"It amazing to stay on the river kwai! The raft house is floating on the river but doesn't really move too much or get bumpy when boats go by."

“The guesthouse sits quietly on the river, a short walk from restaurants and the train station, making it ideal for exploring; the communal area is perfect for enjoying the peaceful river view. Rooms are comfortable and clean, and while a fridge would be a plus, the value is undeniable. It's a solid choice for a relaxed stay.”
