Mek Kiri Riverkwai Resort

In humble opinion of our family, Mek Kiri Resort deserves the best score because of multiple reasons, and I would like to tell about them in order. The first reason is a spectacular scenery, surrounding this marvelous place (just look at the photos I’ve attached!) We lived in the riverfront room and we had a chance to enjoy it every morning, while we were feeding fish in the river and every evening, while we were swinging in hammock to the strains of Nature. Talking about location, we found it extremely convenient for our travelling needs. It took us about one hour and half to get the downtown of Kanchanaburi and the same time to get, for example, the Sangkhla Buri, where we got to see one-of-a-kind Mon Bridge. And the last but not the least reasons why we want to come back here, are: friendly staff, who are always ready to help if you need so; surprisingly good Wi-Fi signal (which turned out to be much better, than, let’s say, in some chain hotels); and simple, but really tasty food in local restaurant. By the way, Mek Kiri Resort gives an opportunity to have not only breakfast on the territory, but also lunch and dinner (at certain hours). By the way, I can’t help but mention that every single guest can participate in an unique morning ceremony of making alms on the raft. We also decided not to miss a chance and became a part of it and, I can say, that it was unforgettable. If you’re interested in too, just contact the staff before your check-in. Sure, I see, that I’ve already written a lot, so, in my summary, I would like to say the following: yes, I perfectly understand, that some of people can find interior in the rooms as quite old and shabby, BUT. Just reckon about one thing: this place is all about enjoying the outside beauty, not about sitting in the room, and in this field Mek Kiri Resort is head and shoulders above other similar resorts. Of course, in humble opinion of our family.

Amazing wooden house floating on the river. Quiet and relaxing with a very very nice staff. Nice restaurant great wifi everywhere (if you need to work as i did :) And the hotspring 5 minutes away are really nice, both for the location and for the locals there.

What a place this is!! We had the luxury to stay in a raft-room. This is ON the water with your balcony right at the river. The ‘downside’ is that the rooms are very noisy. The walls are thin, but hey, your camping on the water. The views in the morning are amazing. You’re in the middle of the nature! Expect this, also with (small)animals etc entering your room. We had a few small ones in our room. It’s part of the nature in our opinion. The staff doesn’t speak English very well, but with google translate you’re able to have conversations with them. They are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is very Thai, expect fried rice etc and a few slices of toast with jam or butter. For us, this place was magical. You need to expect that ‘camping’ on the water has its upsides and downsides. For us far more ups though! Last thing, you need a car. Nothing near here! Just relax and enjoy!

This place is simply amazing! The rooms were great and the view was just spectacular. The food was decent too and above average. Breakfast servings was good. Not to forget friendly staff. Definately will visit again

Mek kiri river kwai resort is about 260 kilometers away from Bangkok. And is a basic floating hotel in a calm and relaxed area. My advice it's good for a 2 day stay. Perfect when you want to drive around in the area. Beautiful nature. The river has a beautiful green/ bleu color. The best of staff who will try to help you with anything. Still English is poor. So use google translate or you will talk to a gentlemen by phone Pjet I believe. The food especially the pork dish is great. And the hotel overs a small boat tour on the river. Where you also can swim in the kwai noi. There are nature parks in the area. Close by a hot spring.
