We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful boutique hotel. The surroundings, gardens & pool area, and the little deck overhanging the River Kwai were just beautiful. The rooms were lovely, with your own verandah. The whole place is lovingly cared for and the service is both friendly and efficient. We had dinner on the deck, overlooking the River Kwai... More

We have tried so hard to find something out of place with the services and facilities at this little 12villa resort but alas have been unable to do so. This place in my opinion certainly rates more than five stars and Evelien and Joe could teach most of the operators of large five star hotels/resorts around the world what real... More

The owners were a joy, so helpful and friendly, the staff are well trained and attentive to tiny details. I saw a staff member literally running to the swimming pool area to... More

We stayed here last August, sorry for taking so long! It is just lovely. We arrived to a lovely drink and the staff ran out to give us umbrellas as the weather was terrible. Our room was gorgeous and the food was lovely too. My fiancee and I were off the booze after visiting Thailand, which was very hard here... More

We have stayed in more than 18 Thai resorts/hotels. This is by far the best. There is nothing negative at all to be said about our 3 day stay here. Our villa overlooked the River, it was just beautiful, the decor is gorgeous. The bathroom modern. Bathroom amenities lovely, shower pressure and heat perfect, there was no water smell as... More

We booked the Oriental Kwai Resort due to its great reviews and reasonable price. It is a family-run resort but the service is professional and excellent as other big resorts. The location is great, it is only 15 mins drive from the main tourist attractions ea. the 'Bridge On the River Kwai' and 'War Museum'. The cottage is good size,... More

What a gorgeous hotel to stay at, it's perfect in every way. I have a certain standard of hotel and use one particular Thai hotel as a benchmark wherever I travel but Oriental Kwai outstripped this by a million miles. I still cannot get over the perfection of this place, it's called attention to detail. There is nothing that escapes... More
