The Floatel Buntern
Glancing at the calendar, you realise that a long vacation is just around the corner. You can’t resist the urge to open Google and begin searching for fantastic resorts in other provinces, eager to maximise the enjoyment of your upcoming trip with your friends.
Although many highly-rated resorts offer impressive features to attract guests, you wouldn’t be able to find a more unique and enjoyable experience like the one you’ll have on this floating raft in Kanchanaburi.
Instead of splurging on a fancy, pricey 5-star resort, consider hopping aboard The Floatel Buntern in Kanchanaburi for a new vacation experience. Here, you can enjoy admiring stunning views while gently gliding across the massive lake.

What’s more, the raft comes with kayaks and a trampoline, offering you entertainment options instead of simply relaxing throughout the journey.
You can consider its two packages, the 2D1N option at ฿22,000 (~USD615.91) per six pax and the 3D2N option at ฿52,000 (~USD1,455.79) per six pax. Extra guests will be charged at ฿4,500 (~USD125.99) each.
We recommend choosing the 3D2N package as it includes a visit to Sangkhla Buri, which is a district with Mon culture and historical establishments. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the area and capture the local lifestyle through photographs.
