The resort is just two and a half hour drive from Bangkok. It got impressive abundant nature with many big trees, singing birds, beautiful butterfly and slowly flow of river Kwai. A good place for relax. I enjoy spending my holidays with family and friends. My kids very much enjoy biking, rafting and swimming in the river every days during our visit. The villa rooms are newly renovated and equipped well for comfortable stay. It is spacious and clean. The service staffs are helpful.

The resort has a lot of big lovely trees and Kwai Noi River is We stayed in bungalow with 2 rooms with connecting door. We can park in front of our bunglow. All facilities are good in the room. There's a bicycle for rent and our kids enjoy riding a bike. There're sheep with fresh grass to feed in the morning. In the afternoon, Elephants are walking to taking a bath at Kwai Noi River. Food are organic and delicious. Rafting along Kwai Noi River is really good. There will be a tram from resort picking you up at the end of rafting, and you can see the farming and local scenario along the way back to resort.

At the legacy river kwai resort was all nice. there are lots of activities there just for example bird watching and also rafting which was really great. but one of the favourite activity I like the most is probably biking because the road in the legacy is really a great place to go biking while biking with my friends we get to enjoy the view and not only that we got to see sheeps and retired elephants walking. At first I thought that from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi would take a lot of time but actually it wasn't at all it was 2 hours from bangkok. It was really worth going there because it is actually a place where there is a lot of trees and good for relaxing and not only that the food there was really good they have a lot of types of food. So for me I would highly recommend anyone to come to the legacy river kwai it's worth going there

Legacy River Kwai is a resort which really allows the customers to enjoy nature. One of the resort’s biggest strengths is that it allows the customers to enjoy nature while also being comfortable, this includes good food, comfortable rooms and all around good service. This is in contrast to places like national parks where we have to compromise comfort for nature. This resort does both very well. This resort has many fun activities to do, these include bamboo rafting, biking, bird watching and more. These activities really allow you to enjoy nature and personally helped me to reach a deeper understanding of it. To conclude, I feel that this resort has helped me to appreciate nature and also allowed me to enjoy fun activities.

The resort is wonderful greenery. We went Bird watching and saw over 20 species within a short time showing how well preserved the area is. The accommodation is very nice with space between each units so that it always feel calm and peaceful. My son enjoyed the bicycle ride and a rafting down the river with his friends. The Elephant sanctuary is a good idea for the retired elephants. Good thai food. Great for family outing within a short 2 hours ride from Bangkok.

We stayed here second time already. The resort is full of tall big tree you can feel very close to nature. The land is located along Kwai Noi river and we can enjoy river view and walking along the river. Room is clean and adequate. They also provide bicycle for rent and rafting service both of which are very good activities for family. They teach organic vegetable farming and selling organic plant, soil and fertilizer. Their food is also very good. Plenty of good food for breakfast and a la carte asian food during the day. Family of all ages can have real good time together here. Highly recommended!

The hotel has many bungalows , spread in a lush forest to host the guests, and a terrasse above the river Kwai to eat and take a drink, besides other restaurant and bar facilities. Rooms are a bit used, but neat and spacey . The garden is beautiful , they have 2 smaller neat pools and a large moat in the park. A la Carte Food was good and tasty. We did not like only 2 orders, first a glass of fresh orange juice for 100baht, was max 80ml and certainly at 35°C , and a glass of redwine , max 70 ml for 160 baht , that was really not a good deal. All other food and drinks were good. Best at this hotel however is the Elephant sanctuary and Elephant museum, they host. Somboon legacy is a truely ethical non commercial Elephant sanctuary , and visitors receive a lot of information, and can watch and study the 2 almost free sweet elderly Elephant Ladies, but it is a hands free experience , the Elephants are not bothered by any of the guests and visitors . Keep in mind , no hand feeding , no riding no bathing of the Elephants, only watching :-). A truely beautiful, and sustainable concept. The Elephant sanctuary pays off for any visit , it is a must have experience in Kanchanaburi region.

The resort is big! Bungalows are spread out over the property giving you peace and privacy. My favorite was looking out my window and seeing an elephant (!!). The resort is a nice getaway from busy Bangkok and all its noise. Here you can listen to the birds, geckos and other animals. Staff are all very friendly and always had a smile. There’s a pool and spa area, which is a nice place to relax in the afternoon. The resort’s main building has a little cafe area plus restaurant. The food was always good and at a reasonable price. Nearby attractions are Erawan Falls, temples and the River Kwai. The resort can help arrange transport.

This is the perfect place to get in touch with nature and forget all the stress of the city. The staff is kind and try the best to make your stay perfect. The food is delicious and the facilities clean. The massages are perfect. The best part are the two elephants you can see freely around the property.
