A Two-Day Trip to Kanchanaburi: Highly Rated Floating House Stay and Nearby Attractions

June 25-26, 2024: Rainy Trip to Kanchanaburi and Bangkok 🌧️ Over these two days, we had a journey full of surprises and changes in Kanchanaburi and Bangkok. Despite the uncooperative weather, we enjoyed every moment! ❤️ **8:00 | Start of Kanchanaburi Trip** 🚗 We set off early from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi. Although we encountered traffic jams, turning the original 3-hour drive into 4 hours, it didn't diminish our excitement for the trip. Plus, the ladies love shopping so much that even at a rest stop, they couldn't stop buying! We got a super sweet pomelo for 150 THB. Highly recommended! **Lunch | Keeree Tara Restaurant** 🍽️ Upon arriving in Kanchanaburi, we headed straight to Keeree Tara Restaurant for lunch. The food at this floating restaurant and the surrounding river view made us forget the fatigue of the long journey. Although the prices are a bit high, the view makes it worth it. **River Khwae Bridge** 🌉 After lunch, we walked for 2 minutes to the nearby River Khwae Bridge to take some photos. This famous bridge looked magnificent even on a rainy day, adding a touch of historical depth to our trip. **The FloatHouse River Kwai Resort | Floating House Stay** In the afternoon, we checked into the floating house at The FloatHouse River Kwai Resort. Despite the bad weather, the river view here was still mesmerizing, and the rainy scenery had a special charm. Enjoying the hotel's facilities and tranquil atmosphere, we were the first guests to check in today. Taking a boat to the hotel for check-in was a unique experience. It happened to be my aunt's birthday, although she insisted it wasn't her birthday because her birth date was reported late. Nevertheless, I bought a cake 🎂 and candles 🕯️ at a rest stop and celebrated at the hotel's restaurant. The staff were very considerate, putting the cake on a beautiful plate, lighting the candles, and playing the birthday song, making the birthday experience complete! **6/26** **Morning | Forest Walk** 🌳 We originally planned to set off at 9 AM, but due to the rain the previous day, we decided to delay by an hour and take a walk in the forest near the hotel first. We initially planned to visit the Noon Cave but found out it would take 45 minutes to get there, so we gave up. However, walking around nearby was still great. We planned to visit Erawan Waterfall, but due to the rain, we had to leave it for next time. This place, with its seven-tiered waterfall and spa fish, is definitely on our list for the next visit! **10:00 | Malika - R.E 124** 🏰 Later, we drove to Malika - R.E 124. In this place full of historical and cultural atmosphere, we strolled leisurely and took many beautiful photos. Probably because it was a weekday, there weren't many people in the park, allowing us to fully enjoy the tranquility and beauty here. **Afternoon | Thonburi Seafood Market** 🦞 In the afternoon, after arriving in Bangkok, we first went to Thonburi Seafood Market to feast. The seafood here is really cheap and plentiful! Extremely fresh and satisfying! I highly recommend the marinated shrimp. Super delicious! **Check-in | Vince Hotel Pratunam** 🏨 In the evening, we checked into Vince Hotel Pratunam. We originally planned to visit the night market, but due to the rain, we had to change our plans and went shopping at the nearby Big C instead. **Big C | Buying Souvenirs** 🛒 At Big C, we saw countless tourists, all pushing carts full of souvenirs as if everything was free. We joined this shopping frenzy and picked out many interesting little gifts for our friends and family. These two days were full of changes due to the weather, but we still had a great time. Thanks to every little episode on this trip, we experienced different sceneries and stories. Looking forward to the next adventure! ❤️
