My stay here was nothing short of amazing! After being in Bangkok for a week, the location of the resort was perfect! Off the beaten path and very relaxing. Close to Kanchanaburi and not too far from Erawan falls. The resort had by far the best views of the sunrise and sunset I have seen so far on my trip in Thailand and that is not a exaggeration! I was able to do yoga in the morning to watch the sunrise. I assumed this resort was going to be set up similar to most hotels. But each room is actually a little cabin spread out throughout the property. It was a unique experience and the cabin was very cozy and private. The staff are extremely accommodating and friendly, they made me feel right at home. The pool is very clean, I enjoyed spending my time reading and eating an ice

One of the most original hotels I was lucky to be in Thaïland. Traditional architectural Bungalows made in Teck. So big, you should have a map to find your bungalow and you have to take a little train or simply walk 15 minutes til the restaurant and main building, surrounded by the jungle animals noises. Dinner in the garden with gastronomical delicious food. Continental and typical breakfast in the morning. Unbelievable and Unforgettable

What a wonderful resort. Not only is the food delicious and the staff friendly but there are two elephants roaming around the lush grounds of the resort. I felt so comfortable in my wooden cabin and was completely relaxed after my Thai massage and jacuzzi experience. Yoga by the river at sunrise was such a wonderful experience and the banana smoothies are next level. If you are looking for a place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of day to day life, you have found it!

Choosing this resort for my stay was complete accident, but the moment I got here, I felt that this is my place to be... I was feeling extremely drained with big city life and wanted to rest somewhere close to nature and I found out that this resort is placed in very green area, by the river Kwai. I really didn't expected it will be THAT green, with so many different places to relax, fresh air and peaceful vibe. Literally everyday I was discovering something new -swimming in the pool, riding a bike in their huge area, walking by the river, meditating and practicing yoga in the morning, watching elephatns bath(!), hiking... That was more than I expected. I talked to people taking care of two elephants and I made sure that this place is not only great resort, but also amazing

We stayed here in december 2019 and really enjoyed the beautiful environment. It‘s very calm and peaceful with nature all around, the restaurant with a fantastic view over the river kwai is really beautiful. Also there are two elephants that are well taken care of and guests can observe them taking a bath in the river each afternoon around three - beautiful to see! The staff is nice and friendly and is doing all they can to make the guests stay as pleasant as possible :) Overall a great place to stay for a few nights and disconnect from stressful city life!

We had an awesome time at the Legacy River Kwai resort. Such a beautiful facility and super friendly staff. They have 2 elephants they rescued that roam around the resort that you can observe for most of the day which was such a cool experience, getting to see them in their natural habitat! I would definitely recommend this resort for anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and relax while being surrounded completely by nature.

Excelente and relaxed complejo located a short taxi ride away del centro de Kanchanaburi, set in extensive grounds which have been beautifully landscaped and maintained by the team of gardeners, and resident rebaño de ovejas allowed to graze on the fields, hedgerow and podas artísticas. Wide-ranging facilities include a small piscina more suited to splashing than anything else and a sports centre. The grounds are grande enough for serious mileage along the short riverbank running trail and the caminos tranquilos of the complejo - so long as you don’t mind multiple loops surrounded by jaca and platano arboles, stands of bambú and other tropical flora. The complejo shares its property with Somboon Legacy, which requires all visitantes to treat their two elefantes con respeto

This is th first time I have come up for this resort. In fact, I could not say enough amazing things. The staffs and their services made me feel as home sweer home. The swimming pool is always blue and I spent a super relax time there. The natural life is as same as I live in the woods with the friendly elephants. I almost forgot the traffic jam, the noisy street and poluted air. I love here so much. And, thank you for the time here.
