River Kwai Jungle Rafts offers a unique stay amidst the natural beauty of Erawan National Park, combining the comfort of a 3-star facility with an immersive jungle experience. Here’s what you can expect from this distinctive hotel.

Charming Bamboo Rafts on the Kwai River

Erawan National Park, with its waterfalls, rivers, and lush forests teeming with birds, is a hidden gem in Kanchanaburi. River Kwai Jungle Rafts stands out in the park, featuring wooden cabins floating on bamboo rafts. Inside, you'll find carefully selected wooden furnishings and private bathrooms, while outside, panoramic terraces open up to the water and greenery. The eco-friendly approach is evident, with oil lamps and candles providing light. The accommodation blends seamlessly with the environment, ensuring a tranquil and soothing stay. The only sounds you’ll hear are the calls of gibbons, the roar of elephants being fed by tourists, or the splash of paddles during canoeing or boat excursions. River Kwai Jungle Rafts is a perfect choice for those seeking to marvel at nature, recharge, and return home with unforgettable memories from an ecotourism trip to Erawan Park.

Location of the hotel

The hotel is situated in the heart of the park. From downtown Kanchanaburi, it takes about an hour by car to reach Phutakian Pier. From there, board a long-tail boat and request to be dropped off at the River Kwai Jungle Rafts. All local boat operators are familiar with the hotel, and the boat ride takes about 20 minutes.

An English-speaking receptionist will assist you with reservations and provide additional information. Note that pets are not allowed on the property.

For a peaceful vacation away from the crowds in Erawan National Park, note this address: Baan, Tha Sao, Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi 71150, Thailand.

Rooms and suites

Comfort is adequate but not luxurious: western-style toilets, lounge furniture, and a bed covered with a mosquito net for a good night’s sleep. Each morning, you'll receive a bottle of water. The room also includes a vanity table, wardrobe, coat hanger, and mirror.

The hotel emphasizes decor, aiming to provide a unique stay in the Thai jungle. Bamboo fiber walls and locally crafted wooden furniture create an authentic experience, resembling traditional Môn village houses.

FLOATING RAFT RESTAURANT

The Floating Raft Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with Thai and Western dishes in an extraordinary setting.

Enjoy your meals in the serene ambiance of a starry night, illuminated by candles on the tables, while the river flows softly beneath you.

The restaurant features Thai and Môn-inspired dishes, with the chef using only local ingredients from nearby villages.

JUNGLE BAR

Relax at the Jungle Bar after a day of exploring! A friendly bartender will serve your choice of drink, whether it’s wine, beer, cocktails, or non-alcoholic beverages!

Sawa Discovery’s review

- River Kwai Jungle Rafts, with its bamboo cabin concept, is an ideal retreat for immersing yourself in nature, escaping modern life, and experiencing the magic of Thailand’s tropical forests. Combining "luxury" and "simplicity" might seem like an oxymoron, but the hotel achieves this balance successfully.

- The hotel supports environmental causes. All buildings are designed with ecological respect and powered by renewable energy.
