Sai Yok Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

River Kwai Jungle Rafts Enjoy the nature in front of you.

A review of a great nature experience without electricity, Switch Off Social, and full of happiness with nature right in front of you at River Kwai Jungle Rafts Floating Hotel, Kanchanaburi. The accommodation is in the middle of the river, surrounded by mountains, completely cut off from the social world. The rooms have no electricity or internet, allowing you to find happiness only from nature. Spending 3 days and 2 nights here made us realize that being with nature without social media can also bring happiness. We talked more and spent more time together with various activities provided by the resort. The rooms here are simple with only a bed, mosquito net, bathroom, balcony, and a lamp for light at night. From the luxurious lifestyle to having nothing, we had to adjust ourselves on the first day. The resort is especially free from mobile phones, which cannot receive any signals here. Although the weather during the day when we stayed was not as cool as we expected, there was no swimming pool to cool off, only the flowing river Kwai right in front of us. We couldn't resist putting down our mobile phones and grabbing our swimsuits to play in the water. It was an activity that foreign tourists and Thais alike enjoyed to cool off. The more we played, the more we laughed. It was strange that we forgot our phones in the room so easily. Additionally, the resort also provides kayaks and paddleboards for rent. We recommend enjoying the morning sunlight, good weather, and clearer river water than at other times. Try bamboo rafting to enjoy the view and chill out, or take a walk to visit the Mon village and take some photos. In the evening, we could buy tickets to watch the Mon dance at the theater on the raft. It is a traditional dance of the Mon people, which is hard to find. One of the performers was a staff member we met in the morning. For those who like massages, there is a Mon massage spa here. It is a Thai-style acupressure massage with a cool breeze and the sound of flowing water. You can fall asleep easily. As for the food, the dining room is next to the lobby. The breakfast is simple, such as fried rice, boiled rice, stir-fried noodles, and ABF with bread, jam, and fruits. The service is provided by Mon staff who speak clear Thai and some English. The service is excellent and attentive. #SouthernTeam #Kanchanaburi #RiverKwaiJungleRafts

The Floathouse River Kwai Kanchanaburi

Enjoy a comfortable stay amidst the river at The FloatHouse River Kwai, Kanchanaburi. Sometimes, staying amidst nature can raise concerns about convenience and comfort. However, you can put those worries to rest here because The FloatHouse River Kwai is a floating resort that offers all the amenities and facilities you would expect from any other resort you have stayed at. The FloatHouse River Kwai in Kanchanaburi is designed in a contemporary boutique folk style, blending Eastern and local art, making it appear like beautiful houses floating along the River Kwai, with just a few dozen houses in total. The spacious and airy lobby is located in the center of the resort, with a pier for boat docking. It is also the most scenic and picturesque spot in the resort. There is only one restaurant here, but it offers a wide variety of dishes for breakfast, including both Thai and international cuisine. The service is excellent. I highly recommend waking up a little early to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, as it will make you smile all day long. The FloatHouse rooms are all of the same type, with each room offering the same spacious layout. However, there is only one room that provides a better view compared to others, called the Floathouse Panoramic (which is slightly higher in price). The room itself is very spacious, with a large bed, a TV with Netflix access, a wireless charging station for mobile phones, a coffee maker, and more. The decoration features the use of thick ropes, giving it a raw yet beautiful look. The colorful pillows and furniture contrast with the green surroundings of the forest and river. Outside, there is a private balcony along the river with chairs for relaxation. In addition to these features, you can also engage in various activities by contacting the resort, such as water sports, kayaking, or watching traditional Mon performances. However, we feel that this place is best suited for a peaceful and tranquil vacation, where you can truly enjoy the serene atmosphere of the mountains and forests from the comfortable room. #SouthernTeam #AccommodationReview #Kanchanaburi

Amazing tranquil location

The float house river Kwai is a great and unique accomodation! Although slightly further from the city of Kanchanburi, it was pretty near (~1hr away) from the other attractions such as Erawan waterfall and the Hellfire pass museum. We were able to float along the river current to the other side of the float house which was indeed a unique experience. Food was decent but not great.

Mallika R.E 124 (เมืองมัลลิกา ร.ศ. 124)

Interesting to spend a day here. A replay of Thai in the olden days. Good effort to make it very real with people and animals (cows) living here. You can exchange at a rate of 1:5 obtain the ancient coins for the purchase of food within the park. Unused coins can be exchanged back to cash at the entrance/ exit. Lots of good photography opportunities. Here you can learn about Thai lifestyle of the earlier days via the Old building structures here. Schools also arrange tour groups here to study the culture, this is one reason why the Thais are so traditional and they follow closely to their culture. Very beautiful place. Heaven for photographers. 200 bath ticket price. Worth visiting. #kanchanaburi #thaiand

Mallika City.

It is a retro city that showcases the way of life of the Siamese people in the Chao Phraya River basin during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Rama V, after the proclamation of the abolition of slavery. The city features Thai houses on rafts, houses of the nobility, reflecting the way of life including customs, traditions, culture, dress, and ancient cooking equipment. The food is very delicious, and the containers used to display the workmanship of flower and leaf carvings, basketry, along with performances of Khon, traditional dances, and folk plays. Within the village, there is a tram service known as 'Rickshaw' for sightseeing around the area, and Thai costume rental services are available for visitors to blend in with the atmosphere of Mallika City.

Try Thai’s Traditional Food in Ancient City⁉️

#bangkoktrip Mallika R.E 124 is the retro-city reflecting the past Siamese lifestyle in the Chao Phraya River Basin. During the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Rama V (1873-1910 A.D.), the people’s way of life in 1905 A.D. was plentifully changed. The most pronounced was the abolition of slavery. When freed, these former Siamese slaves had to live and earn a living by themselves without control and supports from their noblemen and masters anymore. They had to live a life of self-sufficiency, self-reliant, and in harmony with all other Siamese people. These changing patterns of lifestyle are the cornerstone of today’s Thai people. Inside Mallika R.E 124 there is Ancient Market Zone where you can buy souvenirs and also there are many stalls that sells Thailand’s Traditional Food (maybe some of them you will not find in bangkok city). Also there are : City Tower = It was simulated from the prison tower which was built to create an elevated observation point for supervising and preventing prisoner escapes. Reuan Dieow = It is a detached house for commoner. Reuan Khaha Bodi = house for the rich peeps, and last one is Reuan Pae Floating House to remind During that time, the most common mean to transport was by the river. You also can try Thailand’s traditional clothes in 1873-1910 A.D. Don’t forget to exchange your Baht to Ancient City money (coins) it was thailand’s money in the past time, all transactions in Mallika R.E 124 must use that coins. #oldcity #bangkok #kanchanaburi #themepark #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #cafe #thailand #celebratewithtrip #travel #passionpassport

Bridge on River Kwai

A visit to the River Kwai is a must when visiting BANGKOK. Lots of history, beautiful scenery and a trip outside of the city into the countryside

A day of vacation in Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi, a less popular destination. Most tourists will check in at the Death Railway, while we spent a day at the hotel. River Kwai Village Hotel has fewer Chinese guests and more foreign guests. The hotel is divided into river houses, river view rooms, and ordinary rooms, with the first two recommended. In the morning, start with a hearty breakfast, then ride an ATV to the orchard for picking, then bamboo rafting or taking a unique Thai boat to the hot spring center for a hot spring bath, applying a volcanic mud mask, and in the evening, sit on a drifting boat while enjoying the sunset on the Kwai River and dinner. The Thai food at Somsong next to the hotel is very distinctive, it is a restaurant where Thai stars will check in! If you have two days, you can go to the City of Jasmine on the second day to experience an older Thailand!

Resting in Kanchanaburi, visiting Khraeng Kra Chae Cave and Sai Yok National Park. 🏞️

#NongPakay #ChomThamKhraSae 🛤️ #Capture the most beautiful angle on the Maenam Noi railway line Suan Saiyok Resort, Kanchanaburi 🚂🌳 This is the perfect place to stay in Kanchanaburi, surrounded by beautiful nature. Whether it's the Khra Sae Cave, the Mae Nam Khwae Noi River, or the most beautiful view of the Maenam Noi railway line, there are a variety of accommodation styles, including riverside bungalows, mountain view cottages, and fun activities on both land and water. 🏠📷 I have to say that there are many beautiful photo spots around the resort. The highlight must be the front of the 𝐊𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚 A-Frame house, which looks like the village of 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐰𝐚-go in Japan. Or the large circular seating area in the middle of the garden, where you can chill and enjoy the atmosphere around the resort in the cool evening. It feels great!! 🧳📜 If you have plans to visit Kanchanaburi, don't forget to add #SuanSaiyokResort to your list. I guarantee that it won't disappoint you and will definitely fulfill your vacation needs. 📍: Tambon Lum Sum, Amphoe Sai Yok, Kanchanaburi Province 🗺️: https://goo.gl/maps/E14iGx5V7jwANhyR8 ☎️: 02-967-8181 to 4 #NongPakay #Kanchanaburi #SuanSaiyokResort #KraSae #MaenamNoiRailwayLine #KinteaEverything #WhereToGoThisHotSeason
