Traffic development and industrialization has lead to the urbanization which has stolen the mental peace of the human. In this endeavor of man to escape from the urban chaos has created resorts to quench his thirst for the peace. Nestling amidst lush green environs , embraced by hillocks or a forest reserve or any natural reserve , resort emerges as an enchanting retreat for everyone. One can enjoy the beauty of nature by taking a walk along the lonely pathways or playing on the lawns and feeling the carpet of green under the feet or taking a boat ride or plunging into the swimming pool or pending a quiet evening and recharging for the week ahead. HISTORY OF RESORTS: The concept of leisure resort is not a product of modem age , but in fact resorts have been in existence for many centuries. Historically , the oldest resorts can be traced back to the Roman empire nearly two thousand years ago. CONCEPT OF RESORTS: RESORT ENVIRONMENT - Give the resort a distinctive image and character that provides a contrast to the tourist’s home environment. ENVIRONMENT ORIENTATION — Allow tourist appreciation of nature, COMMUNITY ORIENTATION ~ Allow tourist interaction with local residents and encourage learning of local culture. They should be designed in such a way that the privacy of the tourists is ensured. The concept of land using zoning is applicable to resorts, Relation to this conservation is maintenance of view planes and corridors so that there are views of important features from the building in the final development.Activities are to be provided in order to keep the tourists engaged. The materials used are to be environment friendly , which emits less pollution into the environment. TYPES OF RESORTS HERITAGE RESORT : It includes numerous historic architectural monuments , archaeological and heritage sites. >The monuments could be maintained by converting them into resorts and could be protected CULTURAL RESORT : It includes museums and culture centres traditions of dress, music , drama , etc. It relates to regions specific cultures and traditions.

Historically many such spas were developed at the location of natural hot springs or mineral springs. Resort spas are generally located in resorts and offer similar services via rooms with services, meals, body treatments and fitness. ARCHITECTURE AND RESORTS: Resort immensely relate to architecture and environment. The ideal goal to be achieved is to provide an architectural design which would analyze to be an attractive , permanent and shall be distinet in design and accordance to the environment in which it exists. The main aspects that define a resort and are responsible for its popularity and development are relative of the location and industrialization preservation of landscape , individuality , architecture of the place and its culture are gradual to be strictly dealt. The basic requirements ate same as that of hotel. But spaces surrounded and provided for guests are more liberal and landscaped. Thus a resort consists of loosely arranged groups of one or two stored guest house or cottages set in landscaped gardens and taking full advantage of scenic site and its setting. Architecture has very essential and strong bond with tourism. Invariable architect town planners are responsible for the protection of environment , culture and history of the place and their interest in dealing with all the relative aspects and existing conditions.COTTAGES: INTRODUCTION The word “cottage” comes from England, where this small style of home was very common. Many of the first cottages had a ground floor with the bedrooms quaintly fitting within the roof space of the home. During the Middle Ages, this style of home was used to house farmers and their families. The homes at this time were relatively small and sometimes referred to as “huts.” The term cottage denoted the dwelling of a “cotter” or “peasant.” The cottage was later to be described as a home with 4 rooms, two upstairs and two downstairs. This idea has changed dramatically over the years, and cottages today are much larger, though they still boast many of the old-fashioned design elements that made the original so appealing. A cottage style home is often simply considered a holiday home in certain parts of the world, including the United States and Scandinavia. In the United States, cottages are often thought to be summer residences that are typically located near a body of water or resort. Many people escape to their cottages on the weekends or throughout the summer months. Today, people use cottage house plans to build homes that are modest in size and often have a cozy and inviting vibe. The original cottages were typically located in a rural or semi- rural setting and always seem to possess the perfect balance of style, comfort, and function. Cottages can also be found quaintly adorning the banks of rivers, the edges of lakes, and other bodies of water. They have been in existence for centuries and, although cottages have changed a lot over the years, they still have a lot of things in common with the cottage homes of today. Cottages are of great help to wbanized world providing natural surroundings and change of environment. Itis a place for spending complete holiday in a serene and scenic atmosphere away from the maddening crowd of the city and enjoys the beauty of the nature in pleasant atmosphere and cool air landscape and is seeking to alter the physical Jandscape as well. The holiday cottage exists in many cultures under different names. In American English, “cottage” is one term for such holiday homes, although they may also be called a "cabin", “chalet”, or even "camp".HISTORY OF COTTAGES Originally in the Middle Ages, cottages housed agricultural workers and their friends and families. The term cottage denoted the dwelling of a cotter. Thus, cottages were smaller peasant units (larger peasant units being called messuages) In that early period, a documentary reference to a cottage would most often mean, not a small stand-alone dwelling as today, but a complete farmhouse and yard. Thus, in the Middle Ages, the word cottage denoted not just a dwelling, but included at least a dwelling (domus) and a barn (grangia), as well as, usually, a fenced yard or piece of land enclosed by a gate (portum), Later on, "cottage" might also have denoted a smallholding comprising houses, outbuildings, and supporting farmland or woods. A cottage, in this sense, would typically include just a few acres of tilled land. Examples of this type included the Welsh TY unnos or "house in a night", built by squatters on a plot of land defined by the throw of an axe from each comer of the property. Much later, from around the 18th century onwards, the development of industry led to the development of weavers! cottages and miners’ cottages. Modern usage in Britain and Ireland In popular modern culture the term cottage is used in a more general and romantic context and can date from any era but the term is usually applied to pre-modern dwellings. Older, pre-Victorian cottages tend to have restricted height, and often have construction timber exposed, sometimes intruding into the living space. Modern renovations of such dwellings often seek to re-expose timber purlins, rafters, posts ete. which have been covered, in an attempt to establish perceived historical authenticity. Older cottages are typically modest, often semi-detached or terraced, with only four basic rooms ("two up, two down"), although subsequent modifications can create more spacious accommodation. A labourer’s or fisherman's one-roomed house, often attached to a larger property, is a particular type of cottage and is called a penty. The term cottage has also been used for a larger house.TYPES OF COTTAGES MOBILE COTTAGES - This type of cottage is movable and can be attached to a truck and pulled to the desired spot. This type of cottage has inbuilt facilities that allow one to enjoy the comfort of a mobile home without unnecessary having to pack for holidays as one moves with their possessions. The mobile cottages are very popular and affordable. The design of a mobile cottage allows the owner to use the main room, kitchen area, bedrooms and composite bath and toilet for their comfort. FOREST COTTAGES - These cottages are commonly found in a forest. The users are attracted to the privacy or are nature enthusiasts who give them a unique location in the forest. Forest cottages are very popular with bounty hunters, campers, mountain climbers, students ‘on vacation among others. These cottages are well secured and have reliable septic systems. They are also well resourced to have the necessitie s in term of water and lighting FARM COTTAGES - These types of cottages are very common in rural or semi-rural areas. They take the old countryside appearance and are made from locally available materials such as a thatched grace for the roof and roof for the cabin. Farm cottages are very convenient even for vacation seekers as one can learn and enjoy about farming or ranching. Farm cottages are common especially in apple, grape farms that have wineries or farms that breed horses among other animals. ARCHITECTURE AND COTTAGES Cottage immensely relate to architecture and environment. The ideal goal to be achieved is to provide an architectural design which would analyze to be an attractive , permanent and shall be distinct in design and accordance to the environment in which it exists. The main aspects that define a riverside cottage and are responsible for its popularity and development are relative of the location and industrialization preservation of landscape , individuality , architecture of the place and its culture are gradual to be strictly dealt Architecture has very essential and strong bond with tourism. Invariable architect town planners are responsible for the protection of environment , culture and history of the place and their interest in dealing with all the relative aspects and existing conditions. In cottage, wide range of activities are placed much close to the nature and also to the physical as well as climatic state of that particular region with respect to context, tools study of heritage and environmental balance.The basic requirements are same as that of hotel. But spaces surrounded and provided for guests are more liberal and landscaped. Thus a riverside cottage consists of loosely arranged groups of one or two stored guest cottages set in landscaped gardens and taking full advantage of scenic site and its setting. CONCEPT OF COTTAGES: COTTAGE ENVIRONMENT - Give the cottages a distinctive image and character that provides a contrast to the tourist’s home environment. ENVIRONMENT ORIENTATION ~ Allow tourist appreciation of nature. COMMUNITY ORIENTATION — Allow tourist interaction with local residents and encourage leaming of local culture. They should be designed in such a way that the privacy of the tourists is ensured. The concept of land using zoning is applicable to cottages. Relation to this conservation is maintenance of view planes and corridors so that there are views of important features from the building in the final development. Activities are to be provided in order to keep the tourists engaged. The materials used are to be environment friendly , which emits less pollution into the environment COMPONENTS: PUBLIC ZONE - This zone consists of reception , recreation .parking , restaurant and library. ADMINISTRATION ZONE - It is nerve centre for control and coordination of all activities. General administration areas include mangers room , director room , accounts room , stores, security. Administration should be placed close to all areas which requires supervision SERVICE ZONE - Supporting building services include electric substation , water storage , boiler rooms for hot water supply . laundry services , house keeping ACCOMODATION - Each cottage should be provided with modern amenities like hot and cold water supply, dressing room , telephone , sit out. They should have scenic views from their rooms. LEISURE AND RECREATIO: Leisure and recreation are related , but they are different things. Which leisure has commonly been thought of as . period of time or state of mind and recreation as an active space, the contemporary view in much broader and more humanistic. The view sees leisure as a context for pleasure , self expression and recreation as what happens , people as direct result of activities or experience. Recreation is not a point in time or space. It is an emotional condition independent of activity achievement or satisfaction and can occur at any time and in many places. The resorts include many aspects ofa city , where an individual can experience freedom , diversity self — expression , challenge or enrichment.GENERAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS > Administration block Cottages + Restaurant Games facilities > Children’s play area > Landscaped environments > Parking areas The major Himalayan River systems are: The Indus River System The Ganga River System ‘The Yamuna River System The Brahmaputra River System The major Peninsular River Systems are: Mahanadi Godavari Krishna CauveryCommon Open Space Requirements. 1.

STAR RATING Hotel ratings are often used to classify hotels according to their quality. From the initial purpose of informing travellers on basic facilities that can be expected, the objectives of hotel rating has expanded into a focus on the hotel experience as a whole. Today the terms 'grading’, ‘rating’, and ‘classification’ are used to generally refer to the same concept, that is to categorize hotels. There is a Wide variety of rating schemes used by different organizations around the world Many have a system involving stars, with a greater number of stars indicating greater luxury. Food services, entertainment, view, room variations such as size and additional amenities, spas and fitness centres, ease of access and location may be considered in establishing a standardHotels are independently assessed in traditional systems and rest heavily on the facilities provided. Some consider this disadvantageous to smaller hotels whose quality of accommodation could fall into one class but the lack of an item such as an elevator would prevent it from reaching a higher categorization. The features and amenities may not be available at condominiums, apartment-style facilities, bed-and-breakfasts, and other specialty properties. Items listed may not all be offered at every property in a specific rating classification. Some criteria may vary from country to country. Our hotel star rating classifications are not a representation or promise of any particular feature or amenity. ational Ratings National Ratings awarded by the regional rating authorities appear for hotels in Europe and parts of Asia. When the national rating does not correspond to our display of 1.0 to 5.0-stars, additional information regarding the rating is listed in an advisory box, located in the Hotel Details section. * These basic motels, hostels, and dormitories offer no-frills accommodations with minimal on- site facilities.

Sewage has to be disposed off quickly and easily. For larger sites disposal systems with septic tanks or with complete rotary distributor systems are needed, The building layout types may take the form of pavilions , blocks of building containing many bedrooms, suites of bedrooms , huts , separate or in small groups. A large area of site adjacent to the main building should be kept open and available as a recreation space. Ifa pavilion type layout is adopted, the distance should be kept open and available as a recreation space. An adequate amount of landscaping between blocks not only adds to the appearance , but also increases privacy especially when the balconies or covered porches attached to the adjoining blocks from one another. PARKING Covered parking may be desirable for about 10 to 25% of the motor car accommodation. The car parks should not be planned in opposition where their use is disturbing to any sleeping accommodation and should occupy a position where the entrances and exits are capable of control. DRIVES AND TURNING CIRCLES Gateways should never be less than 2.36m. The minimum tuming radius for the average car is 6.09m 7.62m is more satisfactory allowance and reduces the risk of damage of grass and curbs and to the wings of the car by contact with boundary walls. The construction of drives should be sufficiently strong to permit moderately heavy traffic up to about 2 ton loads to pass over it without damage to the surface. MAIN ENTRANCE The main entrance door should open, into a vestibule or a small opening. Separate space for the pedestrian approach is to be provided. This should lead directly into the resort and may form the main axis but passes the reception building so that the latter exercises some control over all persons entering or leaving the site. RECEPTION In many resorts the arrival times must be after a fixed time such as 4 or 5 p.m. And often desire the g not later than 10 a.m. In consequences of the fixed arrival times, a large proportion of new visitors have to be dealt at the reception office in a very short period of time. The reception buildings incorporate the management offices of the resort and may be "a separate building *or may form a part of the main building of the resort.The reception unit is set back from the main road to allow for the vehicles to drive up to the doors to set down passengers and luggage and also to allow vehicles to wait picking up visitors without obstructing the main road. A full length counter which may be divided into section for clerks dealing with reservations of various groups of tourists , for cashiers , general information , etc. Large resorts need considerable space for shops and kiosks. Storage space -files , stationary and literature should be available in the shops and also in the offices. LOUNGES This room may be used for dancing or concerts , involves a considerable amount of labour ,which is rapidly followed by the replacement of furniture ready for breakfast. Large glass areas , overlooking the gardens , should form the outer walls, terraces and covered veranda opening from the public rooms as additional lounge space are very desirable. A good proportion of the window area should be capable of opening to provide . on occasion , semi open air appearance to the rooms and to add to a general effect and comfort on summer evenings. ACCOMMODATION The types of accommodation have to be varied to meet different needs. There considerable demand for groups of rooms, more especially | double bed room with | or 2 single rooms adjoining for family use. The maximum of privacy for each person , couple or family is the desirable aim and the most difficult factor provide satisfactorily. =Single rooms -floor at least 6 sq.m and the = double rooms not less than 9 sq.m, these areas are not only desirable for health , but the necessary furniture cannot be accommodated in less space. The other requirements include * a combined dressing table chest of drawers with mirror attached or on the wall above it , = a wardrobe or curtained hanging space for clothes, where luggage may also often being of a resort folding armchair type, Which can also be used in the veranda or in the gardens. COTTAGES Verandahs are desirably attached to each cottage for use as a semi- private sitting space and as a shelter in bad weather , in addition they provide a protection to the room when the door is open. Verandahs should not be less than 1.2m wide, desk chairs are about 1.2m long without leg rests and cannot be used with comfort in a space less than 1.8m long, a width of 1.2m permits the use of folding chairs of the type sp often provided in the bedrooms. Cottages should be about 1.5m apart in order to isolate them and reduce the penetration of sound. Access paths should be constructed of hard materials such as paving, which keep clean and dry quickly in wet weather. Artificial lighting should be provided.The rows of chalets must be spaced far enough apart to provide an access path, not less than 1.8m wide, separated from the veranda by grass and/or flower beds to assist privacy. Access paths should be constructed of hard materials such as paving , which keep clean and dry quickly in wet weather. Artificial lighting should be provided. Chalets probably give more privacy, with less penetration of noise. BEDROOM The room should be occupied by essential furniture and equipment, which usually consists of a bed ,a dressing table , a chest of drawers , cup-boards or wardrobe , chairs and a fire place. The door should not be placed on the same wall as the bed heads except in very small rooms, but when this is necessary a space of at least 45cm must be allowed for a bed side table or chair. The ideal aspect for bedroom is south-east so as to be bright early in the morning , during the day light hours. GENERAL DATA Single beds are from 7Sem to Lm. Double beds are 1.2m wide to 1.5m wide but the most common size is 1.3m. Twin beds, if each size is Im wide require at least 2m when placed together the length of bed is usually 2m. Asspace of at least 60em should be allowed on each side of the head of a double or twin beds for side tables. Cup-boards for the storage of clothes are better if partially lined with cedar wood as a protection against moths. A lavatory basin requires a wall space of at least 90cm and is considerably more is desirable, consideration must also be given to provision of good light for a mixror placed over the basin. Windows in bedrooms are satisfactory with the glass line Im above the floor level, and they should extend to an opening height of at least 2m above the floor. m oof ie’ bein ae BG cI ‘Mattress Height Aad! = —T— BEDS OF DIFFERENT SIZES i qa dl DRESSING TABLE BATHTUB WC AND SINKDINING ROOM: It is essential that the dining rooms should have an area sufficient to seat the maximum, number of visitors which the resort can accommodate at one time The floor area should be based on an allowance of at least 1 s.q.n/ person up to the maximum number . this permits of more generous spacing at times other than peak periods Spans of dining rooms should be as large as possible , in order to avoid supports obstructing the floor area, if plans are fairly large , light should be provided from roof lights or clerestory windows for the parts of the room away from the outside walls has the constant use of attificial light is costly in buildings of this character.

The public open spaces may include parks, gardens, recreation spaces, and children’s play areas, open-air baths , all of which may be grouped together or provided separately. Any sufficiently large open space may be developed for one of these purposes and advantage should be taken of sites not suitable for building development, such as woodlands, low-lying ground at the sides of streams, ete. The children’s play areas can with great advantage be placed near dwellings or in back placed land in the centres of groups of houses, thus avoiding the necessity of journeys and road crossings to reach the large public parks. Care should be taken to grade and drain public spaces properly , so as to ensure reasonable dryness and rapid drying after rain. Grass makes the best surface for play areas when properly drained. Drinking fountains should be provided in all public open spaces. Proper facilities are necessary for watering the grounds. CHILDREN’S PLAY AREA: All apparatus should be placed apart from general recreation and game space, preferably in the shade. Dangerous apparatus should be avoided or used only supervision. The apparatus must not only be beneficial to the children , but attractive. Swings and any other quickly moving apparatus are best placed at the sides or in the comers of the game space , to avoid children running into them when playing ball or other games. SWINGS: Chair type swings are frequently provided for small children, with this type there is less risk of small children falling backwards, To avoid the chair swings by older children , they should be small dimensions (12 inches wide only). Swings for older children usually arranged in sets of from 3 to eight , with uprights placed between every 2 or 3 wings A space of at least 4 feet is needed between each swing and a general height of 10 or 12 feet to the cross bar. Chains should be used to support the seats, which have rubber buffers on the edges to prevent serious injury to the childrenSEE-SAW: This apparatus is generally used for smaller children . The longer and safer it is . the safer it becomes. It is usual to provide a plank 12 to 14 ft long , 10 in wide, and 2 in thick, with all ends and edges carefully rounded The standard on which the plank swings and is fixed is generally 24 in high. On the underside of the ends of the plank should be fixed wooden , rubber — covered bumpers 8 in high. RINGS: This apparatus is similar to the swing , but provides facilities for arm exercises. Rings should be at various heights , but 5 to 6 ft is a good average OTHER APPARATUS: Climbing ladders and ropes Entertainment apparatus , such as merry-go-rounds , slides , miniature motor racing tracks , etc. Slightly raised platforms of wood are sometimes provided for the smaller children to use for floor games, covered with a permanent roof on posts, or with adjustable canvas sun blinds.DESKTOP STUDY ATALI GANGA RISHIKESHLOCATION: Atali Dogi, Milestone 30, Badrinath Road, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India Atali Ganga, India’s first Activotel has been listed by Conde Nast Traveller among the 50 Best New Hotels In The World, Atali Ganga is situated in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand which is a six hour drive by Road and a 30 minute flight from New Delhi, The Activotel began its operations in April 2012 and is a brain child of Vaibhav Kala who also owns and runs Aquaterra Adventures. INTRODUCTIO. Over the years, the stretch of the Ganga river (India’s holiest river, which makes the Great Indo- Gangetic plain) above the pilgrim town of Rishikesh had infrastructure that was limited and catered mainly to the pilgrim traffic headed up to the holy shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath. Very little existed for the leisure and active traveler, or the vacationer, considering this is the quickest one can get to the Himalaya. Atali Ganga set amidst reserved Forest and over 300 trees, has changed all that. Distinguished by its use of stone, reed and steel wire, the project abandons a commonplace aesthetic and other such iconographic elements to distinguish itself in favor of a building that draws its aesthetic from the means, methods and modes of its construction. The resort consists of a stone building that houses a storage facility on the lower level and a dormitory on the upper level, a veranda with a tensile roof that frames the surrounding mountains, a cafe and cottages for guests. The first building, made of stone, encased in galvanized gabion boxes and tied to each other with steel wire was constructed predominantly out of material that was either found on site or excavated from it.The cottages sit comfortably and responsibly on the hill, they have an ageless quality about them. People come to see the architecture! The cottages that dot the upper levels are characterized by their spartan luxuriousness. Entered through a private verandah, a central stone wall demarcates the tripartite bathroom from the bedroom. Extensively glazed, they open themselves up to the surrounding landscape. ATTRACTIVE ASPECTS: 1. Beautiful Location: Surrounded by reserved forest and with over 200 trees spread over the location, we offer a chie charm amidst Atali’s rustic and rugged ambience 2. Exciting Adventures: Go River Rafting on the Ganga, Kayaking, Wall Climbing. Mountain Biking. Hiking. Yoga, World-Class High-Ropes Course or even Camping out for a night within the property. 3. Friendly Atmosphere: Atali offers 22 private, comfortable and independent cottages overlooking the Ganga valley, a 60 seater restaurant ~ the White Water Café and even Conference facilities. 4. Corporate Holidays: Get away from the comfort of your board-rooms for senior management team-building, sales conferences, brainstorming and strategising.ACCOMODATION: Independent Cottages: Independent One Roomed Cottages: 16 +250 sq.ft cottages with a 85 sq.ft deck *Double bed.

With a spectacular backdrop of the mountain range and clear, blue sky, the resort boasts a breathtaking river view. Its grounds are surrounded by rice paddies, sugar cane plantations, local temples, and small villages, the signature scenery of Kanchanaburi. X2 River Kwai’s resort facilities offer a restaurant & bistro with an outdoor deck, a library, and an infinity swimming pool.The resort is the brainchild collaboration between its owner and the architect. The design theme took inspiration from Kanchanaburi’s unique history combined with the essence of its location near the historic railway, bridge, and river. The result is an avant-garde designed resort that embraces the local character. In creating the sense of place, the architecture of X2 River Kwai adopted the “light structure” concept to construct the project. Light structure is, commonly seen throughout the local neighbourhood setting such as on houses, rafts, and bridges, which are mainly built with wood and bamboo. Steel trusses of factories, mining equipment, and the distinct monument, The Bridge over River Kivai, can also be considered as light structures, which encompass the “slim but strong” philosophy. With the triangulated members, this kind of structural system gives us freedom to build things that almost “fly in the air”. This quality of flying or floating is used to create the place and to give X2 River Kwai a special experience. LuXe Cabin guests can enjoy the panoramic view of the River Kwai from their “flying” decks that stretch into the vast nature while Pool Xide Cabin guests can rest on private “raft” terraces and soak their feet in the infinity poolsSITE PLAN: FIRST FLOOR PLAN:ROOF PLAN: SECTION AA: SECTION A-ASECTION BB: SECTION B-B ELEVATION:The resort is designed with a sustainable and eco-friendly attitude. REDUCE: Employing basic materials such as conerete, OSB board, natural mountain stone, and steel, all supplies can be sourced locally. This approach, we believe, is an inventive way to create a sense of “unpretentious Inxury”. The OSB and joint rbber wooden boards, materials that are planted particularly for commercial usage, are selected to be used extensively in this project. Other sustainable materials include color-bonded corrugated steel and wood fiber cement boards for outdoor decks. Energy usage: is also greatly reduced by the extensive installation of high efficiency insulation materials along the walls, roofs and thermal-insulated pipes. All rooms are equipped with electrical key tag to cut off the electricity when the guest leaves the room. Another unique feature is the automatic air conditioner cut-off system, which is triggered when the glass door stays opened for more than 5 minutes. LED lights are installed extensively throughout the entire project to reduce electricity consumptionIn addition, throughout the construction process, the big rain trees have been deliberately conserved for both landscaping and energy-saving purposes. The trees are an essential part in absorbing Co2 and natural air-conditioning system, and they greatly aid in the cool down of the surrounding air temperature. Lying in the tree shades, hotel guests can comfortably relax and enjoy the river breeze all day long. REUSE: One can also spot that the resort reuses many of the abandoned industrial materials and turns them into chic industrial decorative. Some examples of our creative inventions include abandoned steel pipes transformed into outdoor light fittings and indoor cloth racks, unused machinery and old electric motors converted into tables and industrial sculptures, and abandoned aluminum strips altered into wall claddingRECYCLE: The riverside location of the property enables the resort to use river water for landscape irrigation. The resort also adopts waste management, sorting rubbish into different recycle categories WEDDINGS AND EVENT: The design concept of X2 River Kwai Resort was inspired by the notorious Thai-Burma Railway made famous in the 1957 Hollywood produced movie: “The Bridge on the River Kwai’ Proved to be a very popular resort used for TV filming, high-fashion magazines or PR and media events, the idyllic natural settings facing the river bend and multiple details in the design play an important part as to why it has become such a high in-demand venue. Offering both exclusivity and privacy, it is the perfect romantic set-up for pre-wedding photo- shoots, weddings or any special event couples wish to celebrate. Along with a team of highly experienced event professionals, we offer two X2 pre-wedding photo shootings packages as well as a X2 Designer Wedding package which can be tailor-made to your demands allowing a truly personalized event.Rooms: X2 River Kwai consists of 22 rooms, all facing the Kwai Noi River which offers spectacular views and serenity, The resort is located on 2 acres (6 Rai) of prime riverside location with every room offering uninterrupted panoramic river views over the idyllic countryside. There are 6 room types at X2 River Kwai all facing the beautiful Kwai Noi River.
