As we have a concept
concerning with preserving the nature, we therefore have water
treated by septic tanks, no electricity there. Moreover, we have
never received any complaint about a Malaria Disease since 1976 up
until now.
The River Kwai Jungle Rafts have a little piece of paradise to offer
you in the heart of the jungle, and a visit to this floatel moored
along the historical river is a unique opportunity to step out of
your everyday world into the harmony of nature.
As dusk turns into night and the river changes its mood, the cool
evening reverberates the magical sounds of Mon music and their
bizarre Balinese-like dancing. The night wanders on like the river;
whispers and smiles pass across candlelit wooden tables as our host
tells folkloric stories of the river.
