Home Phutoey River Kwai Hotspring & Nature Resort

Overall this is a great place to stay for a few days. The setting is wonderful and you do feel like you are really in the jungle at times. The rooms are very beautifully decorated and have most of the conveniences you could expect. The bathroom was spacious and the shower is powerful and very welcome after some very (very) hot days in mid-April! There are some really interesting features at this hotel such as the Weary Dunlop museum (all about the Burma, aka 'death', railway) and particularly the Jack Chalker gallery which is unique. The staff were mostly incredibly kind, helpful and efficient and went out of their way to help when they could. The food was decent but not exceptional and I think there could have been a few more non-Thai options.

There are many, many reasons to love this resort - especially the amazing riverside location and the comfortable rooms. We were very happy that the staff went to great lengths to accommodate our dietary requests (vegetarian / gluten-free), though we were a little disappointed that the breakfast buffet was very meat-dominant, which even regular meat-eaters might find a bit heavy first thing in the morning. We stayed in a private onsen villa, and the room was charming (the view was incredible). Our one and only real negative was that in both the private onsen in the room and the main hot spring pool in the resort (next to the regular swimming pool), chlorine is used in the water. As hot spring enthusiasts (we have travelled to more than a thousand around the world), we have to say that this is exceptionally unusual, entirely unnecessary and also completely negates the beneficial effects of the minerals in the thermal water. Thermal water constantly flowing into (and out of) a pool/tub should have no artifical chemicals added, and none of the nearby local hot springs in the region that we visited were doing this...so I'd encourage the resort to stop using chlorine and allow guests to enjoy a totally natural thermal experience.

A beautiful resort in the middle of the jungle and on the river. It is the perfect place to unwind and relax and listen to the sounds of nature. The hot springs was so relaxing . The staff are amazing and so helpful. I had a minor medical issue in the night and they arranged to take me to the pharmacy in town. They do their best to accommodate and help you with anything. The accommodation was so clean! A good size room and very large bathroom. We had an excellent stay!

Our stay at Home Phutoey River Resort was an absolute retreat into nature. The serene sounds of nature—birds chirping and the soothing flow of the river—created a peaceful atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed. The hot springs were a highlight, offering a perfect way to unwind and relax. The experience was so calming that we wished we could have extended our stay to explore more of the activities available. The staff provided excellent service, always attentive and accommodating, which added to the overall positive experience. This resort is a true gem for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge in a tranquil, natural setting. We can't wait to return!

Rooms are spacious and very well appointed. Onsen and river view were definitely worth the extra. Beds were super comftable. Staff were fabulous dealing with a problem that I had caused by changing my date of stay. Pool, lake and hot spring area were stunningly beautiful. Restaurant had a good choice and served excellent food. All could be ordered for room service. On final morning went to the museum area. The museum provided a stark reminder of the past and also informed of how the resort continues to educate the current generation on past.
