Hintok River Camp @ Hellfire Pass

Our stay at Hintok River Camp was amazing and mostly positive, it was a great glamping experience at a historically meaningful site. Pros: - Very clean rooms and toilets - Natural pool was clean and refreshing - Food is generally great and portion is generous - Kiosk and minimarts nearby to buy snacks / toiletries etc if needed - Wide selection of excursion trips and boat rentals (The hellfire pass excursion is highly recommended, only costs 600 baht per person; also went for boat trip to sai yok yai waterfall, though a little pricey at 2200 baht per 2 persons, it was a nice free-and-easy trip with decent photo opportunities) - Free museum about the historical background of the location - Polite and helpful staff members Cons: - Lots of insects (inevitable with glamping in the nature - can purchase insect repellant from the kiosk) - Food served during dinner could be slightly on the cold side (soups / gravy ones are usually still warm) - Possible language barrier with some staff members (just needs a little patience or Google translate)

Staff friendly,cleanliness room,tasty food, dining area

Be careful not to drink the water at breakfast or dinner I got violently ill for days Food was good though and unique location where the real POWs lived and died

Nice staff and service and setting

An amazing experience.

Amazing location, staff, value and experience

It was a very good place, location was very naturely and the staff omg. the staff there r so friendly and kind. My dad is a vegeterian and my mom cannot eat spicy stuff for health reasons and we told them that during dinner so the next day they made us dishes that accomodated to our needs rven though yheir dinner is a set menu style

We loved our stay! Our kids loved riding the complimentary bikes around the grounds. The natural pool was beautiful and fun. Dinner was excellent! The tents were clean. We will be back!

The camp was really cute and had it's own charms, but there were many little things that could be improved when it came to maintenance. Hooks had loose screws and nozzles kept falling off. The museum wasn't inviting because lights were always off and the gift shop could be reorganized a bit. Ordering drinks or food off schedule at the on site restaurant/bar always seemed to be a bit complicated and not as easy as the website makes it sound, but the staff were really great people and always tried their best to help with what they could. There were many parts of the camp that were beautiful though and the candlelit dinners were fun. Unless you plan on going on the extra tours or getting package deals, it's better for a shorter stay. My wife and I had a pleasant experience overall, but we probably wouldn't go back.

We went for a long weekend coming from Bangkok

Excellent location with stunning views coupled to great service. Evening campfire and dinner also very good. Would recommend.

Its a good place but only enough for a night. This place looks adventurous but has nothing in terms of activities. It gets boring and repetitive in terms of food. Just recommended for a night

It was a peaceful, clean and beautiful place to stay. The food was delicious, the staff extremely courteous, and the activities that you could partake in, if you wished too, were varied. We did the boat ride to the Mon Village and Lava cave which was very interesting. The natural swimming pool was delightful and refreshing.

Everything. The food, the tent, the staff, the facilities, and the location.

It is a nice place to stay and everything is fine. Only the activities and food and drinks there are a bit too expensive.

We were in Thailand for two weeks and this was the best part of our entire trip. We loved the tents, the views of the river, the dinners, and the staff was very helpful.

This is a pretty cool place to stay. Sadly for us we chose to go in the rainy season which dampened our experience, but can imagine in season this is great place. "Tents" were large with a nice balcony. Inside beds were comfortable with a decent amount of space around. We had 2 tents, one with a bathroom that was half outside and one that was fully enclosed. Showers were good and an experience. As you'd expect from a tent there was a lot of outside noise from the jungle so don't expect to sleep much! But don't let it take away from the experience. The food for dinner was a buffet style and was ok, breakfast similar and ok. Drinks are slightly expensive but not extortionate. Sadly the pool was closed when we were there due to flooding and the worst rain for 20 years! However, they did arrange to take us to one of their sister resorts and use their pool which was a really cool infinity pool next to a lake with a tree top adventure (which we didn't do). a nice touch. We got the train to Namtok then got a taxi to the resort. The journey takes you passed the Hellfire pass entry. We made the mistake of checking into the hotel and then booking hintoks transfer back to hellfire pass which they charge 900 Bht return for which is pretty high for 4Km each way. I would suggest stopping en route to Hintok and doing Hellfire Pass (well worth a visit) and then continuing on.

Very good service from the team. It was raining heavily when we arrived at the resort, someone was already waiting for us with umbrellas. Check in was fast. Natural spring pool was cooling and relaxing but the edge of pool was filled with dead leaves. Could have cleaned it off easily for guests. Dinner and breakfast was good. Quality of bed can be better.

The stay was a lovely experience, very quiet area next to the Kwai river, with a natural pool (about 30 stairs down to reach it next to the river). The garden is pleasant and evening BBQ dinners great. Breakfast adequate with omelette station and a small selection of bread and croissants, and the usual Thai breakfast selection. Tents are clean and equipped with air conditioning units. Hellfire pass is about 8 minutes away by car. Bicycles available for free on-site.
