Donut Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hello all, I started my travels in LOS 14 years ago by going to Kanchaburi. I had a good time there and returned the following two years but havn't been back since. Now I am planning a return to show my kids Kan'buri and need some good recommendation for hotels/guest houses, bars, restaurants etc. all input is greatfully appreciated. /D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pescator Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 There are some great guest houses along the river, we stayed last year at Sam`s House which is situated on the river bank in a lovely garden. The Jolly Frog restaurant was particularly popular with my kids as they also serve large western meals at very good prices and the restaurant is in nice settings. A list of other Guest Houses in `Kan: http://www.kanchanaburi-info.com/en/guesthouse.html cheers hn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Depending how old your kids are...when I was there last year, I enjoyed swimming in the river, but it is a very fast river and for young one, very dangerous! We stayed up river, in a river house. Great place, nice, relaxing time. I just booked everything thru a BKK tour company so it was easy and not too expensive. I will do it again!

Donut Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi all, thanks for the feedback. I will try to get a hotel by/on the river. I used to swim in the river as well but the kids are too small and I remember getting alarmed by some of the things I saw floating by :thumbdown: Thanks again, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I once knew a girl who lived in Kanchanaburi. Long time ago, when I was a young man. Not a day passes that I don't think of her, and the promise I made, which I will always keep. That one perfect day in Kanchanaburi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 From the first line of that, I was really looking forward to a funny limerick. You disappointed me, Munchmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Kong Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Any tips on getting there from BKK? I'm at Victory Monument, so can travel by van or go, I guess, to the Southern Bus Terminal (or would Hualamphong Station be better)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 i would rent a car. Kanchanaburi town is not very interesting (maybe except the famous Karaoke boats!). you have to go out of town! have gone several times all the way to the 3 Pagoda pass and each time discover something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
