The Plakan Resort was a dream! Huge room, large, comfortable bed, and plenty of amenities. We enjoyed the pool (although it was a bit chilly at this time of year!). The restaurant was good and obviously very popular. We recommend the fried fish with Thai herbs. We had it twice! Breakfast was simple but delicious. The congee was excellent! The staff were all very kind, helpful, and welcoming. Some spoke limited English, but they made an effort. The hotel is located right on the river and is beautifully situated. You can safely skip the gym! The hotel is located a bit outside the center of Kanchanaburi, so getting there without a car can be a little inconvenient. However, we had no trouble exploring the sights by car.
This is a boutique hotel right on the river. The lobby is decorated with many original vintage memorabilia, and there's even an entire room dedicated to such items. The hotel itself is extremely well-maintained and clean, which is a big plus. It has a pool, a gym, and a restaurant. Breakfast was excellent, and the reception and concierge staff were also first-rate. However, a few restaurant staff members could use some training. While taking our order, one employee was talking loudly to guests she apparently knew when they arrived, which seemed a bit odd. Also, many dishes were unavailable. The in-room Wi-Fi was problematic as well, constantly dropping out when watching videos, etc. I eventually switched to 5G because the Wi-Fi was unusable. Overall, though, it's an excellent, very well-maintained hotel, and the owner is often on-site, which is always a good sign.
"I accidentally booked two rooms instead of one and contacted the hotel immediately to correct the mistake. Unfortunately, I received neither a refund for the extra room nor a credit note, even though it was clear I only needed one. I was very disappointed by the lack of flexibility and poor customer service. Guests should definitely check their booking carefully, as the hotel shows absolutely no understanding for honest mistakes."

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
