A-2 House

Rooms at A-2 House include city-view rooms, from a Standard room of 27 m² with a choice of bed set-ups to a Deluxe room of 28 m² with a king bed. A Deluxe Triple of 30 m² has one double bed and one single bed, and a 30 m² family room has two double beds for up to four guests.

Several rooms have a bathtub, and the Deluxe room has a private bathroom with a shower and a hair dryer. Some rooms also have an internet connection, a telephone and satellite and cable channels on the TV. Whether an extra bed can be added depends on the room, and an extra bed carries an additional charge.

The hotel offers tours, ticket services and currency exchange, along with luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk, which is open at all hours. Room service is available, and the hotel has an elevator for getting between floors.

The hotel also provides daily housekeeping, dry cleaning, ironing and laundry services, so the room is looked after each day, and English and Thai are spoken at the property.

Free Wi-Fi covers all rooms, and WiFi is also available in the public areas. Rooms can have air conditioning, a desk, linens, a refrigerator, a shower, a hair dryer and a balcony or terrace, so guests can settle in with the basics in place.

A-2 House sits on Petchburi Road in Pratunam, one of central Bangkok's busiest shopping districts, where malls, markets and clothing stalls line the streets around the rail stations. Street food stalls and massage shops are part of the everyday life of the district, and the hotel is 400 m from the Ratchaprarop station of the Airport Rail Link.

The Jim Thompson House, a teak house museum with Thai silk and Asian art collections, is 1.2 km away, and Suan Pakkad Palace, a complex of traditional Thai houses and gardens, is 550 m away. The Grand Palace in the old city is 5.2 km away, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market, a sprawling weekend market with thousands of stalls, is 5.3 km away. The Phaya Thai Train Station is also on the rail network, a useful link to the city's other districts, and the Airport Rail Link runs from the airport through this part of the city toward the centre.

A good day here could start with the gardens of Suan Pakkad Palace and the teak houses of Jim Thompson House, then continue to the Grand Palace and Wat Arun on the river by taxi, with the Asiatique riverfront for the evening.
