La Levée lush surroundings
During my recent 10-day media trip, I had the pleasure of staying at La Levée Sai Yok, a hidden gem nestled by the tranquil river in Sai Yok, Kanchanaburi. This boutique riverside retreat offered not only a comfortable stay but also an immersive experience into the heart of Kanchanaburi’s natural beauty and cultural richness.
Stunning Riverside Location
La Levée Sai Yok’s riverside setting is truly breathtaking, surrounded by lush, manicured gardens and vibrant resort vegetation that perfectly complements the serene river views.
