speed Wi-Fi that allowed me to stay connected while enjoying this unique experience.

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.
