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

We stayed at the Oriental Kwai for 3 nights in a River View Room. It was very spacious, the decoration was lovely and we felt very comfortable. Evelyn and Djoe are running a great business, the staff are wonderful, the food was extremely good and the pool is enormous and very relaxing more

After being recommended the Oriental Kwai by my sister-in-law and reading the reviews on Trip Advisor we could not wait to spend some time there. This is a small and perfectly run family complex of 10 new holiday bungalows right on the banks of the river Kwai. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and at... more

Our family recently stayed at the Oriental Kwai Resort while in Kanchanaburi. After a whirlwind day of touring the area (in the pouring rain), we finally settled in at the resort. What an incredible place! The rain finally let up and our boys were able to swim in the beautiful pool (after making friends with the family dog, Lola!). The... more

We arrived by train and phoned the O.K. and within 10 minutes we were picked up, provided with cold water and taken to the resort. We had no 1 bungalow which is beautiful- right on the river. It was spacious, very clean, well organised etc. The staff were very friendly, charming and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were great. The pool... more
