GETTING HERE
It takes you only a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi Town, from where you drive for about another 40 minutes towards Saiyok district where you will reach the Phutakien Pier (Resotel pier), our private pier next to Highway 323.
Our floatel can only be reached via the river, which makes it so unique.
During the short ride (about 7 minutes) on a local long-tailed boat from the Phutakien Pier (Resotel pier) to The FloatHouse River Kwai you will witness beautiful greenery surrounding the historic river.
Keep your eyes open and you may see some wildlife along the river.
