- feeling of getting scammed on transport. More expensive than our overnight stay, by far (biggest reason for low rating)
- noice from boats passing, way more than once a hour, ruined the calm experience somewhat (but has to be expected perhaps)

We enjoyed or stay, until check out.

We where asked the day before check out when we wanted to take boat back after check out, "it goes every hour". Said when we wanted. Check out comes, and we had to sit wait 30 min after agreed time, waiting for someone else also going.

On the way to hotel we used Grab (app) to get from Bangkok. 2200 bath. It was not possible to book grab back tho, out of their service area. Asked reception if they could help us book a taxi back. She said she could only help us book hotels own car service.

Entered the pier to get back, here the transport hotel where to order was not ready. We had to wait another 30 minutes plus. Alot of siting and waiting wasting time.

We (2people) paid 4500 bath at the floating hotel for this transport back.
While we waited for this transport at the pair, we talked to a local taxi that was there, and he said he would have driven us back to Bangkok for 2700 bath, and at least we would have had a driver asap and not sit and wait.

It seems like the transport is their real money maker, and this just feels sad to ruin a otherwise good experience by overpriced transport

If you ever go, sort out with local taxi your return..
Will put with the prizes for their car service

River Kwai Jungle Rafts is located in an absolutely stunning setting. The atmosphere on the floating bungalows is magical, the food was genuinely very good, and the longtail boat ride to get there was an absolute dream.

What did cloud the experience for us, though, was the situation with the elephant in the nearby Mon village. They do say he is well cared for — but elephants are herd animals, and this one is kept completely alone in a small enclosure without any companions. He spends the whole day isolated, and for animal lovers this can be quite hard to see.

Because of the beautiful environment and overall experience, we’re giving three stars. But anyone who cares deeply about animals should know that this part of the resort’s “cultural experience” may feel unsettling and not entirely ethical.

For the travel resort that we can put the car parked overnight at the Parking lot of the resort and down the long tail. on the way we will watch the beautiful views along the river Kwai, cold wind, came to clash with the water that splashed icy course that chill. and then it did not take long. about 20 minutes we came to the river Kwai jungle rafts is

The resort is amidst nature, really quiet and private, even as the rooms on the adjacent however, for in the room, it will have bed, 1 double bed and 1 small bed, suitable for family vacations and have ensuite convenient, no need to mingle with others and with the concept of Eco nature making this without electricity are relying on spot lamp in the middle of the night, but it's cold comfort, because on the waterfront

Out the front of the room, it will have a cushion. Seating on the waterfront, some will sleep, read, chill or will end to enjoy the atmosphere pleasant, but if the activity bit is jumping in the water with the kids it might be fun.

In addition, the resort's activity allows us to chill out together with excursions to mon village rafting along the river Kwai and go play in the water. or anyone Canoeing see it sneak adventure a little bit
