Ploy Resort Kanchanaburi
Compare prices
Ploy Resort sits along the famous Maenamkwai Road in the heart of Kanchanaburi, offering a quietly intimate base for travellers exploring one of Thailand's most historically rich regions. The riverside setting keeps things peaceful despite the central location, with the Bridge over the River Kwai and the town's war museums and restaurants all within easy reach on foot.
Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the small pool area draws particular praise from guests for its relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. The resort is notably pet-friendly, welcoming small and medium dogs for a modest surcharge of 100 Thai baht per dog — a genuine rarity in the region. Staff consistently receive strong mentions in guest feedback, with reception described as attentive and helpful. An on-site restaurant offers breakfast with river views, making for a pleasant start to the day before heading out to explore. Several guests have enjoyed the stay enough to extend it.

Great little resort stunning location with a lovely little pool. Rooms are clean and all you need for a short stay. Staff are excellent the young lady on reception was brilliant and sorted any issues and booked tour boat pick up from the resort plus they have their own tuk tuk which good as local tuk tuks are hard to find compared to most places in thailand. Overall a very nice stay and will definitely return when in the area... The only negative is Kanchanaburi area its self we last visited 27 years ago and it was lovely. However we we're surprised how nothing has improved in fact its probably gone worse alot of the museums are very run down and the area very dirty for.such a tourist area...
I loved Ploy Resort so much I extended my stay. The rooms are lovely and the pool area is amazingly peaceful. It's also in the main area for bars and restaurants so you have plenty of choice within walking distance. All the staff and have been great, Bee in particular has really looked after me and has been amazing.
This little hotel is perfect for any little holiday. Great value for money, friendly staff, animal friendly and allows small and medium dogs. Only 100 Thai baht for each dog. Has a very small pool but has a beautiful view of the river.
