AVA - Kanchanaburi
Compare prices
Tucked away in the scenic Si Sawat district of Kanchanaburi, this lakeside resort has earned a devoted following for its serene setting and exceptional attention to both guests and their four-legged companions. Villas are spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with some featuring private pools, and the surrounding lake views add a genuine sense of escape from the everyday. Loaner kayaks are available for guests who want to get out on the water.
What consistently sets AVA apart, according to repeat visitors, is the warmth and attentiveness of its staff. Many guests have returned three or four times, and it is particularly celebrated as one of Kanchanaburi's standout pet-friendly accommodations. Rooms and outdoor spaces are thoughtfully arranged with pets in mind, making it a practical and comfortable choice for travellers who prefer not to leave their animals behind.
Reservation enquiries and updates are handled through the resort's Facebook page. Reception hours run daily from 08:00 to 20:00, so travellers planning late arrivals should arrange this in advance. The location in Tambon Tha Kradan places it away from the main Kanchanaburi town, so having private transport or arranging transfers is advisable for exploring the wider region.

Best pet-friendly place I’ve visited in Thailand so far! This is my fourth time here and I never get bored of this place. The staff always give off the warmest, most welcoming vibes. This time I stayed in Villa 10 for my girlfriend’s anniversary + birthday trip (3 nights). The view is beyond — absolutely stunning. The bed, the pillows, and all the linens give off absolutely 5-star vibes! The food? Absolutely delicious — every single dish. And the activities are unbeatable, from Hobie Cat sailing to pedal-drive paddling. Nothing else compares! Can’t wait to plan my next trip back here already!
This is literally one of the best pet friendly hotel ive ever stayed at in my life! everything is attention to detail and tailormade just for your pets. The Staff are very welcome and always listening of ways to improve. The location is abit far so better to eat inside the hotel (which the foods are amazing!) only add is if they could add some more western dishes, but apart from that the foods are amazing
Heaven on earth! We came here with our two boys and our pup. The view is absolutely incredible, rooms are clean and well equipped, every need has been seen to! We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend for families and pet owners.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
