Good Times Resort
Compare prices
Good Times Resort occupies a well-positioned address on Maenamkwai Road in central Kanchanaburi, placing guests within straightforward reach of the River Kwai Bridge, WWII memorials, waterfalls, caves, and the national parks that make this region one of Thailand's more historically and naturally diverse destinations. The property's ornamental gardens, water features, and ornamental pond create a calm, visually considered setting that gives the resort a character beyond standard accommodation. Guests can expect air-conditioned rooms with firm, comfortable beds, and access to two swimming pools — the larger of which is well suited to lap swimming. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and meals throughout the day, with cocktails frequently noted for their value. Staffing levels are notably high, with attentive personnel across reception, housekeeping, kitchen, and grounds, contributing to an unhurried, well-maintained atmosphere. Sunset views from the property are a recurring highlight for visitors. The combination of peaceful garden surroundings and a practical location makes this a reasonable base for travellers balancing sightseeing with downtime. Kanchanaburi's cool season, running from November through February, offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring the region, with moderate temperatures and low rainfall. This is also peak tourist season, so booking in advance is recommended, particularly for stays at well-regarded properties along Maenamkwai Road.

Visitor Reviews
Amazing facilities, beautiful views (especially at sunset), attention to detail with the ornaments and water features, 2 swimming pools and a delicious breakfast. But the main attraction for me was the super friendly and caring staff. At some of these resorts, the interactions can sometimes feel artificial but not here- genuinely nice people who are more than happy to help others. All staff - receptionists, gardeners, cleaners, catering staff, drivers and tour operators should be applauded and admired. Special mention to Taw / Tho (sorry for spelling :)) young man with a big heart and a warm personality. Miss all you guys already Khob koon mak krub 🙏
We recently had 3 nights here and very much enjoyed our stay. We've never seen so many staff in evidence as we did here - reception staff, cleaning staff, maintenance staff, garden staff, kitchen staff. All the staff were friendly and had a ready smile. We loved the pool area. Good options at breakfast. The resort is nicely tucked away in a residential area, and is in a good location for visiting places of interest in the Kanchanaburi area.
Really lovely hotel with great staff. The gardens and pond area are beautiful and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Cocktails are great value and taste really good, the food is also quite reasonable. The soundproofing in the rooms isn't great, we were exhausted after a day of activities but if you've just come to lay by the pool and relax you may find it a bit noisy at night if you don't have quiet neighbours

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Book Shoulder Season
May–June and September–October offer dramatic discounts (30–50% off peak rates) with fewer crowds. Weather is mixed but rarely a washout — afternoon showers clear quickly.
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
