We stayed at the Cross River Kwai for 3 nights. Room was very comfortable and opened straight out on to the pool. Hotel was great in organising transfers to and from Bangkok for us as well as a private driver to go to Erawan National Park, Hellfire pass and a tour round the city. Location is a pro and con, the pro is that it’s quiet and right on the river which was great having spent 5 nights in Bangkok. But the hotel itself is quite far out of the city so not easy to get in to the city for dinner last minute ( we were travelling with a baby so this made it slightly harder). The restaurant is good but limited if you eat there for multiple meals. They were great about providing a cot for our little one but no other baby amenities were provided.
The attractions that we are impressed with and have been able to experience the atmosphere. Is Mida Hotel is a luxury beach hotel available. The interior of the room is decorated in a simple modern style that looks comfortable and the bathroom is clean and has all the amenities. There is a pool to play. And there are food arranged in a buffet style. There are both local food to food in a 5 star hotel I had the opportunity to travel because my sister was an employee in Mida Company. Me and my family are very impressed with that place. Good service, good conversation and natural Phil.
Very pleasant stay in this elegant setting. Comfortable stand alone villa in well looked after garden setting. Very nice big pool , afternoon complimentary cake and tea is a nice touch. River Kwai at the bottom of the complex and the bridge is a 4km easy drive away. The addition of a sofa in the room would be most welcome as sitting on the bed is not ideal. All in all a very pleasant place to stay with friendly staff ,very clean and good facilities , good parking and easy access to the city. Would definitely stay here again.
The setting with grounds flowing down to the river is idyllic. The hotel itself is quite grand at first blush, but lack of maintenance and limited housekeeping soon becomes noticeable. Our room was very spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool and the river. Lack of a screen door meant you had to run the AC and keep the door closed to keep out mosquitos. Annoyingly out room was half a step up from the hallway and the large bathroom was half a step down. A bit of a tripping hazard and not suitable for a wheelchair user or any one with any mobility limitations. 2 beds had been pushed together to create a double but that meant the headboards did not line up with the bed or the single bed side table. Beds were comfortable, AC and internet worked fine. The whole place was passably clean but plenty of dust and insect casing were present on higher walls and surfaces. Breakfast was ok not great. Coffee was a little odd. Beautiful gardens but not convenient to town. Neigbouring property throws loud parties so noise could be an issue. Towels were threadbare but sheets were nice. We left housekeeping a tip anyway figuring people had been hard up during Covid. No nearby dining so captive audience situation at dinner as town is hard to get to. The rice barge dining room floating on the river was delightful as was the pool. Quite a lot of contradictory experiences in a single stay but could be splendid - having said that rates were fairly inexpensive.
最近、U inchantreeで2泊しました。プロパティは、美しい景色と思慮深く任命された敷地を持つクワイ川のすぐそばの美しい場所にあります。レストランは朝食、ランチ、ディナーに最適でした。サービスは素晴らしく、食べ物のプレゼンテーションは素晴らしかったです。部屋は清潔で素敵でした。また、彼らのマッサージサービスも利用しましたが、それは一流でした! U Inchantreeを本当に際立たせるのは、フレンドリーな従業員と優れたサービスです。ギギとビッグは、私たちの滞在を思い出に残るものにするために邪魔をしませんでした。彼らは素晴らしく、すべての従業員は丁寧でフレンドリーでした。カンチャナブリでの次の滞在には、U Inchantreeを間違いなくお勧めします!
This hotel was probably very good before covid hit it pool is excellent beds are comfortable but furniture is of in need or replacing sheets we’re dirty should have complained but only noticed last day toilet seat was not fitted staff were very friendly coffee shop was good it just needs a bit of TLC and would be a very good hotel again
ゲゲストThe hotel location is very good. Nice hotel in the city near the Bridge of the River Kwai) if you walk.from the hotel to the bridge about 9 minutes The hotel provides bicycles for complimentary for customers. The hotel staff are friendly, especially the receptionist . Breakfast is okay not too much. The swimming pool at the 5 floor rooftop nice view. Hight recommend
SSupasaintLocated about 7km north west of the town, the staff are all friendly and helpful. I have rented a small motorbike to get me around, a necessity which means I can go where and when I desire, small money so no problem!
Have been to the cemeteries and museums to pay my respect to ALL who suffered during those darkest of days. I have also been to the original wooden bridge constructed by the POW’s and others, it is located in the JEATH museum adjacent to the bridge that is in use these days. Entry cost 50 Baht, and there is so much to see that I took two hours inside, would recommend a morning visit so you can view the many items and read the facts behind them at your leisure.
The museum has been set up by a local man and is most definitely worth visiting. 100% value for money! I mentioned to a Thai man inside that we were so grateful that people around the area did try to ease the suffering of the POWs, risking their own necks by doing so.
My mother was an innocent child at 7 years old, alongside her mother and little sister she waved goodbye to her father, John Francis Egan, he said he was going to work for a while!! After working in Turkey, his ANZAC unit were moved on to Italy, to partake in one of the harder campaigns of the war. His life was taken by a German bullet at Mount Casino, alongside many many others!
Please understand how one can feel. I try my hardest to be non judgmental and tolerant these days. I have not walked in your shoes and do not know your story.
“Footsteps in the sand” comes to mind at this moment. I have PTSD myself, and I knew coming to Kanchanaburi may get emotional, and it has.
Now my mother is 88 years young, and became a great grandma for the second time two weeks ago. Apologies if it got too personal, started as a review of the Phoo Tawan hotel.
Words are insufficient, our gratitude to all who risked their own lives and those that paid the ultimate price.
Life is precious, please enjoy the moment.
Peace, love and joy to all who inhabit this world.
ONE LOVE
