HomePhutoey River Kwai Hotspring Resort
Compare prices
Book the River View Onsen room or don't bother coming. That's the whole point of this place: a private hot spring bath big enough to sit in properly, looking straight out over the river, plus a big room with a balcony, walk-in closet and separate toilets. Showers run on either normal heated water or hot spring water. Guests consistently say a single night feels wasted here, and I'd agree with them. Two nights minimum.
Beyond the baths there's an infinity hot spring pool, bamboo rafting, and grounds that are properly looked after rather than just green. The restaurant gets steady praise and the pricing is fair, though the kitchen defaults to mild for foreigners, so ask for it Thai style if you want heat. Room service arrives hot. Beds are firm and comfortable. Come in the late rainy season into the cool months and you'll get thick morning fog over the water, which is when this stretch of Kanchanaburi looks its finest.

Reviews from Google
We booked a River View Onsen room which was excellent. The view was as good as advertised. The room was a great size and very well equipped. It was very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The bed was a good size and the mattress was firm but comfortable. I slept very well. We ordered room service and the food arrived hot and it was very tasty. There are soft drinks, beer and snacks available (at an extra cost) We did use the Onsen bath which was a good size and hot. You can sit in it and watch the river flow past and the nature around you and enjoy the fresh air. We really liked the hotel and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Hopefully we can visit again soon snd for longer the next time.
This place is a gem. I was pleasantly surprised by the staffs attention to detail. And the entire resort is right up my alley. Beautiful nature, neatly maintained and cared for. The food was great with good pricing. You just have to ask to have it Thai style or they will make it less spicy for you. Breakfast options were solid with everything I would expect. The room was big and the beds really comfortable. That’s a big plus for me. What I loved was the infinity hot spring pool overlooking the lake with a normal tempered swimming pool next to it. Switching from hot to cold in a second was a pleasure. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to relax and enjoy the Kwai vibe to the max.
This accommodation is beautiful, serene, and offers a wonderful atmosphere. During the late rainy season transitioning into early winter, we were treated to thick fog every morning, creating truly stunning views. The bamboo rafting activity provided beautiful photo opportunities. A major highlight was having a private onsen (hot spring bath)—it was the ultimate relaxing experience
