A fine hotel .... close, but no cigars! We stayed in one of their raft rooms on the river. Beautiful view and quiet, except for the thin walls and the exceedingly LOUD party boats that float back and forth every evening between 7 and 11, destroying any thought of a tranquil sunset and evening. Bathrooms not quite up to scratch, and very hard beds. They serve breakfast, nice spread, including lots of ants, except that everything is sitting there in the open since dawn, so that if you have breakfast at 9, everything is cold, including the fried eggs. When I said something she offered to put the eggs back in the frying pan and heat them up: no thank you. But the lawn is lovely, staff is not unfriendly, and it’s really close to the famous bridge on the river Kwai.

We (two adults and two children) arrived around 15:00 and were taken to our roon, a hut with a balcony on the river. It has no toilet, shower or air conditioning... but we knew all that. What we didn’t know (or missed), was the fact that it’s a floating hut. Taking under consideration that it’s a busy river with long tail speed boats speeding along it all day, the hut rocks almost all the time. The bolcony is very narrow and fits a chair and your feet. We understood that although it may be cool for some, it’s not for us. We asked to change room and since they were rooms available, they moved us (for extra charge, still very reasonable) to one of the rooms around the green yard which was very nice. Added one mattress fot one of the children and we were good. The place is very clean and the bedding smells nice. It’s in a great location in a walking distance from the bridge and the bars and so called night life area. The kids really loved the place. Breakfast is simple and good. All in all... a great experience. If we weren’t on a schedule, we’d make the three days visit a fiver easily.
