- wp.me/pNFhP-a41 A hotel on a river! A floatel is a floating hotel on water. Running since 1976, the River Kwai Jungle Rafts is one of the original floatels resting on the Kwai River in Kanchanaburi. We took a river boat to get there and as we arrived, I discovered the entire hotel rested on inflated rafts, tethered to shore to keep from drifting away. It felt wildly cool, like something out of a river jungle safari book.
Being the floatel didn't have electricity, each room was provided a kerosene lantern outside their room, for use at night. There's a nice charm to maneuvering in such a basic and archaic manner. You feel removed from technology and also from time.
My time at the River Kwai Jungle Rafts felt too short. I'd recommend this hotel to all types of travelers- families, soloists or those in groups. I've stayed at a lot of luxury hotels and resorts under the guise of work, but the River Kwai Jungle Rafts, in my opinion, tops them all. It combines all the elements unique and beautiful about Kanchanaburi and serves it up in a hotel. For me, it wasn't just a "stay", it was an experience!
It's a wonderful opportunity to unplug yourself and fall back into the timelessness of nature..

Thanks *so* much for your compliment. Glad I was able to take you inside my experience! The lantern part was a challenge but definitely something where you think to yourself-- wow, this is really cool! Eating in the dark took trust. Had to have people around me try the food first and let me know if there was any meat in it. Couldn't see much.
See ajosshi... you're missing out on those wonderful Thai D's! They're actually good. I think they like to say there's no electricity, but my shower was okay warm and there is intermittent wifi.
We both need to keep doing videos! Tough part for me is finding fun adventures like these.
Woops, only saw your comment now. Thanks for watching @Vikith1 !
Definitely. I wanna do it again!
Wow, amazing , thanks for sharing ! My wife wants to feed the elephants also now ! Stay safe in your travels !
Have fun!
This is the place where i went with my school when i was a teenager about twenty years ago. Finally i know where is this place after watching your video.
My first trip to Thailand took me to the river Quai bridge.I stood in a river house for some days too
That's the one @Chatchawan ! I totally agree with you. What was your most favorite thing about it?
What a great video. Wow - here I am all scared of a hostel and you're out in the jungle with no electricity. I'm wimpy.
Great video though. Really made me feel like I was there. Is it always no electricity? The Thai D vs TP knocked me out of my seat. lol. It's good to know though.
You need to, need to keep doing videos!

You can vlog about things from your blog. It's a great dynamic to actually watch/listen to your stories compared to only reading.
