Full description
Day 1: In the early morning at 7:30AM, your personal guide and driver will meet you at your hotel lobby in Bangkok. You will begin with a visit to the floating market of Damnoen Saduak. Close to the market you will board a fast long-tail boat, which will bring you through the narrow "khlongs" to the market. At the market you will enjoy watching farmers selling fruit and many kinds of local products in their boats. If you want, you can take one of the paddle boats to cruise through the market (optional). Following this great experience, you will continue your trip to the bridge over the River Kwai, the Allied Forces Cemetery, and the JEATH war museum. You will then travel once more by long-tail boat to the Jungle Raft, a unique, floating hotel in the middle of the jungle, made from wood and bamboo. The resort offers a unique accommodation experience right on the flowing Kwai Noi River. All floating rooms are tucked into a floating bamboo lodge moored along the historic River Kwai Noi and surrounded by lush green mountains and jungle. At this "floatel", the historic River Kwai Noi flows underneath your bed. The walls are weaved from local bamboo decorated with wooden furniture reflecting the Mon living style (hotel subject to availability). Day 2: Following breakfast, your guide will take you by long-tail boat back to your private vehicle. After another 45 minutes to 1 hour of travel will take you to Erawan National Park, where you will find the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand: the Erawan Waterfalls. The waterfall consists of 7 plateaus, and you can hike to the highest level through a small jungle path. After reaching the top, you will still have plenty of time to discover the natural fish spas, see the natural shaped slides, and go for a swim. Following lunch, you will be taken back to your hotel in Bangkok.

We got picked up at the sceduled time at our Hotel and went to the Trainmarket. The arrival could'nt have been better, cause 15 Minutes after arrival the train startet. Awesome experience!!! After that, floating market was quite touristic. Kanchanaburi we went to JEATH War Museum and River Kwai Bridge and had a nice Lunch at the river. Highlight of our 2 day Trip was the Stay at Jungle Raft Floating Hotel. Amazing experience. Big recommendation. Next Day Erawan Nationalpark with 7 great Waterfalls. Go up to the 7th and have a bath there. Most lovely place and not so crowded. All in all a very nice Tour with guide Rudi, wo did everthing the 2 days to give us an awesome experience.

This tour was AMAZING!! Our guide Nira and driver Sam were fantastic. Nira took us to extraordinary and scenic areas we didn’t even expect; such as the train market in Bangkok and a flower garden overlooking a large hydroelectric plant/dam. The crown jewel of this epic tour was the floating bungalow resort. I had no idea it was a twenty minute boat ride up river into a remote and gorgeous area. Absolutely stunning!! Highly recommend this tour!!

Our family had a fantastic experience on this trip. The organisation and logistics were superb, but the highlight of the whole trip was our guide, Ben. She was with us throughout, giving us interesting information on all the sights and sounds, but she also went above and beyond a normal tour guide - recommending Thai dishes to order for lunch - and she managed to get our 3 young sons eating and enjoying the local food! She was fantastic with the kids, they are still talking about her almost 2 weeks later. Would 100% recommend the trip, and Ben (if you can get her!). Thank you
