Sai Yok National Park Bungalows

Kanchanaburi Province


These aging stilt houses and bungalows, all sleeping at least four people, are lean on amenities, and while some are near, none are right next to the river. The main (only?) reason to choose them over one of the floating hotels is the price. Reserve online or at the park headquarters, which is a bit past the visitor centre.

You'll need to pay the park entrance fees on top of lodging costs.
