Pong Phen Kanchanaburi- Jan 2024
Cute and quirky place in a great location. Loved late afternoon beer overlooking the river. Very tranquil. Just one thing....some travellers are not considerate enough on their own in terms of their smoking habit around others. I wish they would ask guests to not smoke on the restaurant area, certainly not during breakfast hours.

It is what it is. A busy place based on inexpensive rooms with breakfast included. Obviously needs some repairs and renovation. But for the price it was fine

Favourite place to stay in kanchaniburi
Amazing place, very clean and friendly and quiet. A lot of freedom. Other clients seem to be mostly older gents and their local wives, but no trouble or noise. Favourite place to stay and will be back. Pool is amazing

Fantastic place to stay - very good value! I stayed in one of the bungalows which had a nice, small balcony. Location is excellent - off the Main Street, but still quiet. Breakfast, which was included, was very tasty! I liked it so much, I extended my stay by two days.
