Arrive at Don Mueang Airport by NokScoot. After driving on Highway 4 through Nakhon Pathom, then turn to Highway 323 to enter Kanchanaburi. Along the road there is a green forest road lined with trees, passing by Benz for 200 kilometers. After the road, I came to the floating house on the edge of the jungle on the Thai-Myanmar border. I immediately felt refreshed. I drove directly into the bustling Bangkok city as before. As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I was busy rushing to the night market. The feeling of finding snacks is quite different.This time Wendy visited Bangkok. The first day was not to stay in a newly opened star hotel, but to go to the jungle on the Thai-Myanmar border and stay at Boutique Raft Resort River Kwai Water House!
Boutique Raft Resort floating house location and surrounding environment
Boutique Raft Resort is located on the Kuine River, about four kilometers from Nam Tok Station, the terminus of the Thai-Burma Railway. Walk along the Kuine River all the way up to Sai Yok National Park.Baanpufa Resort,River Kwai Village,The Float House,Jungle Rafts ResortThere are many star-rated hotels, some are river view hotels, and some are floating houses built directly on the river.
Boutique Raft Resort is a floating house hotel built directly on the river. The location is quite good. There are long-tail boat docks and suspension bridges on the left and right of the river bank. After arriving at the terminal by the Thai-Burma Railway, you can rest here for the night, and then continue to go deep. Go to the national park to enjoy the jungle and waterfall landscape, and visit the Hellfire Pass and the National Museum on the historical section of the Thai-Burma Railway.
▲ There are waterfalls in two national parks around the hotel, and you can also visit the ancient route of the Hellfire Thai-Burmese Railway.
Depart to Boutique Raft Resort floating house
Driving to the Thai-Myanmar border 200 kilometers, apart from finding a gas rest stop on the highway and purchasing at the convenience store, when you come to the floating house accommodation in the Thai-Myanmar border area, you must first let go of your desire to purchase. There are only suspension bridges, sunsets, flowing water and jungles around the house, so you can enjoy the natural scenery first. Anyway, you will inevitably pass through Bangkok on the return journey. Then you can satisfy your desire to eat, drink, buy!
▲ The Greenwood Avenue on Highway 323, when you come here in the evening, you can start to feel the refreshing and happy nature of nature.
▲ Continue to drive to Boutique Raft Resort!
▲ Arrive at the gate of the water house, the reception counter and lounge are on the first floor, and the hotel restaurant is on the second floor.
▲ Taking advantage of Check-in time, come first to visit the back garden of Boutique Raft Resort.
▲ There is a suspension bridge next to the hotel. The suspension bridge is not very stable. People with smaller hearts should just take pictures next to the bridge.
▲ Below the suspension bridge is the hotel swimming pool.The so-called swimming pool is a piece of water surrounding the river, super natural!
Boutique Raft Resort floating house experience
Boutique Raft Resort’s accommodation rooms are water bungalows that are truly built on the water. The balcony of the room is a hydrophilic space, just like many hotels that can jump directly into the swimming pool from the room. The water bungalow rooms can jump directly into the river from the room. But don’t forget that the river is flowing, and if you don’t have enough swimming skills, just stay on the balcony terrace and soak your feet.
In the water house built on the water, the room equipment of course cannot reach the luxury level, and the water pressure cannot be used for SPA treatment. The whole room will sway with the water waves. When you wake up in the morning, there is even a short-term water shortage. When it comes, you have to be careful of doors and windows, because traces of flying mosquitoes and insects will show up at this time.However, as long as you accept these characteristics that are quite different from those of star hotels, you can experience a special overnight stay in a water house with peace of mind.
▲ Get the room card and breakfast roll, ready to go to the room!
▲There is a life jacket in front of the door.
▲ The balcony outside the room is a natural water area where you can enjoy the river view.
▲ There is an electric fan in the room, plus air-conditioning. Just after entering the door, it takes time to cool down.
▲ The room provides a double room and a single bed, which is also very suitable for small families.
▲ For air conditioners and refrigerator equipment, the air outlet of the air conditioner blows upwards, which can be matched with ceiling fans to cool down.
▲ Even the floating houses beside the jungle or on the river provide free Wi-Fi, which is very reasonable nowadays.
▲The room in the water house is actually a triple room, providing three bottles of free-use bottled water.
▲ The bathroom equipment and accessories are quite simple, so don't expect too much. The hot water is heated by a heater, and the amount of water is not large.
▲ Drive all the way from Don Mueang Airport, just to enjoy the sunset view of the water house!
Dining environment and meals in the floating house
The restaurant attached to Boutique Raft Resort is located on the second floor of the reception hall. When the lights are on at night, it looks quite romantic and atmospheric, but the price of romance is the disturbance of mosquitoes. Those who are afraid of mosquitoes must first prepare for mosquito prevention. There are friends nearby. Acting as a human mosquito trap, mosquitoes are recruited on him, so Wendy is safe and sound, haha!
The restaurant serves breakfast and dinner are simple and compact meals. Although it is definitely not rich, it is matched with the natural jungle scenery. It seems to match the simple cuisine. On the contrary, it is quite right. As for the evening meal, sometimes it is also met with mosquitoes. Attacking, there are a few small insects in the food, it is probably inevitable. When you come to the morning meal, you don't have to worry about mosquitoes anymore, but it is recommended to get up early to eat and enjoy the beautiful scenery and cool air in the morning.
▲ After the night falls, the illuminated restaurant is particularly romantic, as long as you do not encounter disturbing mosquitoes.
▲ The floating house in the middle of the night has nothing to do anyway. It is a good time to chat and talk.
▲ Wendy woke up early in the morning to visit the suspension bridge next to the hotel, just to see the scene of local people jumping into the river on the bridge to play in the evening last night.
▲ Looking over from the bridge, the scenery is really different, but you have to be careful under your feet.
▲ Prop up the floating raft in the room.
▲ Next to the hotel is the ferry terminal for long-tail boats.
Conclusion
In the experience of staying overnight in the floating house at Boutique Raft Resort, the early morning is Wendy’s favorite time. At this time, the climate is cool and there is no mosquito disturbance. Whether you are cooling off on the balcony of the floating house or walking around the floating house, let People feel very peaceful.Although the water house is quiet at night, it is also a good time for friends to talk late at night, but the morning time is also very enjoyable and relaxing. It is really a dilemma. Just sleep for three hours!
correct!The water house is mainly made of wood, and the sound insulation is not very good, so when chatting late at night, remember to lower the volume and don't disturb others!
