The detail

Escape to utter paradise at The Float House River Kwai, an elegant floating hotel in south west Thailand. With a number of luxurious floating villas on offer, guests can relax in their gorgeous suites whilst gazing out across the river and the wonderful greenery beyond.

These amazing floating villas are surrounded by luscious Thai jungle and each one is spacious and super-comfy. You and your loved one are afforded total privacy throughout your stay and each suite is rich in custom-tailored teakwood furniture with thatched roofing above. This provides you with a delightful combination of local artistic traditions and the fabulous natural environment that surrounds you.

Each room also features a 32-inch flat screen TV and, the star of the show, a private sun deck with day beds. This is the perfect place to relax in the sunshine with a good book and a glass of something delicious as you watch the river float on by. And when bedtime beckons, you're guaranteed a great night's sleep thanks to the air conditioning and the luxurious beds with their big pillows and soft duvets. You even have your own well-stocked minibar as well as a personal safe and an umbrella. Each villa has its own bathroom also, which features a luxurious rainfall shower.

Before you eat, why not hop into the river itself for a luxurious dip in the cool, calm water? That should work up an appetite. And once you're ready to dine, you'll love the Pontoon Restaurant, that specialises in Thai and European cuisines, as well as offering some fantastic buffet spreads. After dinner, be sure to head to the Moon Lounge & Bar which features an open-air wooden deck, perfect for unwinding with a cocktail.

Guests can also book activities through the resort, such as bamboo rafting, jungle hiking and bird watching. And if you want some true indulgence, traditional Thai massage is also available.

If you wish to venture out and explore the area, you're just over a mile from Lawa Cave, and three miles from Mon Village. The Elephant Camp is also just a few miles away. If National Parks are your thing, then you're 15.5 miles from Sai Yoke Yai National Park and 31.1 miles from Erawan Waterfall.
