Stay in Kanchanaburi, Sleep in the Clouds
Hey besties, Thailand is more than just Bangkok and Phuket! I recently discovered a hidden gem of a resort—the Kanchanaburi River Kwai Jungle Rafts—a real-life Emerald City! 🌳
📍 Starting from Bangkok, I headed northwest and arrived in Kanchanaburi, instantly captivated by the stunning scenery. The resort floats atop the tranquil River Kwai, surrounded by lush mountains and swirling mists, like a portal to another world.
🛖 The floating houses are cleverly designed, constructed entirely of wood, seamlessly blending with nature. The rooms are cozy, and from the soft bed, you can gaze through the window at the River Kwai flowing gently by. Waking up to the sun on your face, accompanied by birdsong and the murmur of flowing water, is an unforgettable experience!
🍱 Here, your taste buds embark on a wondrous journey. The resort specializes in Thai and Burmese cuisine, using mostly local ingredients. The lemongrass-grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the tamarind chicken is sweet and sour—every bite is an authentic taste of Southeast Asia. Sitting by the river, enjoying the breeze and savoring the delicious food, pure bliss!
🌅 During the day, explore the River Kwai by kayak, weaving through the river bends and encountering diverse wildlife. In the evening, watch the breathtaking sunset from your balcony, as the sky transforms into shades of orange and red, and the River Kwai shimmers—a scene of speechless beauty.
The staff are warm and attentive, even offering a refreshing Thai iced tea upon check-in—extra points for hospitality!
I highly recommend this to anyone seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle and a chance to connect with nature. Come to Kanchanaburi River Kwai Jungle Rafts and embark on a dreamy water getaway! 💕
