TLDR : Answer Summary
The thread provides a list of recommended places to stay in Kanchanaburi, suitable for different budgets and preferences. Notable mentions include River Kwai Resort, Jolly Frog with floating rooms, Phong Phen Guest House, Oriental Kwai Resort, and Natee The Riverfront. Recommendations vary from budget options like Smiley Frog to mid-range like Good Times Resort, and high-end stays like Natee. Visitors are advised on the potential issues of staying in floating hotels during the rainy season and are encouraged to explore attractions like Erawan Falls.

I stayed on a river raft a few years ago, which was a fun experience.

Home Phutoey resort. 100% recommend.

Not far from falls, huge outdoor pool with hotspring.

Jungle surrounding on mountain side overlooking the river.
