The Float House
55 Moo 5 Tambol Wangkrajae, Amphur Saiyoke

Elegant in its distinctive boutique style, The FloatHouse River Kwai Resort aims to be the world’s best floating resort. The FloatHouse River Kwai Resort is a fancy boutique hideaway and can be found in very few places in the world. The only way to reach the resort is by boat as it actually floats on a flowing river surrounded by thick green jungle.

Accomodation

Each luxurious and spacious floating villa is totally private and rich in custom tailored-made teakwood furniture with thatched roofing. The design is delightfully impressive with exotic decorations including natural materials and ropes. The design concept for the resort is known as “Contemporary Boutique Folk Style,” for a smooth blend of local artistic traditions with the natural environment, yet different from anywhere else in its characteristic rope designs that convey an oriental air.

Recreation

Guests can suntan outside their villa, or swim in the river. The resort can also arrange activities such as bamboo rafting, jungle hiking and bird watching. Traditional Thai massage is also available.

Long tailed Boat trips

Enjoy a breath-taking ride on a traditional long-tailed boat. It is a main approach that local people commute along this river. Riding on the boat along the historical River Kwai Noi brings you the utmost relaxation. You will have the best opportunity to witness the stunning fertile nature along the Kwai River.

In fact, all our guests will be brought to our floating hotel by boat from our private RESOTEL Pier. It will be a short 11-minute ride and it is the only mean to reach our floatel. Lifejackets are available on board.

Canoe

Canoe is also one of our guest’s most favourite adventures on River Kwai. You will be paddling downstream and enjoy lush tropical forest on both sides. If you want to challenge yourself, you may try paddling upstream against the current! It gives you a good exercise and loads of fun. Our boats feature a flat bottom making it more stable. Therefore, it is very safe and worry-free for kids.

Bamboo Rafting

If you want to experience something more local, bamboo rafting could be your perfect choice. Our raft is made by Mon people with local materials. Rafting was a way local people living along the river use to. When you take the bamboo rafting, we designate a person to steer the raft for you. You can just sit back and enjoy the wonderful nature.

Cultural Mon Dance Show

Mon dance is a rare performance that you would witness only in this area of Thailand. The show performers at River Kwai RESOTEL come from our sister hotel in Kanchanaburi, River Kwai Jungle Rafts, as the dance is taught there. The reason why Cultural Mon Dance Show at River Kwai Jungle Rafts Hotel is authentic and original passing through generations. The dancers are also our Mon Villagers. They are guided by a master who lived in Myanmar back in the age that Mon dance performance can be seen in many places in Myanmar. Now it is rare-to-see. Our Mon dance is an authentic live orchestra with traditional brass music instrument and Mon villagers are the performers.
