About River Kwai Jungle Rafts

We can guarantee you'll have never stayed anywhere quite like this!

The River Kwai Jungle Rafts are so perfectly unique, they feel like something you might have dreamt... The collection of bamboo rooms are secured on the River Kwai and offer an adventurous jungle base camp from which to explore the area. Romantic and picturesque, eco-friendly is the name of the game throughout the camp, with plenty of traditional bamboo interiors and not a kilowatt of electricity in sight. Days are spent lounging on your river deck, taking in the sounds and sights of the river - and if you get too hot, just jump in to cool off.

Property details

The property

The rafts are split into two sections and each enjoys its own bar and restaurant. Relax with a G&T as you take in the warm evening air either pre- or post-delectable foodie treat. The restaurants serve a mix of local Thai and Mon dishes and use nearby ingredients, so you'll really get the flavour of the area.

The rooms

The rooms here are simple but provide everything you could want. The natural bamboo decor and kerosene lamps will transport you back to a simpler time and the gentle burble of the river through the walls will lull you to sleep. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms, draped mosquito nets, a handheld fan, a dressing table, wardrobe, life jackets, and a torch to light your way at night.

Activities

Be sure to make the most of your watery surrounds with a long boat, canoe, or traditional bamboo boat journey along the river. Although, you could really do without the boats entirely and just pop on a life jacket as you submerge yourself into the river for a swim. Utter bliss on a warm day! Those who want to get under the skin of the local area can visit the nearby Burmese Mon community and find out about the traditional way of life in this unique corner of Thailand.

Why we love it

If you've come to make a pilgrimage to this famous river, you can't get much closer that having it run beneath your room...

Insiders Tip

Don't think too much about the quality of the bed linen; this experience is all about immersing yourself in nature and enjoying the simple things in life again.

Something to think about

No electricity means no aircon... but the cooling river breeze should more than help!
