Great service from a kind and friendly staff. Raft hotel is very remote and a journey into itself to get there. The facilities are basic and a little dated but offer an amazing rustic experience. We stayed into end of season so not so busy which was great but imagine it would be less appetisingly when busy. Bring small rechargeable lights and fans for the rooms and snacks. Great to see keeping them keeping the Mon culture alive.
Situated in Sai Yok, 25 km from Hellfire Pass Museum, Binlha Raft Resort features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Very nice rooms on the water. There are alternative rooms that are not on the water. If you enjoy sitting on your balcony enjouying closeness to the water. Choose the raft rooms. But know that they float so there will be movement in the room. Especially if a boat passes by. There is also a nice pool. Restaurant serves delicious food.
Located in Sai Yok, 24 km from Hellfire Pass Museum, Rimwang The River Life provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

We had a great stay at Rimwang Riiver Life. The resort is an oasis of peace along the river. The view of the water is great. The resort is a great base to explore and discover the area and the nature park further away. The resort is run by a friendly family. The rooms are clean, the fridge is well stocked. There is no restaurant, but the family likes to cook the most delicious meals in their own kitchen. If desired, they can be brought to your room. You can also be picked up at the Nam Tok train station for a small fee. Very nice if you arrive tired after a long, but beautiful train ride from Bangkok. In short, a great stay. You couldn't wish for better!

We stayed at the floating villas, specifically villa 210 which is the first one, giving us no neighbors to the right and the possibility to see the elephants bathing in the morning.
The room is HUGE and the bed is super comfortable.
We had meals in the hotel and all the food was good, but I’d recommend getting the barbecue!
There are several activities but we really just relaxed on this hotel.
We rented a bike on Nam Tok and it takes about 20 minutes from there to the hotel, and 40 minutes to the Hellfire Pass.
Featuring a lakeside swimming pool surrounded by the tropical jungle, Home Phutoey River Hotspring & Nature Resort is set along the River Kwai in Sai Yok, an hour drive from Kanchanaburi Town.

Beautiful escape to nature with our family. Great location on River Kwai with boating and cave exploring on doorstep. Helpful and friendly staff. Lovely clean room and pool.

The resort grounds are stunningly beautiful, with each chalet set in its own private spot amongst the tropical lushness. The 2 swimming pools are also surrounded by lovely greenery, so you always feel 100% connected to nature...even the impressively large restaurant is full of rustic charm.
And of course, as with nearly all the hotels I have stayed at in Thailand, the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and courteous.
Mida Resort Kanchanaburi - SHA PLUS is a 30-minute drive from River Kwai Bridge and is surrounded by natural landscapes. It offers free Wi-Fi, flat-screen satellite TVs, an outdoor pool and a spa.

Loved the feeling of being in the outdoors, right on the river in a gorgeous setting. Even the rain storm didn't detract from the beautiful setting.
Beautiful natural spring and floating sun deck.

Sai Yok is great for people wanting to visit beautiful natural wonders and the terrible death railway of WW11. However, information is often incorrect and wrong most locals have no English. I researched extensively and even that was not enough most websites offer information that is ab solutely wrong and only their own experience NOT FACTS, enjoy.

Sai Yok is a big place which encompasses National Parks, reservoirs and dams as well as forests, mountains, animal sanctuaries, rivers and even a World War 2 death railway. You can choose to drive up in a personal car, as I did, about 3 hours from Bangkok but on a very scenic route, or you can take the train. Once there you can travel on the famed river Kwai if you want to and see all of the natural beauty and wildlife that abounds. I only went for 3 days this time but it is about my 12th visit as I live in Bangkok, and I always find that there is something different to do, just be aware of the rainy season which can curtail anyone's day.

I travelled to Sai Yok by car, so was able to explore the area easily. I didn't book any organised trips.
Sai Yok National Park was worth the Foreigner price - the waterfalls were easily accessible, and if I was younger and fitter I would have been able to spend a long time wandering about.
I refused to pay the foreigner price for Lawa Cave, as did the Western family with four children who arrived at the same time. I did not feel that the experience would be worth it, and for the family it would have been extremely expensive.
Thin Lin Hot Springs, however, charges the same price for everyone. Affordable for Thai people and an absolute bargain for Westerners. The pools are tiled, so do not look natural, but it is very clean and a beautiful place. There is a roped off area in the nearby river, so it is possible to swim and paddle safely without fear of being swept away. The current is very strong.
The area is very beautiful and quite unspoilt. I recommend it for those wanting a peaceful, back to nature type of holiday.

The activities on offer at the hotel were extremely expensive. 1,500 baht to hire a canoe for 30 mines. A trip to the River Kwai bridge with my partner diet 6,00 baht!!!! The noise from the cicadas was deafening and no one mentioned that it was mating season on the website. It was far too noisy to use the pool facilities.
