The Good Times Resort occupies a plot on the banks of the Kwai River, set slightly back from the bustling streets of Kanchanaburi. A property designed to help you slow down between stages of your Thai journey, within easy reach of the valley's memorial sites and the waterfalls of Erawan National Park.

Why stay here

• Direct location on the Kwai River banks, with terraces and a restaurant overlooking the water.
• Ideal base for exploring the Kwai River Bridge, the JEATH Museum and Erawan Falls.
• On-site activities that extend your stay: pool, yoga, massages and water outings (boat, paddleboard).
• Multiple room categories suited to couples, families and small groups (up to 4 people in connecting rooms).

Atmosphere

The resort embraces a rural calm: gardens planted with palm trees, shaded pathways, terraces opening onto the river. The riverbanks set the pace, with regular passage of barges and tour boats. The atmosphere remains understated, focused more on disconnecting and relaxation than on the city center's nightlife, which remains accessible within minutes.

Rooms

The property offers several air-conditioned categories:

• Small Room of 20 m², a compact format for one or two guests.
• Deluxe double or triple with Kwai River views.
• Connecting rooms for up to four people, ideal for families and friend groups.

Each room features a private bathroom with hot water and hairdryer, quality bedding (double or single beds), a minibar, Wi-Fi and a television with international channels.

Restaurant and services

The restaurant, set along the riverbank, serves a menu blending Thai cuisine with international dishes prepared from local produce. The bar takes over outside meal times, offering snacks, cocktails, wines and beers.

For relaxation, the hotel provides:

• A pool surrounded by lush vegetation.
• Yoga sessions available on-site.
• Thai massage services (relaxing or more invigorating).
• Water activities: boat excursions and stand-up paddleboard lessons on the Kwai River.

Access and location

The resort is located approximately 3 km from Kanchanaburi's bus station, which offers regular connections to Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal (approximately 3 hours by bus). Train travel is another popular option: from Bangkok's Thonburi station, the journey takes about 2.5 hours. The nearest airport, Kamphaeng Saen, is about forty kilometers away. On request, the property can arrange a private shuttle; tuk-tuks and taxis remain a simple option upon arrival.

Things to see nearby

• Kwai River Bridge: an iconic structure of the railway line known as the "Death Railway," built during World War II by Allied prisoners of war and forced Asian workers.
