Review of The Tryst River Kwai, a cool riverside resort in Kanchanaburi.
Anyone planning to visit Kanchanaburi, read this review first. We’ll take you to explore the coolest and trendiest accommodation, The Tryst River Kwai. Located in a serene setting by the quiet little Kwai River, the design is sleek and unparalleled. The Tryst River Kwai is the hottest accommodation spot, almost always fully booked, so make sure to reserve well in advance.
The Tryst River Kwai is located in the Sai Yok District, not far from Sai Yok Waterfall. It’s easy to find using GPS, but you might find the entrance a bit confusing. However, reaching there is not too difficult. The accommodation is a small-sized resort, and upon entering, you’ll find a lobby and a dining area. The rooms are scattered along the slope, with the lower ones situated right by the riverside.
The lobby serves as both the check-in point and the dining area. The atmosphere is comfortable, resembling a café. Sitting here, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the river.
The highlight of The Tryst River Kwai is not just in its main facilities but in the distinctively decorated rooms, each showcasing a cool and unique design. Each room type features its own distinctive decor. The room I stayed in is called ‘Panoramic River Scene,’ located at a corner, offering a wide-angle view of the meandering river. The bathroom is particularly stylish, featuring a bathtub. It’s a comfortable and convenient stay, with a soft bed and bedding.
On the other side, we have the ‘River Scene (Pool View)’ room. The room has a similar design, but on this side, you can enjoy a view of the central pool.
This room type is called ‘Pool Garden.’ It comes with a small private pool on the balcony, though the view might not be a complete water view. You can catch a partial glimpse from certain angles. This room provides a private and relaxing atmosphere. The interior is styled in a small, chic loft with a semi-industrial feel. The bed comes in both twin and double configurations.
This room is incredibly hot! It’s newly built, and if you want to stay, I recommend booking two months in advance to ensure you get a room for real. It’s a small villa with a private pool and a slight barrier for added privacy. The villa is strategically situated away from the other accommodations. Inside, it’s luxurious and comes with a private pool, a bathtub, a Riverstone, and a sitting area for relaxation and private dining. This room also features a small private outdoor space where you can enjoy a barbecue.
Now, this is cool! This accommodation is flexible and caters to various preferences. The room you mentioned, ‘River Scape,’ follows a cabin-style design. Although the room size is not overly spacious, it offers a view of the river from a higher vantage point.
The ‘Panoramic River Vibe’ room, located on the river, is designed to be flexible and can accommodate additional guests. It is suitable for families or groups of friends, offering a wide view of the river and a private pool.
And the ‘See Through’ room, in this one, the bathroom is nearly as spacious as the bedroom itself.
The resort also features a small animal farm with adorable ducks and chickens, creating engaging activities for children.
The shaded grassy area is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the breeze while taking in the views. It’s a cozy and cool spot, and they sometimes organize small events with a vibrant atmosphere. I really like it!
Here, they offer barbecue services either at the central riverside grassy area or you can opt for a set-up directly on the terrace. The terrace has low tables and comfortable seating, creating a relaxed atmosphere. They have both large and small barbecue sets available. I chose the small set for 2-3 people at 650 Baht. The marinated meat was excellent, and the dipping sauce was delicious. Highly recommend trying it; it’s worth it. The atmosphere is also fantastic!
Don’t forget to wake up early and catch the morning mist; it’s a matter of luck whether there’s a lot or just a little. Unfortunately, during my stay, the mist was quite sparse, but it still created a beautiful atmosphere.
To conclude, the breakfast is served in an a la carte buffet style. You can order main dishes individually, and additional orders are allowed. As for the side items like bread, fruits, beverages, and the option to make your own pancakes, they are all readily available for self-service. It would be even better if there were more diverse options, but the presentation is beautifully done. Sometimes, you just have to appreciate the beauty.
