I left Kanachaburi several days ago and didn't want to let too much more time go by before sharing my appreciation for that experience.
Staying at the Legacy River Kwai Resort was really cool. I've worked at resorts and high end properties and I have to say the level of service that Mr Mana and his staff provided was exceptional.
From the moment I arrived where they offered a welcoming drink. What class. I really did feel like someone important (well, actually I am). Mr Mana communicated to his staff where even though most of them did not understand any English they new what to do. The food in the restaurant was top notch and took in some of the local culinary flavors. The sports center was a bonus with nice pool, Reflexology Walking Path, and fantastic massage staff.
During my stay there I was really in the zone....Sabai Sabai (Relax). It definitely slowed me down. At first my mind was racing but after a few days here my head was clear...perhaps for the first in quite some time. There are no accidents and even though it appeared to be a challenge at first, once I let go I started to see!
I also enjoyed the evening entertainment of signing from the musicians, rented a mountain bike riding on the extremely large property and feasted my eyes on the abundance of orchids and flowers.
Met a few westerners there....French and German. It was cool to interact with them.
Part of the traveling experience is about meeting and sharing with people.
I will come back to the Legacy River Kwai the next time I am in Thailand. It is a great place to prepare for your adventures or unwind before returning home.
