About the hotel:
Lodge was very relaxing. A bit of a trek getting there but well worth it. 2-3 days is perfect. I would suggest hiring a private taxi to drop you off at the dock if you are traveling with a large party. Comes out about the same.

really nice hotel in an amazing spot. You can even swim in the river. The hotel is 80 km out of Kanchanaburi and an hours drive away. No bridge in sight....

About the hotel:
Ich war nach fünf Jahren erneut auf den River Kwai Jungle Rafts; diesmal zusammen mit meiner Freundin und für drei Tage. Nur ein Tag in dieser traumhaften Anlage mittem im Paradies ist einfach viel zu wenig. Auf Strom und AC muß man zwar verzichten, aber alles andere ist einfach wunderschön!! Tipp: unbedingt im River baden gehen!!!
About the reservation service:
Wie immer sehr einfach. Es werden mehrere Touren ab/bis Bangkok angeboten; dabei ist es eigentlich egal, welche man wählt.
