Details
Via the Glory River Khwae
This is a small hotel on the River Kwai in Tha Ma Kham, near the bridge and the riverside restaurants. The rooms are spacious and the balconies offer river views, which is why it's so popular with most guests.
Breakfast is included, and there's a pool right by the water. Guests praise the powerful air conditioning and comfortable beds; however, one guest had to wait almost an hour for their room to cool down, and another found the Wi-Fi slow. Aside from the breakfast area, there's no restaurant or gym.

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.
