What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
KAAN Riverkwai Restaurant offers a stunning riverside dining experience with generally well-executed Thai cuisine. Diners praise the authentic flavors and the picturesque ambiance, especially during sunset. However, some mention that portion sizes can be small for the price, and service consistency can vary, with a few preferring Thai dishes over Western options.
"Perfect dining experience, from the food taste, ambience (river kwai view and music), interior and fast service. The portion can be slightly bigger and its slightly pricier than other restaurant but it was no big deal as the flavorful dishes blew my mind, especially the turmeric rice with seafood and the pork neck when dipped in their spicy sauce. They have also uniquely crafted desserts and selection of cakes! Super recommended!"

"I'd say this was the best testing food we got in the province. Might look like a tourist trap but it is anything but!
The food was intense. They do not shy away from authentic Thai taste, which was a blessing among other places catering for milder palate.
The place was beautiful, lots of spots for photoes and full view of the river.
The allow pets inside but only in their cradle or cart."

"Quality food in well curated atmosphere by the river, with outside seating and indoors air conditioned tables
Despite the very spacious area and lots of tables, food come out very quickly and cooks are very skilled, taste to very high standard.
Service on the other hand don’t quite go with the decor, from cleanliness of the tables to understanding and meeting dietary needs like allergies, big city quality food but local service so adjust your expectations
Spot’s also popular with Thai tourists seeking photo ops to big groups, not a place for romantic dinner for sure, family friendly instead.
Beef curry with Tumeric (แกงระแวง) is a rare find and recommended
Other dishes with beef were fresh and of suitable quality so the menu has been considered with care
Outstanding in the area"

Three Days in Kanchanaburi with Kids
Kanchanaburi is best known as the home of The Bridge over the River Kwai, but we chose to visit there on our Thailand family vacation for the amazing outdoor activities. In our three days in Kanchanaburi with kids (aged 3 & 5), we were able to do our three favorite outdoor activities; hiking, biking and kayaking.
Kanchanaburi and the Bridge Over the River Kwai
Kanchanaburi is just under two hours north-west of Bangkok by taxi. It is here that the history of the ‘Death Railway’ crossing the Bridge over the River Kwai, which was constructed by prisoners of war during the Second World War, lives on.
