I had a wonderful time at Boutique Raft Resort. the setting by the river was amazing and peaceful. The food was decent and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. However, the air conditioning was quite noisy, and the swimming conditions were affected by the strong river current during my stay.

The resort's location is perfect for nature lovers. nestled on the Kwae River, it offers tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. However, it’s a bit isolated, so you have to eat at the hotel restaurant due to the lack of nearby options.

The resort has lovely outdoor spaces including a terrace facing the river. the swing and garden toys were a hit with the kids. Unfortunately, the swimming pool was not usable during my visit due to the current.

My stay at Boutique Raft Resort was a good experience overall. The serene atmosphere by the river really helped me unwind. While the food and service were impressive, I faced some challenges with the local dogs outside the hotel, which made exploring less enjoyable. Still, I found the cozy rooms comfortable and appreciated the gorgeous views! 😊
