Overview
Kanchanaburi city, located at the point where the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai rivers meet and form the Mae Klong River, is home to wild jungle and scenic waterways. Yet this picturesque region has become more famous for its harrowing history as the location of the Bridge over the River Kwai and the notorious World War Two forced labour camps.
Gently floating on the river, Kanchanaburi’s Jungle Rafts offers an authentic overnight adventure. With rooms built on bamboo rafts on the water, fall asleep to the sound of nature and the gently lapping water. This two-day tour offers an in-depth insight into the history, culture and nature of this intriguing region.

Reviews
We felt rushed at the Death Railway Museum, as there is much to view and understand there.
Jungle Rafts Hotel is a terrific experience and we highly recommend it, with the caveat that there is no electricity. This means no lights (The staff prepares kerosene lights for each cabin and the room key comes with a small flashlight.), no air conditioning, no WiFi and no place to charge devices. The upside is a beautiful location, tasty and plentiful food and a once in a lifetime chance to swim in the River Kwai.
The included visit to Hellfire Pass Interpretive Center was a highlight for us, a beautiful but emotional review of a terrible wartime event.
As others have noted, it is good to take plenty of small Thai Baht bills for tips and small purchases.
We chose to travel light, having stored our larger suitcases at our Bangkok hotel, and we were glad we did, as it made transferring between vehicles and the small boats much easier.
Finally, we would recommend planning your visit during cooler months, as the heat and humidity can be severe in the hot seasons.
