River Kwai Resotel - Sai Yok

3-star riverside resort on the Kwai Noi River in Sai Yok

Rooms & Accommodations

River Kwai Resotel Sai Yok offers 93 thatched-roof chalets placed on a hillside, each with a balcony or terrace facing the river or forest. The new Riverview Grand Deluxe rooms include an outdoor bathtub on the balcony for soaking while listening to the river. Hidden behind the main area, the Resotel Crafts Village lets guests make bamboo crafts, take Thai cooking classes, or watch traditional Mon weaving.

Pools & Recreation

The resort has two outdoor pools, including a free-form pool surrounded by forest that feels like a forest lagoon. A smaller children's pool is available for younger guests. Sun loungers, sun umbrellas, and a pool bar are open all year at both pools.

Activities & Entertainment

Guests can join the Mon cultural show at the club house bar in the evening for traditional music, dancing, and handmade souvenirs. The resort offers a Thai herbal massage, plus full body, head, neck, and foot massage services. Canoeing, live music performances, and water sport facilities are available on site.
