Mek Kiri Riverkwai Resort in Thong Pha Phum

I would recommend this place for those who need some time to unwind and relax. The hammocks by the river are an amazing addition.
However, I wish the breakfast had more variety. The restaurant closes quite early too (6pm). Not much on their menu either.

I was impressed with the service; the staff were friendly and lovely, the atmosphere was good, and the food was delicious. However, the cleanliness of the room was average to low, as if it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly before guests checked in. I'm deducting a star for that.

Goooddddd

The atmosphere is nice, the rooms are clean and quiet. There's free boat rental and you can swim in the sea. The rooms on the raft are good, but there are a lot of mosquitoes in the evening.

This nature-focused accommodation offers fishing rods and boats for paddling. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, but the air conditioner is noisy, so it's not suitable for light sleepers. There's no refrigerator, so you should bring your own insulated cup. The beds, blankets, towels, and bath mats are clean and changed daily. There's a floating bar where you can relax and enjoy the view of the flowing water. Importantly, there are geckos, and they're quite aggressive! (lol)

good atmosphere

It was a great experience overall, all the staff is very helpful and lovely. The boy for driving us around is very lovely and kind. The restaurant is also nice, the auntie there is very nice, the food is good, the view of the restaurant is fantastic.
The floating house just amazing! Very beautiful and peaceful. If you have a car it’s much easier to reach to the hotel.

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.

We stayed for one night in Sept 2020, and had a very pleasant stay. Although we were the only guests, they took really good care of us. They accept to set up the rafting/tubing activity just for 2 of us, and cooked us a good breakfast at our most convenient time.
Hotel conveniently located from the Hindad hot springs, and a perfect place to relax on the river. I would definitely recommend!
