Kalanan riverside resort

We just stayed 4 nights at the Kalanan resort. The hotel gives a very pleasant old world charm feeling. The gardens and grounds are really beautiful. Service and friendlyness of the entire staff is really welcoming and friendly. We had several nice talks with the General manager Kate. And the receptionan girls I only know the name of Nutty, but all are fantastic and helpfull. Our houskeeping lady Mei was a real jewel, but the other ladies also and the young boy from Myanmar. Thanks all for the real great service. We loved the breakfast buffet, good fresh quality and much choices. Manager Purina very friendly. We did not like the river restaurant for evenings. For us a bit too noisy with the orchestre. The swimming pool outside second floor was great for a cool swimm in salt water. But the whole swimming pool area is not very atractive by the noise from all the aircos. And the sunbeds need some fresh cleaning. We stayed in a forest view room, I think the Riverview rooms will have the best riverviews, but more noisy of the river traffic. One minus is that the beds are really too hard . I think that a place like this should do an investement in much more comfy beds. I will never forget the surprises from for ly birthday. That was so nice and really touching. The hotel has a lot of events and groups and weddings, but that never was disturbing us. Sunset is to die for. Thanks for everybody and hope to come one day again . Warm regards from Ignatius and Stefan from Belgium 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️💫🦋

From the moment I arrived at Kalanan Resort, I was welcomed with exceptional hospitality. Everyone was incredibly friendly and made me feel at home immediately, as if I had been coming there for years.The resort itself is beautiful, with stunning architecture, tasteful decoration, and breathtaking landscaping. My room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities offered. The cooking class was a highlight of my stay—the chef was not only talented but also extremely engaging and communicative, making the experience both fun and memorable- Thank you Chef!!! The massage was equally wonderful, and the therapist was highly skilled and professional. The views throughout the property are simply amazing, and every corner of the resort is thoughtfully designed. And if you’re in the mood for a drink, don’t miss the Piña Colada—the bartender makes an excellent one! I left Kalanan Resort with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for the kindness and care shown by the entire team. Thank you, Kalanan, for such a memorable stay. I truly hope to return one day.

I went to the Kalanan Riverside Resort for a staycation in June 2025. It was a great if not the best staycation. The surroundings included lush peaceful gardens by the Chao Phraya River. My room overlooked the river itself and was paneled and furnished in old Colonial style. There were two swimming pools; one in the central court and the other overlooking the river. The hotel had a beautiful Buddhist prayer room. The following morning I had a private cooking lesson with Chef Chucky who taught me how to make two Thai dishes. One was a a warm fish salad, and the other was a green chicken curry. We picked fresh organic flowers and herbs in the hotel garden for the meal. I would go again to the Kalanan. The setting is restful and it is so close to Bangkok, only 14 km up river. To get there, I took the BTS and the MRT then a taxi. My only criticism is that the hotel staff is not responsive to communications via text in English. They do not return calls. If you have questions you have to follow up diligently. If you don't, that's how I got a private cooking lesson. 🥳
