4D/3N River Kwai GOLF Cruise (↟)
Tee off in the morning, cruise the river in the afternoon. This four-day golf cruise combines three of western Thailand's most scenic courses with the calm of a small river ship.
Your first round is at Mission Hills Golf Club Kanchanaburi, where palm-lined fairways wind around gently sloping hills. On day two you play Evergreen Hills Golf Club & Resort in a jungle-covered valley, with water in play on many holes and a long dog-leg par-4 17th that players love. Day three brings the River Kwai Golf & Country Club, a natural 18-hole, par-72 course of undulating fairways, water hazards and blind greens set in rugged mountain scenery.
After each round, the RV River Kwai is waiting: lunch on board, afternoons on the sun deck and the river landscape drifting past your picture window. On day three, lunch is served near the Sai Yok Yai waterfalls, and in the evening a farewell dinner awaits you on board.
On the final morning you take part in the Buddhist alms-giving to the monks. Before returning to Bangkok, you visit the cave temple of Wat Tham Khaopoon, the Thailand–Burma Railway Centre, the Don Rak War Cemetery and the bridge over the River Kwai.
A small ship, a personal journey
The RV River Kwai is built in the colonial style of the historic Irrawaddy Flotilla. She carries a maximum of 20 guests in ten teak-panelled outside cabins, each with a private bathroom and a large picture window. The small group means personal service and an unhurried atmosphere.
Prefer the return journey? The downstream golf cruise runs from Thursday to Sunday with rounds at Mission Hills, Nichigo Resort and Mida Golf Club. For a longer golf holiday, our seven-day golf cruise includes six courses.
Catering
Cuisine on board is a fusion of Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian and international dishes. Breakfast and dinner are served on board. Lunch is served on board or in a local restaurant, depending on the day's programme. Please tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies at least three days before departure.

Departures and operating conditions

A confirmed 7-day/6-night booking departing on a guaranteed first or third Monday also guarantees the following Thursday downstream departure, even with fewer than 4 guests booked for that segment. A 7-day booking reserves the same cabin continuously across both segments.
Dry dock: 3 May to 4 July 2027 inclusive. No cruises operate during this maintenance period; all departures and bookings are blocked, including otherwise guaranteed departures. Departures from 5 July 2027 have been released again by the operator and remain subject to the regular operating conditions.
Golf programmes and tee times remain subject to golf-course availability and confirmation.
All cruises remain subject to safety-related, hydrological and exceptional operational circumstances.
