"If you're traveling to Kanchanaburi with children, you should spend at least one night in a floating bungalow. I once stayed at the River Kwai Jungle Rafts, which operate entirely without electricity. Without a phone or television, we simply sat in the bungalow, chatted by oil lamps, and listened to the sound of the river. It's a complete break from everyday life! However, if you prefer something a bit more comfortable, the sister hotels are better suited for you."
