Plakan Resort

Plakan resort was a delight! Huge room, big comfortable bed and plenty of amenities. We enjoyed the pool (though it’s a bit cold at this time of year!) The restaurant was good and clearly popular as a stand alone place. We recommend the fried fish with Thai herbs. We had it twice! The breakfast was basic but delicious. The congee was great! The staff were all really lovely. Welcoming and warm. Some had limited English but they tried! The hotel looks out onto the river and it’s a lovely spot. Don’t bother with the fitness room! The hotel is out of central kanchanaburi so if you don’t have a car, it could be a bit of a pain. We didn’t have any problems driving in to see the sights though.

Plakan Resort is a boutique hotel a long riverside in Kanchanaburi, good location easy to access to city central in less than 5mins. Price is reasonable with breakfast included. You can enjoy local food dinner at the Plakan Log Home restaurant face to the river. I recommend this hotel for family trip and staycation.

This is a boutique style hotel on the river. It has a lot of quirky vintage memorabilia in the lobby area and even a whole room of items. The hotel itself is extremely well kept and clean which is a major plus. It has a pool and gym and restaurant. Breakfast was excellent and front desk staff and concierges were excellent. A couple of staff in restaurant probably need more training. As one took our order she kept talking/ shouting across to people she seemingly knew as they came through the door which was strange. Also many dishes were not available. WiFi in the room was also a problem as it kept cutting out when watching a video etc. I switched to 5 g in the end as it was not usable Overall though it is an excellent, extremely well maintained hotel and the owner is often around which is always a good sign.
