Thailand directory - River Kwai Jungle Rafts - Kanchanaburi
As dusk turns to night and the Kwai Noi river changes its mood, the cool evening wind reverberates
the magical sounds of Mon music and their Balinese-like dance.
Time drags on as the river moves. Our host tells folklor stories of the river over the wooden table under the candle light.
The Jungle Rafts provide food which is as good for the
body as the atmosphere is for the mind and spirit. You can select Thai or Western cuisine for the
evening and begin the day with a hearty American Breakfast.
