Best hotels in Kanchanaburi

Explore 7 handpicked hotels in Kanchanaburi

River Kwai Jungle Rafts

Kanchanaburi

From $160 per person/night
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.

The Float House River Kwai Resort

30 Rooms

From $190 per person/night
You can't get much closer to the River Kwai than this floating dream hotel.
If you're visiting Kanchanaburi we're willing to guess that the River Kwai might have something to do with your pilgrimage. If it is indeed your focus, you can't do much better than The Float House River Kwai Resort. Set right on the banks of the famous river, the hotel doesn't even have a pool, so close is the water that you can jump directly into the Kwai from your villa! Location-wise, it's an hour outside of Kanchanaburi and a cool (literally) spot to relax amidst the lush jungle. If you're after something a little different, this is your place.

From $150 per person/night
A rustic camp set in the heart of the area's turbulent history
History buffs hoping to learn more about Thailand's poignant past will find themselves well-placed at Hintok River Camp, set close to the infamous Hellfire Pass. The traditional tented camps might be simple, but they'll transport you back in time with their white canvas frames and decks to lounge on. The area is an interesting place to spend a few days, whether you're relaxing in the natural pool, soaking up the history, or exploring the nearby areas of jungle beauty. And the hotel is a peaceful spot to return to and gather your thoughts after a day absorbing stories of the Death Railway.
