5BB guest house

The guesthouse has rooms for one to three guests. The single and double rooms share a bathroom and come with towels, linens and a fan, and they are accessible by stairs.

Guests can book a single room with one single bed or a double room with one double bed. Rooms for up to three guests mean a group of three can share one room.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in the public areas, and internet services are offered to guests. An on-site restaurant serves meals, and alternative meal arrangements are offered. The shared kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and utensils, so guests who prefer to cook their own food can do so.

Daily housekeeping is provided, and a doctor or nurse is on call. English and Thai are spoken by the staff, and a breakfast takeaway service is also offered. The guesthouse has a shared kitchen and a restaurant under one roof, which covers both cooking and eating out.

5BB guest house is in the Ramkhamhaeng area of eastern Bangkok, a district of residential streets and local businesses that feels calmer than the tourist streets closer to the river. It is a good choice for travellers who want a quieter neighbourhood while still being close enough to the city's main sights to reach by taxi or train. The streets around the guesthouse are mainly residential, with a pagoda and a park nearby.

Hua Mak Station, the nearest rail stop, is 1.3 km away, and TNI Park and the Wat Ban Thung Seri pagoda are close by. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in Thailand and known for its clothing, food and crafts, is 10.8 km away. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 14.3 km away.

A day in the old city can start at The Grand Palace, 14.8 km away, and continue to Wat Arun, 15.1 km away, on the bank of the Chao Phraya river. The Grand Palace complex includes the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and Wat Arun is known for its tall central prang, decorated with coloured porcelain. Khaosan Road, the backpacker street near the river, is another stop, while Jim Thompson House is a museum set in traditional Thai houses, a little further out.
