7D/6N River Kwai GOLF Cruise (↟↡)
Six rounds of golf, a week on the river and a landscape you will not forget. This seven-day golf cruise takes you up the River Kwai and back again, with a different course every day and the calm of a small river ship in between.
Heading upstream, you play Mission Hills Golf Club Kanchanaburi with its palm-lined fairways, Evergreen Hills Golf Club & Resort in a jungle-covered valley, and the River Kwai Golf & Country Club, a natural par-72 course set in rugged mountain scenery. On day four you tee off with views across the river at the Green World Hot Spring Resort & Golf Club. On the way back downstream, the wide fairways of the Nichigo Resort & Country Club and the water-framed holes of Mida Golf Club complete the week.
After each round, the RV River Kwai is waiting: lunch on board, afternoons on the sun deck, a canoe or rafting trip on the Kwai Noi and a Thai cooking class on deck. On the last morning you take part in the Buddhist alms-giving at the Chukkadon market in Kanchanaburi. 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 a shorter trip? Our four-day golf cruises run upstream from Monday to Thursday and downstream from Thursday to Sunday. Without golf, our seven-day Heritage Cruise follows the same river.
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
Upstream departures on the first and third Monday of each month are guaranteed without a minimum number of guests. All other regular departures are initially conditional and operate with at least 4 booked guests or explicit confirmation by CruiseAsia.
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.
