About the Legacy Riverkwai Resort (SHA Plus+)
Nestled in the secluded landscape along the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi province, this sprawling resort combines comfortable accommodations with a strong focus on outdoor activities and nature experiences. The resort is SHA Plus+ certified and meets the highest health and hygiene standards.

The resort is ideal for families, couples, and groups seeking to escape city life and experience Thailand's natural beauty up close.
The expansive resort grounds offer a shuttle service between the bungalows, the pool, and the restaurant. Accommodation is in individual, spacious bungalows, described by guests as rustic yet clean and comfortable. Activities include stand-up paddleboarding with professional instruction, cycling, and access to the spa. This makes the resort an ideal base for both active vacationers and those seeking relaxation.

It was simply fabulous! All the staff were incredibly friendly and happy to share their expertise. The room is rustic, but clean, comfortable, and quiet. The grounds are vast and perfect for walks and bike rides. Bicycles are available for rent. Every afternoon, you can watch the elephants bathing. It's an elephant sanctuary where the animals must not be touched to promote and protect the well-being of the rescued elephants. You can also participate in other activities, such as feeding chickens and ducks, feeding sheep, renting stand-up paddleboards, and more. Everything is so well-organized that we stayed for two nights and were easily able to extend our stay. There's a small playground, a soccer field, a swimming pool, and a lovely restaurant by the river. We'll definitely be back soon!
Highly recommended for families, friends, and couples who enjoy nature and outdoor sports. Stand-up paddleboarding enthusiasts will be in their element: a professional instructor corrects paddling technique and motivates participants. Ideal for paddling upstream – an effective workout is guaranteed. There's also plenty for families to experience, including the opportunity to visit farm animals, cats, and elephants!
The resort grounds are extensive, so you'll have to walk a bit between the bungalows, the pool, and the restaurant. However, a shuttle service is available. The bungalows are individually furnished and spacious. The staff is friendly and provides excellent service. Due to the many trees, there are a lot of mosquitoes during the day and many other insects at night. Therefore, please bring mosquito repellent.

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.
