My husband and l decided to venture out to explore the Kanchanaburi area before heading to Phuket. We booked in at The Legacy River Kwai through our holiday club but had to find our own way there from Bangkok. Our porter at Siam@Siam organized for a taxi driver to take us there. We agreed upfront with the taxi driver to... More

First – the Legacy Resort should actually be considered more of a Retreat than a Resort. This is not a party place, it is a park full of log cabins with a central reception and restaurant. If you do not like nature, do not come here, because this is something different for those who want a truly Nature-filled experience in... More

The grounds and area is beautiful but don't go unless you have your own transportation! The spa was not in service when I was there. It seemed like a lot of big tour groups were coming and going. The hotel restaurant was nice but it is open air so lots of bugs!

Booked a week here, was ready to leave after the first night. The location is beautiful, set back in to the trees the rooms are really picture perfect, however. The unit we were in the a/c rattled constantly, and so did every unit we went by here. The first morning we were here woke up to water coming out of... More

We drove here from Survanarbhumi airport and believe me we actually found this place by midnight without a GPS . It took us 4 hrs to reach Kanchanaburi much tks to a faulty GPS rented from AVIS. It is not difficult to find Kanchanburi if you are willing to STOP and ASK. The major road sign are in English. It... More

The Legacy River Kwai in Kanchanaburi should be a cute hotel...but it's not !! The place is very beautiful and wild, the hotel is in the heart of a wood. It's a typical hotel, the rooms are actually small cabins located at different places in the forest : it's a so romantic idea...but only an idea !! Indeed, rooms aren't... More

On the plus side: The resort is well organised by a gang of walkie-talkie touting females. The gardens are vast and well looked after, and the food was pretty good. On the down side: This place really is in the middle of nowhere, even with a car, there is very little to do or see. The room bears no resemblance... More

Me and my family stayed at this hotel for 6 days. We had such a lovely time. The hotel is quite interior, but once you travel daily on the same way, we dont find it that far from the town. The hotel property is very huge with cottages around. The food is good and the staff is very helpful. There... More

The resort is in a remote location but it is very peaceful and relaxing and cabins are set against beautifully manicured gardens. The staff were very helpful and did their best to help even if they spoke little English and always contacted another staff member who spoke better English to help if they couldn't. A few staff spoke very good... More

Thanks to the few options given by the club we were booked at this place for a week's stay...the place is beautiful considering the property surrounded with trees and is really huge..but the location is terrible. what you save on paying for the stay due to membership you end up paying double for transport from the place to any tourist...
