SLEEPING IN KANCHANABURI
Travellers tend to navigate towards a 1km stretch of Th Mae Nam Khwae, where budget guesthouses offer river-
front views on raft houses. In contrast, there are several new boutique midrange spots on this strip and just out of
town.
241 Th Mae Nam Khwae; r 200-850B; ) Arguably the best of the raft-house options, nature wraps it-
self around Blue Star, creating a feeling of remoteness and tranquillity. Cheaper rooms have cold showers.
wae; r 1400-1700B; ) With the kind of king-size beds you just want to jump on, this pretty
boutique resort does everything well. Rooms overlook a swimming pool and have heaps of natural light. Service
is excellent.

443 Th Mae Nam Khwae; r/ste incl
breakfast 3600/4237B; ) Granted, the rooms here are pretty small for the price tag, but they're
packed with clever amenities (an iPod and widescreen TV) and the hotel's location, on an attractive bend in Mae
Nam Khwae within eyeshot of the famous bridge, is probably the best in town. Located 300m north of the Death
Railway Bridge.
