VeeVaree Riverkwai Resort

4.4(255 reviews)

Set along the banks of the Khwae Noi River in Sai Yok district, VeeVaree Riverkwai Resort offers a genuinely peaceful retreat in the heart of Kanchanaburi province. The riverside setting is a clear highlight, with certain room types offering direct river access and private jacuzzis, making it a popular choice for couples and families alike. The surrounding landscape is lush and unhurried, and guests consistently describe the experience of simply watching the river flow as one of the most relaxing aspects of their stay.

Accommodation is spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with the natural environment doing much of the work in creating atmosphere. Families travelling with young children have found the resort well-suited to their needs, with a calm, balanced setting that avoids the noise and pace of more commercial properties. The resort works equally well as a standalone retreat or as a base for exploring wider Kanchanaburi attractions, including the Bridge on the River Kwai and the region's war history sites.

A Thoughtful, Peaceful Family Retreat at Veevaredeee Resort We stayed at Veevaredeee Resort as a family of five, with three young children, and overall, it was one of the most peaceful and well-balanced holidays we’ve had in a long time. The setting is the resort’s biggest strength — quiet, green, and tucked away from the noise and overdevelopment you often find in tourist-heavy areas. It’s ideal for families looking to switch off. Our villa was clean, spacious, and well-designed for privacy and comfort. Having a small plunge pool and outdoor space was a big bonus with kids, giving us flexibility to relax without needing to leave the room constantly. The staff were consistently polite and attentive, though not overbearing. They were happy to accommodate our requests — such as adjusting meal options for our children — and generally seemed well-trained in handling families with small children. There were small touches that made things easier, like a cot provided without asking, and safe walking paths throughout the resort. The food was fresh and simple. Breakfasts leaned more toward local offerings than continental, which we appreciated, though options were slightly limited after a few days. Still, everything we had was well-prepared. The beach area was clean and safe for the kids to play on, though it’s not ideal for swimming — more for wading or exploring. There are no large kids’ clubs or waterparks here, so it’s not the place if you’re looking for high-energy entertainment. But for families wanting to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy nature without distraction, it works very well. We left feeling rested, not exhausted — which says a lot when travelling with young children. It’s not luxury in the glossy, over-serviced sense, but it’s something rarer: peaceful, human, and well thought-out.

We had a wonderful stay at Veevaree Resort Kanchanaburi! The resort is peaceful and beautifully set along the river — our room had direct river access and a private jacuzzi, which made it extra special. The breakfast was simple. We didn’t have a car, so getting around was a bit tricky, but it’s definitely worth it once you’re there. One of the nicest touches was that dinner was delivered right to our room, so we could enjoy a relaxing meal with a river view. The staff were kind and helpful, though they don’t speak much English, but Google Translate worked perfectly and everyone was very accommodating. Overall, a perfect place for a quiet getaway — comfortable, scenic, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommended for couples or anyone looking to unwind by the water.

We chose the room type to stay by the river. We had the most amazing time. The room is spacious, clean and so cute and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the view, the river and the vibe is so relaxing. We had so much fun doing Kayaking and rafting too. Our kids also love everything about this place. We also miss StormBoy, the most friendly dog ever! Breakfast is good and staff is very nice and accomodating! Highly recommended and will visit again!
