The rafts were good & it was very relaxing. We were not told that if we wanted western food it had to be ordered the day before. I was a bit shocked to find we had kerosene lamps for the (Wooden) rooms to find that they leaked & so could not be taken into the room at night. Beds hard.
Reservation service:
Ok no problem but didn't know how we were meant to get the booked boat to the rafts. A bit more information would have helped, but it was a graet experience

Accommodation and facilities:
Well, I have never left a negative feedback in my life but I feel I have to. It was the biggest dissapointment ever. The price for the room is soo expensive and then they even charge extra 900 Baht for taking you to the hotel...so if you want to get there you have no other options but to pay. And if you complain over the phone,don tbe surprised if they hang up on you. There are a number of days out they organise but the price they ask for it is far far expensive. The dinner is served between 7- 7.30 which leaves you with no chance really. The quality of the food was ok, but for the price you d expect at least fine dining :) It's a shame though because the location is awesome and the rooms are nice,but I think they ve gone far with the prices. If you have a wallet full of money choose it,otherwise stay away.
Reservation service:
Very helpful however they should have warn people about not choosing the room without boat transfer option,as you cannot go otherwise to the hotel.

Accommodation and facilities:
The Jungle River Rafts have no electric, internet, hot water or air-conditioning, all amenities that I consider essential in my everyday existence. But this is what makes the resort so unique and a special retreat from the hustle and bustle. This was my 17th visit since 1977 which is probably the best possible endorsement. There have been many extensions and improvements since my first visit, including massage facilities, but these have only added to the wonderful charm of the resort. The staff are all very friendly, processional and eager to please. There are various excursions available and the tour guides, some of whom were born here, speak excellent English and are keen to explain and share the intriguing history of the Jungle River Rafts. In grading the resort below please take into account my very first sentence stating that there is no electric, internet, hot water of air-conditioning but this adds to the unique appeal.
Reservation service:
Efficient and professional.

4 of us stayed at the River Kwai floating rafts hotel. Although the drive from Bangkok was very long it was well well well worth it upon arrival. The Location is breathtaking and the hotel was beautiful. Although i have never been to hotel with no electric before it was an experience and one i enjoyed as it was not needed. The wildlife there was amazing and the staff were very friendly and also very funny at times. 10 out of 10 and a high recommend for anyone thinking of a quiet get away.

This Tour was fantastc!! An adventure for all!!The long boat ride, the history,the bamboo raft, the staff, all was excellent. The elephant ride was a bit boring but I can say I did it, 30 minutes would have been plenty or a splash with the elephant in the river would of been more exciting. The floating hotel without electricity was clean and rusticly romantic. The food could be a lot better at the Jungle rafts. It was cold and made me wonder how long it had been standing out. No one got sick but it was lacking. I would definatly do this tour again because other than the food it was fabulous!!

The River Kwai Jungle Rafts were exactly what we needed after having spent some action packed days in Chiang Mai. We arrived at the rafts after a long night of travelling and were delighted to discover our lovely room and sun deck. Immediately we lay up on the sun beds by the river to soak up the peacefulness and tranquility of the river, enjoying the view of the riverside jungle. The rooms were simple and clean, with comfortable beds. The only minor drawback was cold showers - although this was wuickly forgotten as we took in the overall ambience and enjoyed the relaxing atmospher the rafts offered. The staff were pleasant and helpful.The meals provided were plentiful and tasty. The raft's manager assisted our travelling party to organise trips to the Tiger Temple and Erawan Waterfall. We had a idyllic stay at the River Kway Jungle Rafts and would recommend it to those wanting some time out to enjoy a slower pace of life.

The booking service was helpful and prompt with responding to queries.

Very disapointed! The situation of the hotel is fantastic, the hotel itself is very beautiful, but the second manager was the black point of our holidays: unpolite, unhelpfull, the dinner of New Year's Eve served in 10 minutes, the second manager was drinking whisky with his friends at the bar... We had a problem at the end of the stay and asked him to contact the company of the hotel, he's just refused. We spent time in different hotels in Bangkok, Ayutayah...In the River Kwai hotel, we were wondering where was the legendary thai warm welcoming, not here, that's sure. This hotel was just a big scandal!

What an incredible experience. This was our second visit to the Jungle Rafts and again we weren\ t disappointed. The rooms are basic but very comfortable. The food is all Thai and delicious and the service is outstanding. There is nothing better than no TV\ s, radios or even lights. Lanterns and candles are the only source of light at night time. The setting is just spectacular being surrounded by jungle and there are a number of fun activities around. Everything from walks to elephant back riding to the Mon Village show that they put on after dinner. All in all, its a wonderful break and highly recommended. Wouldn\ t take kids younger than 10 there though !!!!

Superb establishment that provides a truly wonderful experience. Tranquil and peaceful setting, good standard of rooms, and very attentive service from the team running the show. The food was excellent too, but be warned that you sit down to eat with all of the other guests in a school dinners type fashion. One caution, and sadly an experience that left a bad taste in our mouths somewhat sullying the overall experience..... When I booked via SiameServices.com I requested a pickup and paid 150Bht per person for my girlfriend and I; this included car from the Nam Tok Train station to the Resotel Pier, and Longboat from the Pier to the Rafts. When we were checking out of the Jungle Rafts we were very surprised to be asked for 900Bht for the Return Longtail journey. I explained that we had paid upfront for the inbound journey - which took some convincing even with eMail print outs - and we eventually had to pay 500Bht for our return Longtaill journey, followed by a further 500Bht to get from the Pier back to the Train Station. To hide these costs until the moment you are about to leave, when you have no other choice, felt a little dishonest , and somewhat mercenary. Work it out for yourselves: - 300Bht Car and Boat from SiameServices for Inbound journey - 900Bht Boat and Car from River Kwai Jungle Rafts

River Kwai Jungle Rafts
Accommodation and facilities:
Undoubtedly the most memorable of our Thailand-trip. Our second time at a raft-hotel in this area, but we will come again. No AC or hot water, in the middle of the jungle with its nice sounds and atmosphere. Nice food and perfect for combining excursions during the days and relaxing in the afternoon. Our children (6 & 9) loved the elephant ride and the swimming in the river. Our guide Boon was just great, and was very nice to our children too. We stayed 3 days/2 nights, but had both nights at the raft which we would do again as this allowed more peace and less moving around.

Accommodation and facilities:
This was an experience that exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere was incredible and our guide very knowledgable - not once did we feel he was rushing us to get to the next bit and he was able to answer any questions informatively and in very good English. I would recommend this venue to any one and would use it again myself in the future.
Reservation service:
Outstanding! We were reassured that our booking was procesed and further informed at every step of the way. We were picked up on time and delivered back to our hotel (different from our pickup) with a minimum of fuss and very quickly in spite of arriving in Bangkok in the early evening

Me and frens felt this place is unique nevertheless close to natural after run through web sites. But it is even more excited when we step in into River Kwai Jung Rafts. It is a wooden house that float on river with river in the front and short beach at the back. It was a great when i saw hammock, straight away i sat on it as i harly play with this since my childhood. You can just sit down and enjoy the natural beauty of rive kwai, the peace and rather cool wheather there. You can even jump into river and let the water current flow you to the end of the resort. The water is darn cool and it was really fun! I missed the experience in River Kwai Jungle Rafts when back to my home.

Accommodation and facilities:
Very peaceful with accommodating staff. We stayed two nights and would have liked to have stayed longer but as the extra night was not part of a package, proved to be much too expensive. The lamplight assured early nights as it was too dark to read. The bar however, remained open until quite late. Beware of overpriced optional tours. Face massage was to die for!! Excellent food included in the price. A very enjoyable experience and would recommend this to everyone of all ages, accept toddlers who could easily fall into the river.

We enjoyed the whole experience from the guided adventue tours to the food and my son especially liked waking up in the morning and jumping in the river for a float down stream. Feeding the elephants from the raft after breakfast was also a highlight. Highly recommended.

Accommodation and facilities:
we like the room and the environment. would recommend the 2days1night package. they only provide 2 small drinking water on arrival. so bring in your own drinking water would be good. or else you can purchase at the hotel bar which is slightly expensive than the town price. the guide of the hotel is friendly and nice. but the one who pick us up from the hotel in a van is no courteous at all. not even greet us or explaining where are we going. and we later find out that they are transferring us to another bus which has another great tour guide.
Reservation service:
no problem. they will contact you on the day before your visit date. if they cant reach you, they will leave a message at your hotel telling you the pick up time and contact detail if you have futher question.

Fantastic experience for our family of five. The children loved the place and facilities were great. We only had one night there so were unable to book room and half board WITH transfers. It was a little confusing for us to get ourselves there with no instructions. Please put the details on the web page. We took the train to Nam Tok then taxi to resotel pier (300bht), from there we took a long tail boat to the rafts and paid for the boat at the rafts. There are plenty of taxis at the train station and at the pier so dont let the hotel arrange your taxi from the pier back to Nam Tok they change 500bht.

Accommodation and facilities:
The Jungle Rafts were excellent, and one of the most memorable stays in out trip around Thailand. We took the three day package that incorporated a final night at the Resotel, which unfortunately was not a good finish to an otherwise excellent tour. Our recommendation is to stick to the two day tour, particularly if you like Thai food, as that served at the Resotel is very bland, european toned stuff. The trip back to Bangkok also took over 5 hours, with only one stop along the way.
Reservation service:
We booked virtually our whole trip around Thailand via SiameServices, and the system and the support staff have been excellent throughout.

Accommodation and facilities:
It was a great experience staying at the Jungle Rafts and so peaceful... the accommodation is basic but is made up by the scenery and the staff who are so obliging and friendly. To stay at the rafts you have to be prepared for no electricity and only basic bathroom facilities but it is a great experience for a couple of days. Swimming in the river was a highlight just drifting with the flow and taking in the sights. The 6 of us had a great time.
Reservation service:
SiameServices booking sevice was exceptional with no hassles and the guide who looked after us was great..I would recommend siameservices favourably as a tour organiser. Thanks for your great communication and reputable service.

River Kwai Jungle Rafts
Accommodation and facilities:
We spent one night at the Jungle Rafts with 2 children (6 and 8). We booked 2 rooms but 1 room had been enough (1 single bed and 1 double bed (the double one fits 2 children and an adult). The children enjoyed floating in the river with the life jackets provided by the hotel. A 5 minute walk leads to a tribal village where we had a little elephant walk. At night the elefants from the village came bathing in the river next to the rafts and the children got to feed them with the fruit leftovers from dinner We left Bangkok for Kanchanaburi in the morning,there we took the train to Nam Tok. In Nam Tok a taxi (Pick-up truck) drove us to the Resotel Pier (15 minute drive / 300 Baht) We booked a boat transfert from the Resotel pier in advance and there was a little confusion because the person with the boat did not speak or could not read English so he did not understand that we did not have to pay and could not read the reservation form either. We combined the stay at the rafts with a trip to the Erawan waterfalls before going back to Kanchanaburi and Bangkok the next day. At the rafts they arranged a taxi to Erawan where we had a nice swim in the waterfalls. The taxi driver waited for us to take us further to the busstation in Kanchanaburi where we took the bus to Bangkok. 2 perfect days, so much nature and wildlife at only a few hours from Bangkok ! The only minor thing were the many wasps during breakfast.
Reservation service:
Nice booking service. Since we booked through internet and since it was the first time we got to Thailand, I did not really know what to expect, but everything worked out perfectly. Thanks !

Stayed on the Jungle Rafts with the 2day 3 night package. Rafts were the best thing that we did in Thailand They are spotless even though there is no electricity. Service is fantastic and meals were unbelievable given that there is no electricity for cooking. Everything was organised to perfection the guides were friendly and it was a very family like atmosphere, most staff knew our names and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The river rafts were the highlight of our trip. The kids were looked after beautifully and loved everything about the rafts including the cave and waterfall trips. To wake up with elephants bathing outside your door is a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend the rafts to anyone particularly families looking for something a little different to the resort thing.

River Kwai Jungle Rafts
Accommodation and facilities:
The whole concept of the rafts was a unique experience. We actually booked an extra night/free day in addition to a 3D/2N tour in which we could do whatever we wanted to and just relax. The atmosphere was great barring a few unruly tourists. The male staff were a bit brash but we had an excellent guide assigned to us (ask for Blai if you re planning this trip). We thought it was going to be difficult to sleep at night due to the rafts not having any electricity but it was surprisingly pleasant and chilly too. Lots of optional tours to keep you busy if you get bored although everything else apart from your tour is extra $$. All in all, really good fun!
Reservation service:
Booking was made for 3 people but when we were ready for pickup, it was listed as only 2 by the people that picked us up as well as when we arrived at the rafts. Despite that, since i had my confirmation slip, there was no real issue and everything else went as planned.

This place is excellent! The staff were great, keeping dinner hot for us even though we arrived several hours late (the map is misleading, this place is a mission to get to from Kanchunaburi! You also need money for taxi from Nam Tok and 700B for boat) but the hotel was very helpful over the phone, even talking to a local who had to give us a life to the pier to get the boat as there were no taxis by the time we got there! Once you make it there, you re in the middle of a jungle on a floating hotel, very romantic for couples, no electricity just lanterns everywhere, and the village on the shore is very nice. Would definately recomend this place to anyone willing to make the journey!

We had a nice time at the Jungle Rafts, but we had not foreseen that it would be so cold there in February. We had left our travelling clothes (which were the only clothes that was a little bit warm)in Kanchanaburi as we normally pack them in the bottom of the suitcase when we arrive in Thailand and don't touch them till we go home. But here I was cold from the sun set till long after it reappeared. But the experience was nice and quiet, though rustic.

We never used our reservation, because we didn't read the information about the place properly. The info says, that transportation is from Resotel Pier at 14.00. We had not realized (it doesn't come up in the info easily), that the pier was 70 km off Kanchanaburi, ie. 2-hour bus journey. That is no problem, if you are moving with a group and a bus, but for individual tourists that would have made our itineraries impossible.

What a great place to spend a night by lamp light with very attentive staff. Next time I would stay at least 2 nights. Plenty to do or just relax by the river. What an experience. After dark the long boats stopped running up and down the river so it was so peaceful. The villagers who operate the rafts were very friendly and the after dinner entertainment by the young people from the village were great. No electricity or hot showers but that was not a problem as we swam in the river and went to bed early listening to the water lapping the rafts. All organization was great including the bus drivers, tour guides, long boat drivers and rafts staff. Would do this tour again. Plenty of food at all meals including a hearty breakfast of pork and eggs and toast.

We really enjoyed the entire trip, even though we actually ended up staying at the Resotel, as my parents had booked seperately, but they were very accomodating at changing us to that accomodation, which was great. The only downside was the food, when we arrived we had lunch, by that time is was about 2 in the afternoon and I figure the buffet lunch food had been sitting there since 12. Needless to say my partner and I both came down with horrible gastro / food poisioning and I started being sick on the bus on the way back to Bangkok and continued throwing up for about 24 hours after that, which kind of took the edge off our enjoyable holiday. Considering that during other parts of our trip we ate regularly from road style food stalls I was a bit disspointed to get sick from what I saw as an organised and classy establishment. In future they need to ensure that any buffet lunch foods are kept at a high tempreture to ensure others don't get sick. Apart from that aspect I would recommend this trip to anyone as it was loads of fun, and the guides were really great (mainly the local one) and told us a lot of interesting facts!
