As dusk turns into night and the river changes its mood, the cool
evening reverberates the magical sounds of Mon music and their

whispers and smiles pass across candlelit wooden tables as our host
tells folkloric stories of the river. |

 Bathe away the last traces of the outside world under breathtaking waterfalls, view wild orchids on jungle jaunts or explore deep inside mystical caves. You may wish to ride an elephant through the bush to “Mon” village, or just bask in the sun, before diving off your verandah for a cooling swim in the River Kwai.
As
day fades into night and the mood of the river becomes more reflective,
the magical sounds of “Mon” music can be heard echoing through the night.
You may choose to watch the “Mon“ dancing in the Jungle Rafts own theatre.
This traditional dance is both unique and beautiful. |
