Stayed at the Oriental Kwai for a few days in May 13. This is a really excellent familly-run hotel with a great feel and superb, personal service. I would echo the many other positive comments that have been made on this site.

What a gorgeous hotel to stay at, it's perfect in every way. I have a certain standard of hotel and use one particular Thai hotel as a benchmark wherever I travel but Oriental Kwai outstripped this by a million miles. I still cannot get over the perfection of this place, it's called attention to detail. There is nothing that escapes... More

We've just returned from spending 4 nights at this wonderful resort with our two sons aged 12 and 14yrs and cannot recommend it highly enough. The owner Evelien and her staff were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The resort is a little slice of paradise. We tried to think of what could be done to... More

We came for 5 days and we wanted to stay longer. We've arrived to Bangkok after a long flight (11h) with our 2 years boy, and went directly to Oriental Kwai Resort. Wellcoming with icey tea and cold towel where great, room was set and cool - and the only thing left was to relax in the pool before napping... More

We came here as a package trip for our honeymoon through tell tale travel. We hit the jackpot here! The owners and staff were great, the resort is beautiful and the cottage we stayed in was fantastic. We loved eating at the restaurant in the evening with all the fairy lights. This was our paradise. We only wished we could... More

We were lucky to stay here for 4 nights in March 2013. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We ate all of our meals there and loved the food and I'm still thinking about the tuna roti. The owners and staff were able to help with everything and organized drivers... More

Regrettably, only stayed 2 nights! Lovely location - seems a long way out of the town, but WELL worth it - well appointed bungalows in lush green forest grounds, nice pool, friendly owners, impeccable service throughout, great food on nice dining terrace overlooking the river.. I could go on.... Just stay there and find out for yourself! Only mini-nigglette: the... More
