The Legacy River Kwai Resort

We initially booked for 4 nights but extended our stay and stayed 9 nights. Throughout our 9-day stay, we observed the daily cleaning routine, including gathering leaves and maintaining the garden. The property and bungalows are beautifully maintained, a clean pool with loungers and complimentary towels, and bicycle rentals. Nice cozy bungalows (air conditioning, hot water, great bed) we felt at home. Since we work remotely, this setting was ideal for us. The wifi was reliable throughout the property. Restaurant at the river: Great food and is open all day. Breakfast from a menu (all you can eat) and sometimes a buffet. Was very good! Elephants: You can observe 3 rescued elephants everyday in their natural environment. The elephants stroll by your bungalow every day. Incredible! What we appreciate is the policy that prohibits tourists from bathing with or riding the elephants, emphasizing a commitment to respecting the animals' normal life. Also other animals: sheep, chickens, and ducks. We enjoyed watching squirrels play near our bungalow everyday – amazing! The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the laundry service was amazing, providing fresh-smelling clothes within a few hours. They were helpful with taxi services, provided new towels, and offered daily cleaning and drinkable water. An ecological system: with vegetables sourced directly from the farm and fresh eggs from the chickens. 100% recommended!

The resort has many cabins in the forest. There were very few guests, so it was very quiet. A great place also for kids to just walk or bike around. And you get to see elephants every afternoon at 3:30 when they go for their bath in the river. You can also feed sheep, chicken and gather chicken eggs (great for kids). The food at the restaurant is also good. The aircon is also pretty silent. The rooms are fine. They have relatively recently been renovated, and they are three-star standard, not more not less.

The quiet location many trees,animals,river,food value & taste,some grown fresh.Pools ok!Resident rescue elephants living on property lease that bath in river every afternoon.

A wonderful place created by mindful people. The area is vast, and the foundation dedicated to rescuing elephants is truly remarkable. The breakfasts are hearty, and there’s a stunning view of the river. We highly recommend the Samboon Legacy Foundation operating in the area. The swimming pool is fantastic!

Pool was great even a hot tub area food is so good and staff amazing and to top it off elephants that we didn’t realise when we booked could have stayed long as so good
