The food was delicious and we loved the banana pancakes for breakfast and ate a couple of times in the evening too. The pool was lovely but got crowded but was great for cooling off. Staff friendly and helpful - we would stay again.

We loved our stay at Pongphen Guesthouse. Great location. Easy walk to many restaurants, convenience stores, etc. 15 minute walk from Kanchanburi train station (where you board the Death Railway) and the Death Railway Museum and War Cemetary. Staff was super friendly and very helpful in booking tours and telling us what to see. Located along river, we had some beautiful sunset views! They were doing some construction by the pool which was a bit noisy during the day but otherwise it was fabulous!
