River Kwai Jungle Rafts, Saiyoke
What an incredible experience. This was our second visit to the Jungle Rafts and again we weren\ t disappointed. The rooms are basic but very comfortable. The food is all Thai and delicious and the service is outstanding. There is nothing better than no TV\ s, radios or even lights. Lanterns and candles are the only source of light at night time. The setting is just spectacular being surrounded by jungle and there are a number of fun activities around. Everything from walks to elephant back riding to the Mon Village show that they put on after dinner. All in all, its a wonderful break and highly recommended. Wouldn\ t take kids younger than 10 there though !!!!

Superb establishment that provides a truly wonderful experience. Tranquil and peaceful setting, good standard of rooms, and very attentive service from the team running the show. The food was excellent too, but be warned that you sit down to eat with all of the other guests in a school dinners type fashion.
One caution, and sadly an experience that left a bad taste in our mouths somewhat sullying the overall experience.....
When I booked via Sawadee.com I requested a pickup and paid 150Bht per person for my girlfriend and I; this included car from the Nam Tok Train station to the Resotel Pier, and Longboat from the Pier to the Rafts. When we were checking out of the Jungle Rafts we were very surprised to be asked for 900Bht for the Return Longtail journey. I explained that we had paid upfront for the inbound journey - which took some convincing even with eMail print outs - and we eventually had to pay 500Bht for our return Longtaill journey, followed by a further 500Bht to get from the Pier back to the Train Station. To hide these costs until the moment you are about to leave, when you have no other choice, felt a little dishonest , and somewhat mercenary. Work it out for yourselves:
- 300Bht Car and Boat from Sawadee for Inbound journey
- 900Bht Boat and Car from River Kwai Jungle Rafts

Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings. Staff were great and the food was pretty good. but if you want all mod cons -forget it. There is no electricity so no lights,fans,air conditioning,or hot water. But the ambience made up for all that. We loved it.

Prompt and efficient.

My family and I (Wife and 3 kids) did the two day one night tour which was a great experince and was a pleasant change to Bangkok. Unfortunely whilst swimming in the river I dislocated my shoulder. I can not thank the staff enough nor speak more highly of them for their care of my family and the manager Mr B for has care of me. Would will definately stay here again.

The booking service was fantastic and hassle free. I would certainly use sawadee.com again in the future.

River Kwai Jungle Rafts, Saiyoke
Undoubtedly the most memorable of our Thailand-trip. Our second time at a raft-hotel in this area, but we will come again. No AC or hot water, in the middle of the jungle with its nice sounds and atmosphere. Nice food and perfect for combining excursions during the days and relaxing in the afternoon. Our children (6 & 9) loved the elephant ride and the swimming in the river. Our guide Boon was just great, and was very nice to our children too. We stayed 3 days/2 nights, but had both nights at the raft which we would do again as this allowed more peace and less moving around.
