These overnight packages take you to Kanchanaburi to see the scenery and the wartime history of the River Kwai at a slower pace. You choose where to sleep from five very different properties, from luxury floating villas to simple jungle rafts, and each one puts you close to the river, the forest and the region's past.
Whichever resort you pick, the guided programme covers the Bridge over the River Kwai, Hellfire Pass Memorial, the WWII War Cemetery, the Death Railway and a Mon tribal village, along with natural sights such as caves and waterfalls.
Good to know: All River Kwai properties are operated by SERENATA Hotels & Resorts Group — one of Thailand’s most recognized sustainable tourism organizations.
