We stayed one night as part of a two day package with tours etc, which started from our Bangkok hotel, and I wish we had stayed two nights! It’s a stunning setting! All the staff were lovely and friendly, everywhere was clean and comfortable, our guide was excellent looking after us the whole time which was really helpful (if on a package you have a guide the whole time), the guide in the coach was also excellent (called Umm I think?). The tent was clean, and an amazing experience listening to the noise of the birds and animals, the food was lovely and all activities excellent and very interesting and worth while. The area is beautiful and very interesting, and the site of the camp is actually one of the POW camps, so a moving experience, visiting the Mon village was also excellent as was the river boat trip. The only thing is that you do have limited times in the two museums, the Hellfire pass centre and River Kwai museum, both excellent but as it’s a trip you do only have a limited time and as this was my main reason to go it was t quite enough time. If you are visiting because you had a relative there for example, you may want or need more time. We both loved this trip, very worthwhile in every way, so interesting, and great to see a rural part of Thailand.

The camp resort is exceeded our expectations. With the price we booked for room + breakfast + dinner, it’s value for money. We did have a good quality relaxing time where the resort is adjacent to both the waterfront and the mountain. I love the fact that we can bike across the river, see the temple and explore the villager the way of life 😉

Definitely one of my favourite place
