From the initial contact with Troy via Facebook Messenger with SUP Hire Thailand to our final farewell, this was a great experience. Troy listened to what we wanted to do, made some suggestions and then came up with a suggested itinerary. He even got us a great deal with their partner hotel Royal River Kwai Resort & Spa (also recommended). We went with the suggested itinerary, and we’re pleased with the price and activities. My husband and I are fit and sporty but have never done SUP before, except for a casual paddle a couple times while on a beach vacation. We did a 2 hour intro lesson with Troy himself and then continued on down the River Kwai Yai with Fadel, who is from Yala and speaks Melayu) as our guide to end at our resort. The entire trip was well-planned from pick-up at our resort to take us to the start point to getting off the boards at the river’s edge at our resort. I would recommend bringing a dry bag to keep your phone dry. You will get wet during the lesson because it’s good to practice falling into the water. The other day of activities was a morning bike ride, break back at our resort (lunch not included), afternoon bike ride and then 2 hour SUP paddle from our resort to the famous Bridge Over the River Kwai. With the recent rains, the first bike ride was a fun experience of navigating dirt, mud, and puddles. That morning bike ride was my favorite part. The afternoon bike ride was a route closer to the River Kwai Yai. We crossed the River twice. It was on roads the entire time, so I didn’t enjoy it as much. Our guide made sure we cycled safely with the cars though. If you have kids, I would recommend the morning route we took that went around farmland and on a mix of small roads, dirt roads, and trails. The guides and Troy know how to adjust the experience to the needs of each specific group. Because we showed proficiency with SUP, Troy allowed us to do the final paddle to the Bridge on the River Kwai without a guide. The staff gave us a phone number to call if we had any problems and also waited for us near the midway point to check if we were ok. Both were nice safety measures. They set us up for success, so we didn’t need any help. We got to the Bridge Over the River Kwai right as a train was about to pass. That was really cool! Thank you for taking good care of us, Troy, Fadel, and the team. (P.S. we speak rudimentary Bahasa Melayu, Malaysian language, so we ended up communicating with Fadel using Melayu instead of Thai or English. That was also a great aspect that enhanced our experience).

Dear Lynne and Michael, thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review. We have translated this for Fadel and he was delighted, he enjoyed taking you both out and slept so well that night! Fadel says thank you for the face covering and the gratuity - he will remember this experience, just like you. When people show proficiency and an understanding of river features like you did, we are always happy to rent the boards - you were both excellent learners and it was clear to us that you are outdoors people and serious cyclists ! You have mentioned our safe procedures - thank you for doing so; our team prides itself on safe fun and an excellent reputation. Please do come again, perhaps with the children and we will show you more; be safe!

We signed up for one of their bicycle tours around the area with a 14 month old child and weren't sure what to expect. We ended up having a fantastic, and very picturesque ride with our guide Troy.
They had great equipment, including a high-quality bicycle seat for our daughter. Throughout the journey Troy was informative, particularly on local wildlife, agricultural practices, and the region more generally. I should also say he is just a lot of fun to go on a bike ride with, good banter!
They have different rides depending on what you are looking for, from leisurely and short to more intense and longer (we did shorter and more leisurely with a baby in tow) and are more than happy to accommodate any reasonable request.
We thoroughly enjoyed our outing with Troy and will definitely be signing up for one of their paddle boarding excusions once our daughter is a bit older.

We cycled through beautiful countryside and agricultural fields. The instructors spoke good English and were very knowledgeable and safety conscious. The bikes were in very good condition and helmets were provided. One instructor took a 4 yr old child on the back of his bike so that the parents could cycle more freely.

We had a wonderful trip to Kanchanaburi thanks to Troy, the manager of SUP Hire, who proposes original activities which combine cycling "off the beaten tracks" and paddling on the Kwai river for very affordable prices.
All the members of Troy's team were very nice and professional. Both activities of cycling and paddling were smoothly combined for a morning trip. Troy guided us safely from 6:30 to 9:30 in the morning, a very appropriate schedule to enjoy morning light and agricultural activities in the paddy and sugar cane fields. What a nice surprise to make a break in a quiet pagoda where monks were declining their prayers. We also enjoyed the stand up paddle-boarding taster session (10:30-12:30) with Pep and Troy, a great pedagogue for kids (7 year's old).
I strongly recommend this trip to families who want to escape from the urban atmosphere and seek for a relaxing week-end only 2.5 hours far from Bangkok. Last but not least, the team is multicultural and manage to speak in English, Thaï, Chinese, and Korean.
Thank you

Thank you for taking the time for writing this review Guillaume. It was our pleasure to offer you and your family these outdoor experiences and we appreciate you choosing us. Getting children outdoors interacting with nature is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give and it is down to you that your 7 year old was able to challenge himself. Thank you once more.

My family and I went for the rural cycling tour and had an absolute blast. Although our ages ranged from 30 to 66, they took great care to make sure it was the right speed and everyone could follow and have a great time. It's perfect to see the beautiful nature this place has to offer and along the small roads you see many crops such as rice and sugarcane, they explain edible and medicinal plants, you're surrounded by cattle and mountains and it's just stunning. My whole family enjoyed it so much! Unforgettable!

I did a late afternoon ride, 2 hrs ,I think with Troy ,picked up at my guesthouse and taken out to to their depot which is a bit out of town . The pre ride briefing was thorough and appreciated .The ride enjoyable with variable terrain and reasonably traffic free .The bike was 7 speed ,without suspension ,certainly adequate .
The next day I did the 3 hour ride with Pep ,it was long enough in the heat .I learnt a lot about the flora and fauna , many interesting birds also various diff forms of farming .It was a pleasant ride , not a high degree of difficulty but good enough to recommend for those who can hack the heat for 3 hrs ,yes a bit of stamina makes it easier .Thanks guys !!

First, the professional approach of all the SUP staff was outstanding with quality equipment to match. I opted for a two day bike hire, Troy gave some excellent recommendations to explore by myself on day 1. Day 2, joined a small group for the rural cycling (70% off road) where the route (28km) had been carefully planned. As I live in Bangkok I’m planning to return with friends asap so they can experience the scenic and tranquility of what Kanchanaburi has to offer off the beaten track. Oh, and not forgetting Paddle boarding in the same afternoon, great fun, had such a laugh, however just keep forgetting I’m not 21 anymore. Could not recommended SUP highly enough. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you for taking the time to do this Anton. I was extremely impressed with your fitness levels having done 10 km before you even started the 28km ride.
Thank you for being flexible too and I look forward to your return.

Great morning cycle through a beautiful rural area, in quiet back roads and some off road. Troy is a great guide, very friendly and flexible, he designed a new route to suit our family. Good bikes for all of us. It was great fun and lots to see.

Rented our bikes from Troy and found him to be very accommodating. First day road around the city in the rain and saw the museum and the cemetery. Spent a lot of time just taking it all in. Ended up on the Bridge. On the way back to hotel took a different route and went through some jungle areas and through some little villages
Day 2 decided to take Troy up on transporting the bikes up to the Hellfire Monument. Spend a couple hours at the memorial and taking the tour of the cut. On departing we decided to go via a different route. This proved to be rather challenging. It was not the most well
maintained roads, mostly rock road with lots of potholes. As a result our time was much reduced. Getting back to highway 323 we were off on good road once again. Then the heavy rain came. Deciding that we still had 40 km to ride and it was getting dark we gave Troy a call and he was more than happy to come and pick us up and transport us back to the hotel
Overall had 2 exceptional rides over the time we were there
Sup Hire was very accommodating and helpful. The bikes were quite sufficient hybrid bikes and withstood the rock road with no punctures
The price is extremely reasonable and the staff helpful.
