Best Overwater Villas in Thailand (2023)

Updated on October 8, 2022 The Float House River Kwai Resort is a uniquely romantic floating hotel in western Thailand. These luxury villas are generally only reached by boat, so very much offer the sensation of getting away from it all.

The villas have around 90 square meters/1,000 square feet of space and have a nice, natural elegance; their thatched roofs, teakwood furniture and natural materials allowing you to feel at least a little in harmony with nature. If being too much in harmony with the deep jungle scares the hell out of some of you, rest assured you will have modern luxury hotel facilities too; air-con, mosquito nets, WiFi, flat-screen satellite TVs, DVD players, coffee machines, mini bars, very comfy thick mattress with luxurious linens etc. Apart from the two bedrooms you have a lounge area, very nice bathrooms with rainfall showers, and a private outside terrace with seating and lounging furniture.
