If you don't know, then one of the "chips" of Kanchanaburi is a vacation in floating hotels. They have individual rooms and entire bungalows located on floating platforms (rafts) on the River Kwai or its tributaries. Some of them have only the most basic amenities, while others have everything you want, including a SPA and even swimming pools on the shore, although if you wish, you can swim right in the river. Every traveler is simply obliged to spend the night in such a place, otherwise the impressions of a vacation in the province will not be complete.
You can find them both directly next to the city and further along the province, mostly not far from popular attractions. A lot of such hotels are located near Nam Tok railway station, which can be reached by train directly from Bangkok or Kanchanaburi.
Another special type of accommodation is campsites. You can find them in and near national parks, including not far from the Erawan Waterfall. Here you can stay in your tent by paying from 40 baht (1.23 USD, see Thailand currency and exchange rate), or rent a tent and sleeping bags from 200 baht per night (6.13 USD). Also, campsites offer more comfortable accommodation in tourist bungalow houses.
As for the choice of hotel location, their greatest concentration is in the city of Kanchanaburi, but it is not exhausted. You can also find hotels and guest houses near all significant attractions, including near national parks. There are also campsites for accommodation in tents or bungalows. In the city itself, most hotels and inexpensive hostels are located along Maenamkwai Road (Mae Nam Kwae), so if you arrived without a pre-booked hotel, you can immediately go to this street. The main tourist infrastructure of the city is also concentrated along it: cafes and restaurants, travel agencies, bicycle and motorcycle rental.
