A sobering experience to visit the Kwai memorial and cemetary, but historical perspective well done. We watched a the train passed over the bridge and later saw where the tracks now end. Erawan falls was beautiful. After acending to the 7th level, we enjoyed soaking our feet in the cool water while the fish gently tickled them. Lunch was a nice Thai meal. There was plenty of food. After making our way to the longboat, we took a short ride to the Jungle Huts an the Kwai River. There was still enough time to visit the Budda cave and the Mon village. Dinner was nice and we had a peaceful rest on the river. The next morning we visited the floating market. There were few boats but still enough for the experience. We made back to the hotel mid afternoon. We highly recommend this tour. Neera was our guide and Sam the driver.

We enjoyed the excursion and the whole schedule. The Jungle Rafts were a great experience. The no electricity was a great way to have my whole family disconnect from the world for a couple days. The food was a little disappointing since we were expecting authentic Thai food. But the Jungle Raft served good that suite Europeans (eggs, sausage. Toast). The floating markets were really cool. We actually bought things from vendors on boats. The tour guide was a little dry and didn’t talk too much, but I definitely have had worse. He was nice and well mannered.

It was a great tour - and I would recommend taking 3 days tour, to extend this amazing experience. We had a great guide with personal touch who really cares to make it a memorable experience . The jungle rafts hotel is really cool - just be prepared for no internet, and electricity - unplug and enjoy the nature. We highly recommend this tour.

Really the best experience to see Kanchanaburi. A private tour for the 2 of us, excellent explanation and beautiful accommodations and activities. Highly recommended!

The tour is the best I've ever done. Spending so much time with these wonderful animals is just amazing. The guides and staff are very friendly.
