Bangkok Houses

The apartments at Bangkok Houses each measure between 52 and 57 m² and sleep up to six guests, with a choice of bed set-ups. Every apartment has two bedrooms and one bathroom, along with a TV, a hair dryer and toiletries.

Several apartments have a kitchen with cookware, a microwave and a refrigerator, and some have a balcony or terrace, air conditioning or a baby cot. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, too.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms at Bangkok Houses. Rooms can have air conditioning, a desk, ironing facilities, a coffee and tea maker, complimentary tea and free instant coffee.

Linens, toiletries and a hair dryer are provided in the apartments, and each one has a TV, so the basic comforts are covered from the first night.

Bangkok Houses sits in the Khaosan Road area, one of Bangkok's busiest neighbourhoods for travellers, where guesthouses, bars, shops and street-food stalls line the lanes close to the old royal core of the city. Khaosan Road itself is 600 m away. In the evening the street fills with bars and the smell of street food, while the lanes nearby hold traditional Thai massage parlours and small shops selling souvenirs and handmade crafts. It suits visitors who want to spend their days among temples and their evenings among street-food stalls.

The Grand Palace is 1.8 km away, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) stands inside its walls, so the two sights make a natural first day. Wat Arun, the riverside temple with a tall tiered spire, is 2.5 km away on the far bank of the Chao Phraya river. For the river itself, the Phra Arthit ferry terminal is 550 m away, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market, a large weekend market for shopping and food, is 6.7 km away.

A good day can begin at the Grand Palace, cross the river to Wat Arun by boat, and end back on Khaosan Road with dinner from a street-food stall. The river is also the most scenic way to reach the temples on the far bank. Chatuchak is a longer trip across the city, so it works best as a day out of its own.
