The Oriental Kwai Resort is a haven of peace. If you are lucky enough to book early and secure the bungalow nearest the river (as we did) you will be treated to an amazing view of the river (and near enough for staff to see you sitting gazing at the river early in the morning and rush over with a cup of coffee!) New, immaculately decorated, roomy bungalows. Lovely infinity pool/jacuzzi, nice food, VERY pleasant and helpfull hosts and staff.
We were assisted at all times with transport to and from Bangkok, trips out and about the area, free shuttle to nearby spa etc. etc. and we thorougly enjoyed our 2 days in Kanchanaburi.
We went to the Tiger Temple and were quite overcome with wonder - make up your own mind if you want to go or not - but this may be the only way to ensure that there are tigers left by the time the Thai government organises a really secure natural park or similar, where such magnificent animals would be safe. Wonderful.

I stayed at this resort with my boyfriend for 5 days over Christmas and loved it so much, I vowed to get a Trip Advisor account just to write a review.

They have a gorgeous location right on the river, with lovely views and a cute pool for cooling off.

The rooms were fantastic. Everything was top quality with a TV, fridge, DVD player (large selection of DVD's can be borrowed for free from the lobby) and a beautiful porch with comfortable chairs for reading or having a beer.

The resort was quiet, but near lot's of sights including Kanchanaburi, Erawan Falls (a must!) & the Tiger Temple.

The food was amazing - particularly the breakfast. We thought it was reasonably priced, considering the quality.

There are wonderfully friendly dogs & cats around the resort who loved the attention.

The staff at the Oriental Kwai were amazing - both the couple who owned it and everyone working there. They were so lovely and helpful with everything from food requests to getting a taxi - they even drove us to the highway when we needed to catch a bus. Incredible.

I would recommend this resort to anyone and look forward to returning.

Enjoy!

We stayed in Oriental Kwai Resort (also known as OK resort) for three nights at the beginning of our 3 week tour of Thailand. What a great way to start a holiday! Large, spotless bungalows (all with aircon, TV, DVD and fridge) which are cleaned daily. A cosy reception area, where you can enjoy a drink and free wireless internet. Make sure to try some of the snacks they serve! The restaurant overlooks the River Kwai and makes a great location for breakfast or dinner. Overall service of the staff is excellent and the friendly owners Djo and Evelien can arrange any tour you whish for. Make sure to visit the Erawan waterfalls, Hell fire pass and of course the River Kwai bridge.

The resort is a peace of paradise, located 15 minutes from Kanchanaburi, 10 units, from which we got the most beautiful and big, located on the Kwai river. The couple running the place are unbelievably nice and helpful. The room was so big and above all expectations. The pool although small was very nice. Breakfast is served and not a buffet – very tasty and served in a beautiful view point. We had a great time there and most surely recommend to everyone that want to have a taste of peacefulness and beauty.
