This is the place to stay in Kanchanaburi.The delightful staff are accustomed to westerners have good English are friendly and professional, owned locally by the same woman for over twenty years.A fabulous deck high over the river to relax on all day, with the river breeze it’s cooler than anywhere in town.Great reasonably priced food availableThe raft rooms are my pick with aircon fan scrupulously clean and secure and again the breeze from the river.Only possible downside is partying across the river on party boats and venue opposite, what can you do ?The guesthouse provides free ear plugs 😅

Good atmosphere, quiet, good service. Come for the second time. There are many types of rooms with reasonable prices.Late at night, if there's a music field playing You can sit and listen and enjoy. But if you want a modern room New, try taking a closer look first. 👍🏻😊
