Thai Garden Inn

Tranquil atmosphere but overpriced

What we say:

Located across the river among sprawling banana farms, the Thai Garden Inn feels like a secluded countryside village. Rooms are in pleasant individual wood cabins, which curve around an open yard. All have private bath and come with either fan or air-con to go with framed Thai artwork, firm beds, woven bamboo furniture, fridges and front porches with chairs and tables. A decent bar and restaurant is perched on stilts over the reception area and serves complimentary breakfast and snacks throughout the day. WiFi is free. The inn also has a good-sized pool and we'd recommend the more secluded rooms set back beside it. The staff are friendly, if a bit timid. Overall we still like the Thai Garden Inn, but it is a shame they've raised their prices 300-400 baht in recent years while most other guesthouse in town have seen very minimal price increases. Unfortunately the great value that was once found here is no longer, and you'll find higher quality rooms for similar prices elsewhere. If you want to be totally surrounded by nature and don't mind spending the money, the Thai Garden is still a fine choice.

Not a good choice anymore!

We booked for 2 nights,left the GH after 12h. The GH is not very well maintained, some bungalows are in a bad state and everywhere it looks a bit dirty. Obviosly Thai Garden has seen better times. The owner seems far away and his staff is friendly but a bit slow. There was as nobody speaking English, no free pickup at the bus station and they offered no free bikes - everything said on their webside! The only thing that has not changed is the price of the rooms! They are a lot better GH around!

the friendliest place in Kanchanaburi

We spent one night in Kanchanaburi and stayed at Thai Garden Inn while there. Thai Garden Inn is run by extremely friendly people and they even picked us up from the train station for free when I called to inform them we had arrived. Our little wooden chalet was modest yet very tastefully decorated and despite the scorching heat we opted for the fan room which is THB650 per night. The lady at the reception was extremely nice and even let us use her motor bike for free to ride into town. She also recommended us tours to take while in Kanchanaburi and on the day we were leaving back to Bangkok, invited us to join in the birthday feast they were preparing for the owner of Thai Garden Inn. The pool was more than welcome after a day of trekking in the hot sun and the water was warm even late at night. Lots of privacy and great service! highly recommended!
