Description
Ploy River Kwai is a reasonably new spot and a welcome addition for those who want to stay near the river but want something a cut above a thatch or bamboo shack. Running towards the river in two solid concrete buildings (one has two floors, the other just one) the rooms are well-sized, and by Kanchanaburi standards well decorated. All the 14 ground floor rooms have private bathroom gardens with showers that are open to the air, firm beds on raised wooden platforms and the most expensive rooms have cable TV. Ploy River Kwai also has a medium-sized restaurant that rambles down to the river, and a rather unusual tower which has a rooftop sala for relaxing in. The only thing missing here is the pool. Note, you cannot see the river from the rooms. All room prices include breakfast for two.

Ploy is a delightful, beautiful place to stay. The service is great and you feel very welcome. The rooms are nice and very clean, you will sleep comfortably.
Lovely place -

Past the garage-like entrance are the prettiest mid-range accomodations we've had in Thailand. The friendly staff, stylish rooms with private gardens & open air showers (with adequate privacy) more than compensate for the staff's occasional language difficulty & less-than-filling breakfast.Online reservations are answered promptly.Very pleased with our stay here.
Almost perfect -

We really liked this place. The rooms are very nicely decorated and the whole place is very well landscaped. We had a cheaper room and I found it a bit spartan without a TV, but this won't bother everyone (for example, my wife). Service was very good. Cooked breakfast is included but don't get too excited - it is a fried egg and a dodgy looking sausage. Just ask for toast. Also note they don't take credit cards.
just a great place -

I was there at the begining of december 2005, just found this adress by travelfish website, you can go there with your closed eyes if you like something not too rude or something better than a guest house...
everybody is so welcoming so quickly(just after seeing if you are a good person), i took deluxe room with little garden inside and open air bathroom , everything is quiet clean, warm water, a good bed.
Just a bad think : the breakfast, not bad but not good too... Then i've took my breakfats at another place...
Just ask Pat the young girl who speak english, so nice, so helpfull.
