We were welcomed by Evelien and het staff with cold drinks after a long trip by train and bus. We stayed in a very nice bugalow and the staff placed two extra beds as we were staying with two daughters. Everything you read in the reviews is true, it's just paradise. Very relaxing admosphere, the food is fantastic, also a... more

After our stay in Bangkok we were picked up at our hotel and went for a few days to Kanchanaburi. The owners, a Dutch couple, welcomed us warmly with handshakes and cool drinks. It is a small resort and the cottages have aircon, hot shower, all the necessary amenities like soap, shampoo, mosquito coils etc. Everything is clean. Not many... more

Awesome place to stay! Our family of four spent two nights in the family room at the Oriental Kwai. The setting was gorgeous, right along the river and the owners and staff catered to our every need. The pool was beautiful and so relaxing after a busy day touring the area. We wanted a place outside of the main town... more

We are self-confessed five star junkies. But lets face it, there is no such thing as a five star hotel in Kanchanaburi. So we took trip advisor's advice and stayed at the best rated resort in the area - Oriental Kwai. Wow! Before we left, I looked at every accessible photo on the internet of this place, and thought it... more

We stayed in the River Kwai Resort for 3 nights, and we wish we could have stayed longer. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to go and see the sights in the area, but also like the opportunity to relax and do nothing at all every now and again. There are hammocks, a lovely pool and... more

We arrived in the Oriental Kwai Resort after enjoying (suffering?) the busy pace of a few days in bustling Bangkok during the Songkran festival (Thai new year) during the hottest month of year. As soon as we arrived we were greeted non only by the kindness of our hostess (Evelien) but by a very nice and very refresh cold lemon... more

The Oriental Kwai Resort is a very nice family run resort. The owners, Joe & Evelien, are friendly, outgoing, and very hospitable. We stayed in a garden room cottage and it was very clean and tidy. Additionally, our cottage had a DVD player. Joe invited us to pick DVD’s from the resort’s library. During the day, the resort was very... more

Absolutely fantastic!! We stayed in the Oriental Kwai resort in the family room consisting of 2 bedrooms, with a fantastic river view. Everything about this resorts seems to match: great atmosphere, great service (they even put anti mosquito rings at your porch at night!!) and lovely food. The owners Evelyn and Joe are easy going and very service oriented. They... more
