3D2N itinerary to Kanchanaburi: A personal review of what we experienced and how you can do it too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author :<\/strong> DAWN PILLAY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s Note: Here\u2019s a full 3D2N itinerary, complete with our experiences and how we felt.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PS: If you love Bangkok, we\u2019d highly recommend combining a trip to Bangkok with a trip to Kanchanaburi too! 3D2N in Kanchanaburi, and another 4D3N in Bangkok. This would be absolutely perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Our Accommodation Experience: It\u2019s really unexpectedly charming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incredible stays available at Kanchanaburi are one of my absolute favourite things about this underrated holiday destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From overwater bungalows, to actual floating resorts where we felt our villa gently floating in the river\u2019s current \u2013 accommodation in Kanchanaburi is both unexpectedly charming and unforgettable. It was also really fun taking those boat rides to and fro our floating resorts via Phutakien Pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure we experienced as much as Kanchanaburi could offer, we even tried 3 different types of stays during our time there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\u00a0Glamping in a luxurious tent \u2013 Hintok River Camp @ Hellfire Pass<\/a>
2.\u00a0Going on a digital detox in a floating eco-resort with no electricity \u2013 River Kwai Jungle Rafts<\/a>
3.\u00a0Enjoying an incredibly luxurious floating villa \u2013 The Floathouse River Kwai<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s this signature Kanchanaburi relaxation and serenity that\u2019s a given when you stay in any of the resorts there, and we won\u2019t be forgetting this for awhile. Read on to hear more about our experience at these stays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS: In the shared itinerary below, we will only be including 2 out of 3 of the stays we tried. We were in Kanchanaburi for <\/em>4D3N, but would recommend a 3D2N trip instead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Accommodation Options<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a more luxurious floating resort experience \u2013 The Float House River Kwai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most luxurious of all, The Float House took our floating resort experience to the next level with gorgeous villas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Air-conditioned and spacious with beautiful teakwood furniture, traditional thatched roofs and a private balcony on the river complete with deck chairs and a porch swing \u2013 this was the ultimate place we relaxed at through all 3 stays experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had dinner at the riverside restaurant which was a little pricey, but the ambiance was great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, we headed out in search of adventure, and found it easily accessible from here too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply head to the restaurant and cross the small bridge there to get to the starting point. From here, you\u2019ll be able to head to the cavernous Lawa Cave, Mon Village, Wat Mon and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Float House gave us the best of everything \u2013 luxury, comfort, natural surroundings and adventure. What more could we ask for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
