Hin Tok River Camp
An unforgettable camping experience along the River Kwai
Hin Tok River Camp at Hellfire Pass in Sai Yok is a
safari tented camp nestled on a historic piece of land upon the pinnacle of
Hin Tok Mountain, overlooking the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi.
Being close to the rhythm of nature, camping in canvas tents, and being
given the chance to experience a natural spring pool adjoining the River
Kwai Noi, visitors can enjoy a most relaxing holiday while staying in this
River Kwai camp.
This resort was also honored in 2009 as one of the top ten adventure resorts
in the Asia Pacific.
During the daytime, activities can provide you with close contact to nature,
and feature mountain biking, canoeing, bamboo rafting and elephant trekking
through the Mon tribal village, along with many other excursions.
Furthermore, owing to the abundance of the forest and being next to a
national park reserve, there are numerous colorful birds, including
hornbills and kingfishers.
Recommendation
Ride the freely provided mountain bikes across the suspension
bridge through the morning mist. See the lifestyle of the local Hat Ngio
community. The round-trip distance is about 4 km. You can also ask the
resort to provide transportation instead.

marker on Highway 323. The route is the same as to Hellfire Pass Museum.
