So we arrived at the place after going down a side road which was literally in the middle of nowhere! We were starving when we arrived and there wasn't anywhere close to get food! The staff gave me and my girlfriend a lift on the back of his moped to the local street food which was very nice! 
The ROOM itself was very nice, a little dated but a private bungalow with toilet a nice shower a fridge and TV! All next to the famous river Kwai!
Breakfast was average and the language barrier was difficult with staff but overall was fairly happy with the stay! 
BEWARE this is NOT in town so you may need to rent a moped to travel to and from the resort 

Good but distant

First impressions are not good, but at $26 a night with breakfast you shouldn't complain.  Units are a bit dated and in need of attention, but I would not say they're dirty.  There are a lot of repairs going on in preparation for high season, which is a good thing.  

Plus:
Resort is in tranquil surroundings along the riverside.  
It's a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of town.  
Friendly owners, although limited English 
Aircon and hot water 

Tips:
The resort is about 8 km out of town, so if you have a Backpack, rent a scooter in town and scoot to the resort.  If you have suitcases get dropped off and then for 200Bhat the owner will take you into town....  Renting a scooter is a must if you stay here.  Typically scooter rentals are about 200Bhat a day.  This is also the best way to explore the area.  

Suggestion:
If you have a scooter, no need to book tours, everything is well marked.  If you scoot out to Erawan Waterfalls, fill up in Katchsmburi and you'll make it there without refuelling.  There is a petrol station in the town before you turn to the falls....  Fill up for your return trip.  
There is a great night market where locals hang out along the main road.  Good food and wares are much cheaper than Bangkok.  

Just enjoy, the resort will grow on you.  Breakfast was good.  We stayed for two nights.  

Death bridge, museums etc. Ate obviously a must.  

Rustic simplicity 

I stayed here for one night on what Thai people call a company weekend. Many companies in Thailand will book these resorts for the weekend and send their staff for a night or two as maybe part of a teambuilding program or just as an annual trip reward. In this instance, I was a guest of my wife as it were.

On these company weekends, there's nearly always lots of drinking and lots of noise and loud music. You can forget going to bed before midnight but that's the market that these resorts cater to. They are not places for independent travellers or families.  

The food is often mass-produced and spectacularly average and the rooms and facilities can be dismal. I've been to about six of these 'resorts' in Thailand and this was easily the worst. The rooms were shocking.  I never took a shower because the bathroom was so filthy and I slept in my clothes. Many of the group I was with flatly refused to stay there and got straight in their cars and headed back home.

Like so many places in Thailand, the owner obviously lost interest a long time ago and refuses to pump any more money into it. The whole place is now sad, tired and neglected. Not to mention filthy dirty.
