Readme before you journey
Today, I'm here to recommend another travel route in Kanchanaburi. Today, we've reached Ep. 4. Here are the previous episodes:
- Ep. 1: Visiting Mallika City and staying at Tree Tara Resort
- Ep. 2: Visiting Sangkhlaburi, the Mon Bridge, Takhian Thong, and Phu Chom Mok
- Ep. 3: Finding peace at Wat Tham Phu Wa and relaxing at The Float House
Kanchanaburi, or Kanchanaburi as it is often called, is probably the province I visit most often. It might be because it's close to Bangkok, only a 2-hour drive away. Or it could be because Kanchanaburi is a province rich in tourist attractions, with new places to visit and stay popping up all the time. This time, we'll be visiting the currently popular Mina Cafe and staying at NATEE The Riverfront Hotel, a hotel in the heart of the city by the Kwai River.

It takes about 2 hours to get from Bangkok to Mina Cafe. Mina Cafe is located in Tha Muang District, behind Wat Tham Sua. If you're not sure how to get there, click here: https://goo.gl/maps/xwtxH2T5CYx
The Allure of Minacafe: A Tranquil Oasis Amidst Verdant Fields
Minacafe's defining characteristic lies in its idyllic setting amidst sprawling rice paddies. This unique location offers patrons a breathtaking vista of vibrant green fields, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The picturesque backdrop is further enhanced by the presence of Wat Tham Sua, a revered cave temple, adding a touch of cultural significance to the landscape.
The back of the shop has a long walkway that stretches out into the green rice fields, making it a beautiful spot for taking photos.
Please translate the following sentence:
Naka Cafe now offers food options.
Simple and easy-to-make dishes like noodles and stir-fried basil.
After lunch and coffee, we will continue our journey to NATEE The Riverfront Hotel. Here is the map: https://goo.gl/maps/zfvMrqiLno92
The NATEE The Riverfront Hotel is located in the heart of Kanchanaburi city, just a stone's throw away from the iconic Bridge over the River Kwai. Its address is 77 Mae Nam Kwai Road, Mueang District, Kanchanaburi. For inquiries, you can call 034-518-777 or visit their website at https://www.nateetheriverfront.com. You can also find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/NateeTheRiverfront/. The hotel's facade is adorned with large stones, adding a touch of elegance to its exterior.
The reception area features stylish seating for guests.
Let's go check out the room first.
The mini bar at NATEE The Riverfront Hotel is complimentary, except for beer.
Let's take a look at the bathroom, which has separate wet and dry zones.
The highlight of this place is the Jacuzzi bath with a view of nature.
Opportunity to view the Jacuzzi Riverfront room – Pool Access
It looks like the Jacuzzi Riverfront room,
..but with pool access.
After checking out the room, let's explore the surrounding area of the hotel.
The hotel's swimming pool is located on the other side of the hotel, which is the side facing the river.
Adjacent to the swimming pool is the hotel's restaurant, The Railway Restaurant.
The restaurant boasts stunning views of the River Kwai.
A unique feature is the model train that runs along the ceiling, adding a touch of whimsy to the dining experience.
The ground floor of the hotel has a garden where children can play.
Or you can use it for yoga.
Next to the garden, there is a small living room with books to read.
But it seems that we should bring our own books to read.
The living room is connected to a fitness room equipped with a treadmill, an exercise bike, and dumbbells.
The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.
The hotel offers bicycle rentals for guests to explore the area, including the Bridge over the River Kwai and the Allied War Cemetery.
After finishing, I'm going to soak in the water and enjoy the view.
After a refreshing swim, it was time for dinner. We headed down to The Railway Restaurant.
The menu includes spicy catfish salad with a strong tom yum flavor, followed by carbonara with bacon and cheese. The carbonara is rich with eggs and cheese, perfect for cheese lovers.
Crab fried rice and grilled pork neck, delicious like hotel-style fried rice with not much vegetables.
The grilled pork is tender and has a slight grilled aroma.
And I must say that the fish sauce chili is very delicious.
The Cold Brew Affogato is a rare find on most menus, and its taste is surprisingly good.
There are two ways to enjoy it: either let the coffee slowly drip over the ice cream,
or stir it until the ice cream melts and blends with the coffee.
Strawberry Smoothie
The evening atmosphere at the hotel
We had breakfast at the same place as yesterday.
The food here includes bacon, ham, sausage, stir-fried noodles, stir-fried vegetables, chicken stir-fried with pepper, white rice, and mushroom rice porridge.
Egg menu, including boiled eggs, poached eggs, omelets, and more.
Vegetable salad, orange juice, guava juice, apple juice
My favorite is homemade smoothie
It's an orange smoothie, very delicious
After breakfast, we went for a walk.
At NATEE The Riverfront Hotel, we allow check-out until 12:00 PM. Before heading home, I caught a glimpse of a unique and iconic souvenir of Kanchanaburi: a railway spike. It was a railway spike from the World War II era. I thought it would be a great addition to my collection.
For those who want to relax in a comfortable way like this, you can contact NATEE The Riverfront Hotel.
