Kohkorya Rerngwawee Raft

A raft room on the Kwai Noi

Rerngwawee is the raft you take when you want the water without taking a whole raft to yourself. Each room floats on the Kwai Noi, two or three people to a room, with the current going past underneath and very little asked of you. Cool season is the one to aim for — a light wind coming down the river, small waves knocking against the raft, trees on both banks.

Breakfast is included for everyone in the room. Bangkok is two to three hours away, which is close enough to leave after work on a Friday and far enough that it stops feeling like the city, and Kanchanaburi town is six minutes by car when you want the bridge, the market or dinner off the resort.
