Cool little experience here. Breathtakingly beautiful waking up directly on the river to sunrise each day. Lots of river sounds at night, roosters early in the morning from the local villages. Rooms are cleaned really well. For food the Thai dishes are delicious - recommend the fresh fish! Don’t expect much from the western dishes, which is the same for all of Thailand. Lots of little day trips to do in the local area, or just float down the river.

We were only stopping for 1 night. It was an interesting experience to stay on a floating room on the river. Beautiful surroundings but unfortunately it rained hence not had a chance to kayak or swim. The excellent point for us was the helpful staff who facilitated our shuttling between the 2 hotels as we had relatives staying next door. An unusual stay for anyone who is able-bodied. Definitely not for anyone who has difficulty with mobility.

The place is amazing ! Except for one thing: food. There is room for improvement there, especially since there is nothing close by.
