I had a rather mixed experience at Kalanan Riverside Resort. While the location by the river was perfect for relaxation and the views were stunning, the dining options left much to be desired. The service was also a bit inconsistent, though some staff were genuinely lovely and attentive. Overall, I can appreciate the character of the resort, but there are certainly areas that need improvement.

My stay at Kalanan Riverside Resort was a mixed bag. The colonial-style architecture and beautiful river views were certainly charming. though I faced some hiccups with the service. While the staff was friendly, communication was sometimes a challenge, and the food didn't meet my expectations. Overall, it's a peaceful location away from the bustling parts of Bangkok.

The lovely staff made me feel very welcome, though communication was a bit of a challenge at times.
