Upon arriving at the floating hotel located on the historic River Kwai, Groupies settle into a raft room, built from bamboo and naturally cooled from the river underneath.

Reviews - Hotel de Bangkok

Hotel de Bangkok has mixed reviews on TripAdvisor, with many previous guests praising the accommodation for its convenient location and comfortable rooms.

This hotel has several good facilities for our first trip in Bangkok. Its location is in the heart of shopping center but not too crowded. Also, it is not far from airport link, just only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. So it's very convenient. The room was clean and well-desingned with bright decoration.

We stayed here for 2 days and it was a nice experience. Hotel is located at a walking distance from the famous whole sale market for Clothes - Indra Market. And also very close to the rail link.

River Kwai Jungle Rafts is praised for its relaxing atmosphere facilitated by its idyllic setting and basic lodgings.

Whilst there was no power or wifi or hot water we had the most relaxing time. Food was ok beer was cold great company. The elephants coming down to drink were cute as. Nearby mon village was interesting. Highlight was the trip to hellfire pass.

it's lovely being stuck in a place with a group of people with no place to go and no electricity or any other modern comforts. It's back to basics and is really very relaxing because of it.
