Felix River Kwai Resort is a 4-star resort located in Tha Ma Kham district, Kanchanaburi, in immediate proximity to the Bridge over the River Kwai. The property features a garden and swimming pool, set within a tree-lined riverside park. From Bangkok, the drive takes approximately 2.5 hours; alternatively, you can reach Kanchanaburi train station by rail, then travel to the hotel by taxi or tuk-tuk (approximately 10 minutes).

Why stay here

We selected this property for its riverside location, just steps from the Bridge over the Kwai, the region's principal historical landmark. It suits travellers looking to explore Kanchanaburi from a comfortable base, with direct access to boat landings and cultural visits. The availability of two-bedroom suites and a three-bedroom Log Home also makes it an excellent choice for groups or extended families.

English-speaking travellers praise the quality of the outdoor setting, garden and pool, as well as the spaciousness of the rooms. However, several reviews note visible signs of wear in certain facilities — roofing, bathrooms, leisure amenities — and inconsistencies in the quality of service at the restaurant and pool service. This is worth keeping in mind when booking, particularly if you expect a consistent level of finish and service throughout your stay.

Atmosphere

The resort embraces a relaxed tropical register, with verdant spaces and a central pool. The atmosphere is calm and oriented towards leisure rather than entertainment. The entire property reflects a style from years past, with a tropical park charm that several travellers appreciate, though general upkeep shows the weight of time.

Worth noting: several reviews mention insufficient maintenance of roofing and facilities (gym, bathrooms), as well as a lack of signage and information at reception. It's advisable to verify at the time of booking the desired room category and its specific amenities.

The rooms

The accommodation offers a range from Superior rooms with garden views to suites and family configurations (Luxury Suite, Royal Suite two-bedroom, three-bedroom Log Home). River View categories offer orientation towards the Kwai River. Rooms are described as spacious by several guests. Bathrooms in certain categories feature older-style fixtures according to available feedback. Two-bedroom suites accommodate up to 4 guests, the Log Home up to 6.
