Dheva Mantra Resort

We have stayed at Dheva Mantra Resort several times and always enjoy its beautiful location, Thai colonial charm, natural surroundings, and the welcoming staff. This is our favorite property in Kanchanaburi City, and we look forward to visiting again. On this visit, the front desk and breakfast staff were especially helpful to us, even though a large, aggressive tour group made things difficult for regular guests like us.

The property is beautiful. Colonial style, takes you back in time. Right next to the river. The staff were very helpful. You will need a vehicle as there is nothing nearby. The room mini bar was complimnetary, with soft drinks and juices which were replenished everyday. The breafast buffet was good, however on our last day we were told that due to low occupancy the buffet was not there, and we could order from a menu, which was OK. The pool is great. Very calm and quiet place.

This is a large a hotel - resort on the banks of Kawai. At the back of the hotel you can see Kwai snaking through the property. It has a lovely restaurant that you can have a dinner at, the food is excellent almost perfect. The rooms are very good in size as it was large with a balcony looking into the garden and the pool. The breakfast is also lovely, the hotel decor is old Singapore very elegant as the breakfast room is elegant with great food. We arranged for our own taxi to take us to the daytrip - River Kwai railroad and museum, you must see Hellfire Pass, its a must. You dont need to ride the train, its a tourist trap, it get full quickly. So just walk on the train tracks, take your pictures which is the real thing then take the car to Hellfire Pass before 4pm as they close early. Its an Australian, New Zeland, Indian, British Memorial for all the people who died WWII building the railway. I am so glad our Aussie friend told us about it, we would've been sad to miss it, you get self guided tour of the pass that was built by the prisoners of war and the museum in the site is a must. If you give yourself a full day for this, its good. Skip the waterfall, as its a waste. Next day on the way back you can see the Floating Market on the way back to BK, that's what did. We didn't ride the boat, another tourist trap you get blocked by 100s of boats in different directions with black fumes. The pool is lovely and the property is really nice to walk in the back.

Beautiful colonial style property in great location by the river. Nice big rooms with proper balconies. Floating restaurant on the river very elegant, great Thai food and decently priced.

Room is huge and cooling, good art design, bathroom was clean. They send breakfast to our room for first 2 days and was super convenient. The last day we dine at the restaurant, was great so that we can enjoy a different environment. Relax environment which is good for vacation. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was great as well. Staff are super nice and friendly.
