"Is it really that good?" The answer is plain and simple:"Yes, it is!" In recent years my wife and I (30 and 32 years old) have visited Sri Lanka, USA, Turkey, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Mexico (3 times). We stayed in 5* all inclusive megaresorts like Riu Palace Riviera Maya and Iberostar Paraiso Lindo. (the reason I put this information... more

My daughters and I stayed at the Oriental Kwai for three nights. It was a calm and green oasis after the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and conveniently situated for visiting the River Kwai and Death Railway etc. Djo and his wife were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were delightful and the food very good. The... more

My friend (from Australia) & I (from England) were having a 'girls holiday' when we stayed for two nights at the Oriental Kwai. We just loved the personal service - the fact that the owners took the trouble to introduce themselves to new guests and to engage in conversation about themselves and what to see in the locality. We arrived... more

We, 2 couples from Holland, stayed at the Oriental Kwai Resort for 2 nights and it was too short ! We loved everything about this place. The beautiful garden, the well-decorated bungalows, the food, the quiet and relaxing atmosphere but most of all we liked Djo and his staff (his wife was in Holland, so we didn't meet her). Djo... more

We had planned to go into Kanchanaburi for dinner but were compelled to eat at the... more

We stayed at Oriental Kwai for two nights this October and received a very warm welcome from the owners. I will definitely go back. I loved the peaceful location (got the feeling i was at one with nature), the beautiful forest/garden in which the bungalows sit, the river location, the fact that it is small (only 10 bungalows) that it... more

We just had the most wonderfull weekend break at the Oriental Kwai Resort and whilst normally never writing on Trip Advisor, felt that this one really does deserve a mention! What we loved: * The owner, Djo (we did not meet his wife, as she was travelling) is a wonderfull host and helped us tremendously with planning our daily trips... more

We stayed at the Oriental Kwai for two nights. Had a bit of a hassel actually finding the Resort, but was well worth it when we did. I must say, after living in the region for quite a few years know the entire staff at the Resort where wondeful, really coud not do enough to make you feel at home.... more

We arrived here after a stressful experience in Bangkok and a long journey, and this place was the perfect tonic. The complex is in a beautiful location, about 10km outside of Kanchanaburi and on the banks of the River Kwai. The complex itself is small and low-key, with 10 separate apartment/chalets. The apartments are decorated to a very high standard... more
