The Xcape River Kwai

Thailand Award-Winning Kwai Noi Riverside Escape with Daily Breakfast

9.2
The Xcape River Kwai logo

Embrace peaceful luxury living at The Xcape River Kwai, a design-led boutique hotel perched on the banks of the Kwai Noi River in Thailand. Surrounded by rice paddies and sugar cane plantations, with a mountain-range backdrop, this serene sanctuary couldn’t seem further from the bustle of Bangkok — but is just a 2.5-hour drive from the capital. While you may be tempted to spend all your time in the water, there’s plenty to explore on land: the historic city of Kanchanaburi is 20 minutes away, as is the River Kwai bridge, made famous by the iconic 1950s movie The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Super great hotel. Breakfast is nice... Can be improved though. Had some issue at checkout with a bitter worker that treated us like we want to steal from the hotel... But quickly resolved with the nice manger. Overall would definitely recommend staying here for a high end stay.

This is my second time stay at this wonderful resort. I chose two bedroom pool villa and we love it. We’ll definitely come back again ❤️😊 We forgot something and the resort contacted us and shipped it to us without any cost. Thank you so much 🙏

Totally enjoyed our stay in this beautiful resort! Rooms: We had a pool villa and a floating cabin as there are 6 of us. Love both! Floating cabin is little small tho', but it was nice to have the kayak right outside. Very surprised that the cabin is really floating, as it sways a bit with every boat that passed by. Breakfast: Decent selections (ala carte). How's the coffee?: Good cappuccino and latte! What about the property? : Well maintained. Landscape well manicured. Pool is clean. I suggest more pool chairs as there are only 6 or 7. Location: Peaceful and tranquil. I would suggest self-drive, as we did. The nearest town, or for that matter, all attractions, are at least 20 mins drive away. You won't want to be at the mercy of the resort for getting around. Suggestion to resort: A gym / fitness room would be real nice! Do consider!

I feel very fortunate to have enjoyed a brief stay in one of the hotel's "Falling Water Villas". These villas, and the whole property, can be considered an architectural masterpiece. All the elements of the materials, the soft furnishings, the natural & artificial light, and most importantly - the sound of the falling water - combine to make a sensory explosion that goes so far beyond just a "hotel room". Even the small details are covered, such as the high-quality Bluetooth speakers throughout the villa. The setting, on a bend of the river, is exceptionally peaceful, and aligned perfectly for sunrise. My stay was too short to enjoy the amenities like cycling & kayaking, but I have no doubt these would be fun to do. It's clear that all the staff have complete guest satisfaction as their main target. Highly recommend a stay here - the longer the better!
