Kasem Island Resort Kanchanaburi
Compare prices
Kasem Island Resort occupies a quiet islet on the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi, offering guests a rare sense of seclusion without straying far from town. The resort's most distinctive feature is its floating raft rooms, which sit directly on the water and deliver an immersive riverside experience. Mountain views, fresh air, and the gentle movement of the river create a calm atmosphere that sets this property apart from standard hotel stays in the region.
Guests can expect clean, spacious rooms — select rooms such as A6 include a jacuzzi — and the ability to fish directly from their accommodation, a detail that particularly appeals to leisure travellers. The resort also features an outdoor pool and an on-site restaurant serving breakfast. Staff are noted for their friendliness and good English communication. Reviewers consistently highlight the peaceful surroundings and the resort's charm, though some note that certain amenities and facilities are showing their age, which is worth factoring into expectations.
For practical planning, the resort operates around the clock and is open every day of the week, making flexible check-in straightforward. Given the riverside setting and natural surroundings, light, breathable clothing is recommended, along with insect repellent for evenings outdoors. The resort suits travellers looking for a quiet overnight escape or a relaxed multi-night stay rather than a feature-heavy luxury property.

Great Staffs and service Great location - quiet and fresh air environment. Not far from town. Can fishing from your room. Really love it. Room was nice and big. Just the toilet got water leaking. Please take notes that this place is located at the small island and need to travel by boat about 3 mins(300meter) from mainland. Its not 5 star room service. It more on homestay. They provide you just basic needs such as room cleaning, breakfast and delivery from island to main land. Can order halal foods by Grab app. Receptionist will send the foods to your room.
Great atmosphere with a riverside view. Fishing is allowed. Room A6 also comes with a jacuzzi!(I love it.)
Fantastic setting on an islet; great place to relax, surrounded by the river, with mountain views. The place is getting a bit old though.
