Navigating the complexities of adult life can sometimes lead to turbulent experiences, casting a gray and gloomy hue over our existence. In such moments, the most prudent course of action may be to simply let things unfold naturally, like the unperturbed flow of a river. We observe its effortless movement, unfazed by the gaze of onlookers, as it follows its predetermined path, unyielding to the forces of nature and gravity.
Today, we, Lazy Coup, are taking our friends to escape the ordinary and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. We'll be plunging into the River Kwai, riding wave after wave of happiness, and filling our lungs with pure joy at Float House and Jungle Raft, two sister hotels located on the River Kwai. These two distinct destinations offer a unique experience. (Both locations offer parking at the Phutakien Pier, from where you can take a boat to the resort.)

Our first accommodation, The Float House River Kwai, is a luxurious boutique-style hotel that floats on the water. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering us welcome drinks and taking excellent care of us. While Kim checked us in, I took a walk around to explore the area.
The lobby check-in area features stylish chairs that are perfect for taking photos and checking in simultaneously.

Let's get the furniture into the room. It's all wood, you see. It looks luxurious but with a strong natural feel.
Life jackets are available for your safety if you plan to swim. (Don't worry, we have plenty!)
The rooms here are incredibly spacious, measuring approximately 90 square meters. The high ceilings create a sense of openness and airiness. The best part is that you can enjoy stunning views of the River Kwai directly from your bed. Additionally, each room boasts a private balcony with a swing chair overlooking the river, offering a perfect spot for relaxation. You can even take a refreshing dip in the river right in front of your room. This hotel is ideal for both couples and families seeking a relaxing getaway or a romantic honeymoon.
The balcony offers a relaxing space with chairs, allowing you to enjoy the view from the front of the house.
The spacious outdoor area next to the house is perfect for gatherings.

This is a glimpse of the evening atmosphere as people start playing in the water. ^^ It's important to note that you can play in the water right in front of the accommodation.
This location offers both floating rafts (which drift along with staff members on board to ensure safety, allowing you to jump into the water wherever you like and rest on the raft when tired) and kayaks.
After relaxing in our room, we decided to head to the dining room for some delicious food.
As a cocktail enthusiast, I indulged in two drinks: a Blue Kamikaze, characterized by its vibrant blue hue, and a Pink Lady, adorned with a delicate pink color. Personally, I have a strong preference for the Pink Lady.

Let's take a look at the different corners of the restaurant. Each chair is adorned with a sweet pastel-colored cushion, making it both elegant and adorable.
Our dinner consisted of: Herb-fried sea bass, Tom Kha Gai (spicy coconut soup with chicken), stir-fried seafood with chili paste, and BBQ chicken. The dishes were both visually appealing and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Tom Kha Gai, which had a rich coconut flavor and a pleasant spiciness.
Another angle to let you know that it's a riverside dinner. Hehe.
After our bellies were full, we returned to the room to chat.
The night was especially cozy, with the soft glow of lights, the gentle patter of rain, and the perfect temperature for a good night's sleep.

A hearty breakfast is the perfect way to start the day.
At The Float House, there is a corner for feeding fish. You can walk across to the shore and feed the fish up close. There are a lot of fish!
After checking out, we traveled to River Kwai Jungle Rafts.
The next night's accommodation is at River Kwai Jungle Rafts, a hotel that allows us to fully experience nature. There is no electricity available here, day or night. There are hammocks to relax in and you can jump into the water from your room. The highlight of this place is the escape from the低头族 (lit. "低头族", a Chinese term for people who are constantly looking down at their phones) society and the opportunity to spend time talking, exchanging ideas, and getting to know each other better. You can have fun swimming with friends, eat dinner by candlelight with loved ones, and truly make the most of your time. (Just in case you're really addicted to your phone, you should bring a power bank.)
The bedroom is naturally air-conditioned, allowing you to fall asleep to the sound of the flowing river.
The room is equipped with a mosquito net, not just for decoration. It serves to protect against insects at night, ensuring a comfortable sleep.
I don't want to sleep in a hammock in front of the room. There's a flood in the back.
The ambiance is surrounded by lush greenery, reminiscent of a tropical rainforest.
From certain angles on the raft, the water appears extremely fast-flowing.
A dragonfly visited us right in front of our accommodation.
Although it rained in the afternoon, I still wanted to take photos. It was even more exciting when a boat braved the rain to come by.
The heavy rain finally arrived, but don't worry, the raft is safe.
After the rain stopped, I jumped into the water at the Pa Sak raft. The water was very strong, and it was a lot of fun. I received jackfruit seed snacks from my friends in the next room. Thank you very much.
I'm starting to get hungry. Let's go to the dining room.
These lanterns will help us see at night, as there is no electricity. It's good to live simply here, forgetting the outside world for a day or two.
The evening atmosphere here is excellent, very romantic.
Dinner tonight will be the same for all rooms. The menu includes chicken/fried red tilapia curry, stir-fried glass noodles with egg, stir-fried pork with red curry paste, and stir-fried mixed vegetables with chicken.
Or for those who enjoy a drink, you can sip lightly.
Early in the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast with a stunning view. The breakfast set is prepared for each guest, allowing you to savor the meal while sitting by the river.
After breakfast, the staff served a plate of sweet, crunchy pineapple. It was so sweet that we had to compete with the bees to eat it.
Ending the trip with a romantic dinner under the lights with my loved one. Cheers!
