A Refreshing Escape at Rayaburi Resort

This trip to Rayaburi Resort in Kanchanaburi was a journey of self-discovery, a chance to reconnect with myself amidst the serene beauty of nature. Though the three-hour drive seemed long, it was well worth it for the single night I spent there.

The resort's location on the vast expanse of the Srinakarin Dam offered breathtaking views and a sense of tranquility. Despite the rainy season, the cool breeze and gentle drizzle created a cozy atmosphere, far from boredom or weariness.

The resort provided various activities to keep guests entertained, including kayaking, paddle boating, and scenic raft rides on the dam. These activities added to the overall experience, making it more than just a change of scenery.

My stay at Rayaburi Resort was a transformative experience, leaving me with a newfound appreciation for the simple pleasures of nature. The memories of this trip will stay with me long after I return home, a testament to the resort's unique charm.

If you're seeking a getaway that offers more than just a comfortable bed, Rayaburi Resort is definitely worth a visit. It's a place where you can reconnect with yourself and create lasting memories.

Our journey following Google Maps offers several routes. We set our starting point in Bangkok.

The car journey takes approximately 3 hours, with additional time for breaks, meals, and sightseeing along the way.

We recommend traveling to Raya Buri Kanchanaburi by private car for the most convenient experience.

Public transportation is not available due to the resort's location in a private area, away from the main road. Raya Buri Resort Kanchanaburi is situated above the Srinakarin Dam in Tha Kradan Subdistrict, Si Sawat District, approximately one hour from Kanchanaburi city.

When we decided to come and relax at Raya Buri, we didn't expect much at first. We thought it would be just like any other hotel or resort.

We have traveled and stayed at countless hotels and resorts, even in Kanchanaburi province, where we have been many times before.

However, we have never had the opportunity to sleep on a floating raft like this before.

This was our first time sleeping on a raft, and we were excited from the moment we passed the flowing Kwae Noi River with various resorts lining its banks. We couldn't wait to finally arrive at Raya Buri.

This is a blank paragraph.

I've arrived at Raya Buri Resort! There's a small, beautifully decorated cafe and a mini-mart next door for guests.

In case you forget anything, the mini-mart has everything you need.

Without further ado, I ordered an iced milk tea, my favorite drink, to try.

It turned out to be delicious and just to my liking, as I prefer it not too sweet. The staff made it without even asking me how I wanted it.

But it was exactly what I wanted.

I'm a real iced milk tea connoisseur, and I know what's good. I'm not exaggerating when I say this has become my go-to drink. Hehe.

The cute little cafe also has some cool photo spots for checking in.

The beautiful model wasted no time in capturing the perfect shot at the popular corner of the coffee shop.

Please check in at the Lobby.

This is a blank paragraph.

The lobby of Raya Buri is decorated with wood and alternating colors, interspersed with decorative plants.

At first glance, it appears somewhat dated. I understand that the resort has been in operation for approximately nine years.

When I posted a check-in on Facebook, some friends commented that they had visited before.

Some mentioned that it was difficult to book a room, suggesting that the resort is quite popular among tourists.

I'm surprised that this is my first visit.

Upon check-in, guests are greeted with a refreshing welcome drink.

After presenting your ID card and completing a brief registration form, you will receive your room key and breakfast coupons.

Let's head to our room and relax!

Tonight, we chose to stay in a floating hut. Raya Buri offers 5 types of rooms, starting at 1800 baht per night, including breakfast.

The room types are:

– Raya River View

– Raya Island Suite >> This is the type of room we got.

– Raya Lake View

– Raya Island

– Raya Hillside

When I asked the staff, they told me that the 5 types of rooms differ in terms of location. Some rooms are on the shore, while others offer different views.

There are also bungalows available. In total, there are 79 rooms.

We walked down to the floating huts. There are rooms on both the left and right sides, with a large open space in the middle for activities. There is also a pier for boats.

The rooms on the left and right sides are different. I asked the staff, and they told me that the rooms are all on the floating huts, but the size of the rooms varies.

Water bikes are also available for rent at 100 baht per hour. We didn't come here to cycle, though, because it looks like it would be tiring. 555

But we were interested in kayaking over there. After inquiring about the details, we found out that guests staying at Raya Buri can kayak for free for the first hour. You can get a 200 baht deposit for the paddle at the Lobby.

And if you return the paddle after kayaking, you will get your deposit back. If you want to continue playing in the 2nd-3rd hour, you will have to pay an additional 100 baht.

But we think that in less than an hour, you can burn a lot of calories. 555

Here it is, Raya Buri with the evening atmosphere during the rainy season. There is also mist to be seen at this time. It's so cool, isn't it?

The walkways to the various rooms on the floating raft are constructed with lightweight materials, as the base of the raft is made of large floating barrels. The rooms are arranged in a single row, and there is a noticeable sound when walking on the walkway. If you value privacy and prefer not to have people walking past your room or hearing these sounds, it is recommended to request a room located further inside the raft. As for me, I was fortunate enough to be assigned a room at the very end.

Entering the room, she immediately sat down like a music video heroine.

Beyond the balconies, the beautiful water of the dam fills our eyes. We came during the rainy season.

We don't expect a beautiful sunset.

Because just this, we are already happy.

The room has a private bathroom with all necessary amenities.

There is a hairdryer provided, and the wet and dry areas are separated by a glass curtain in the shower room.

At first, I thought it was a sliding curtain, but when I used it, it turned out to be a fixed glass curtain.

This evening at Raya Buri, it's our time to relax.

This is a blank paragraph.

The atmosphere here is amazing! I can't help but scream with excitement.

I can imagine how much fun it would be to come here with a group of close friends and book adjacent rooms.

The balconies of the rooms are all connected, allowing easy access between them.

However, since I'm visiting on a weekday, there aren't many other guests on the raft. This is what they call an ideal weekday getaway.

It's almost as if I have the entire side of the raft to myself. Hehe.

This is a paragraph with no text.

Super cool and super love the atmosphere during this time.

But I want to tell you that if you come during other times that are not the rainy season, you will also see the sunset. This angle will be the most romantic angle.

Ohhhhh, it's really cool.

We relaxed and played in the room until we were satisfied, then walked up to the top deck. There is actually an elevator, but it is a short distance, so we would have to take the stairs anyway. So we decided to walk up and down. It's a good way to get some exercise at this time.

This is a blank paragraph.

If there are any cool angles where we can pose for photos, we won't let them go to waste. Haha.

Let's get this done, model. The advantage of coming to this spot alone but wanting a picture here is to open the app on your phone and press the shutter again.

By placing the camera on a tripod, that's all it takes to get a beautiful angle of Raya Buri. Yay!

The evening light is truly beautiful and charming. We love it so much!

Step inside the Lobby and the restaurant area to sneak a peek at the drinks and cocktails at Raya Buri.

But we didn't try anything except Coke, hehe.

The entrance to the restaurant has a sign with a recommended food menu, too.

Before we came to Raya Buri, we searched for reviews from previous guests.

Many people said that the food at Raya Buri's kitchen is delicious. Haaa, we have to try it then.

What should we do before we start eating?

Here's a look at the menu on our dining table, which is amazing. There are recommended menus from Rayaburi.

With a chill atmosphere, you can see the view of the dam and the raft. The sparkling lights are below.

The first item is tamarind chili paste with a variety of dipping vegetables that are beautifully arranged.

This is a blank paragraph.

Next, we had the Tom Yum Goong with young coconut, which is a dish I already loved. This time, the broth was clear, which I really enjoyed, especially when I scooped it up with the coconut meat. It was delicious!

The stir-fried vegetables with fresh shrimp were beautifully presented with a heart shape.

The Three Flavored Fish was huge! We couldn't finish this dish because it was so big.

For our last dish, we ordered the Salt-Crusted Fried Chicken Wings, which were served hot and crispy. We loved them!

In conclusion, we highly recommend the food at Raya Buri Resort in Kanchanaburi.

We especially recommend it for guests staying at the resort, as it is quite far from any outside restaurants. Ordering food at the resort is a convenient option, especially with such delicious dishes on the menu.

The early morning light cuts through the scene. We planned to wake up and watch the sunrise,

but it's raining lightly. 555 Maybe we'll just sleep in. Hehe.

Our ideal vacation involves relaxation, taking our time, and avoiding rushing.

This allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the location.

After all, how can we truly enjoy ourselves if we're constantly rushing and feeling pressured?

Therefore, we opted for a slightly later breakfast this morning, ensuring we stayed within the resort's 10:00 AM deadline.

Our agenda for today includes a leisurely raft trip on the Sri Dam reservoir.

For breakfast, drinks are self-service.

However, during weekends or when there are many guests, the resort will provide a buffet breakfast.

During our stay, we were given a menu to choose from ABF or rice porridge.

Of course, for breakfast, we chose rice porridge with pork, as it is more filling.

In addition to these two seasonal salads, all customers will be provided with a complimentary serving of fresh vegetables and fruits.

This is more than enough to keep us full for the morning.

Now, where should we go next? Let's find some excitement!

Let's go kayaking! This is my first time kayaking.

I've had the opportunity to kayak many times before, but I never did. This time, I saw that the water on the dam was calm, so I decided to give it a try.

I was so brave on my first try that I forgot to wear a life jacket. 555

We had a great time and really enjoyed it. It was exciting.

However, if we have the opportunity again, I would like to paddle alone. This way, I can solve the problems of paddling to each point myself.

I also like being able to control the direction and make decisions on my own.

Absolutely not recommended! This is it.

Rafting on the Sri Nakarin Dam in a super chill atmosphere.

This is a blank paragraph.

A two-story raft from Raya Buri Resort, complete with a raft driver.

It can accommodate dozens of people, but we rented the whole raft for ourselves, haha.

The raft takes about an hour to travel back and forth on the Sri Sawat Dam, at a leisurely pace.

It's a relaxing ride, with the cool breeze blowing in your face.

Rafting is one of the activities offered by Raya Buri. There are also packages available for accommodation.

For example, a 2-day, 1-night stay includes this service. Alternatively, you can purchase it separately during your stay for 300 baht per person.

For just 300 baht per person, you can enjoy snacks and drinks on the raft. You can even bring your own ice in a cooler. We recommend coming with friends or family for a fun and enjoyable experience.

This is a paragraph with no text.

The raft driver was kind and talkative, sharing stories and anecdotes with us.

He also mentioned that the most beautiful time to raft is in the evening, before sunset.

This is also a romantic time.

Those who want to relax or play loud music and have fun on the raft are also welcome. We are sure it will be fun. Hehe.

This is another memory to cherish, one of the places we stayed this time.

We will definitely have the opportunity to stay here again because we know we like it this way. ^^

Raya Buri, Kanchanaburi, a very relaxing place to stay. I love the good atmosphere here. I am impressed and really want to share it with others.
