Great experience by the River Quai

Christian_M, Dec 2025

I can recommend this tour. It was a great experience. The tour guides spoke english and were very knowledgeable. Viator's description of the tour was followed. I can also recommend the beautiful resort “Resotel“ which provided good service and food. The rooms are in very nice bungalows surrounded by trees.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the 2-Day River Kwai adventure and that our guides provided the knowledgeable service we strive for. It’s also wonderful to know you enjoyed the unique atmosphere and hospitality at the Resotel—those jungle bungalows are truly special! We appreciate you confirming that the tour followed the description perfectly, as we want all our guests to feel confident when booking with us. Thanks, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

A terrific experience

William_W, Jan 2020

The visit to the historic Hell Fire Pass and the memorials to the Thai- Burma Railway was well worth the time. The history of this area is important to appreciate the sacrifice by tens of thousands of prisoners of war and others. The tour was efficient and your guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The only downside was contending with the Bangkok traffic on return.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Dear Guest, Thanks for booking and taking our 2 day River Kwai tour and we are thrilled you had a great 2 days with us and I am so sorry about the traffic in your return. Regards, Nick
