Banthat Thong Hostel

Banthat Thong Hostel offers dormitory beds alongside rooms with single, twin, double or king beds, and guests share the bathrooms. The choice runs from dormitory beds to king-bed double rooms. Some rooms have a street view and others have no windows, so the view depends on the room you book.

Banthat Thong Hostel is on Banthat Thong Road in Rongmueng, in the Pathumwan district of central Bangkok. Pathumwan is known for its universities and large shopping centres. The area mixes university buildings, office blocks and street-food stalls, with the railway and metro close by, so the streets around the hostel have a steady flow of people through the day.

Hua Lamphong MRT station is 450 m away, and the Hua Lamphong railway station, Bangkok's main long-distance rail hub, is about 500 m from the hostel. Chulalongkorn University Centennial Park is a green space in the university district, the park is a quiet break from the traffic in the city, and Sam Yan Market, a local market, is also nearby. The Chao Mae Tubtim Shrine, a spirit shrine, is 250 m from the hostel, so the neighbourhood's religious sites are easy to reach on foot.

A day out could begin at the Grand Palace, 3.5 km away, and continue to Wat Arun on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya river. On weekends, Chatuchak Weekend Market is open for a morning of shopping and food, and it is a good choice for travellers who want to see how Bangkok spends its free time, from food stalls to clothing stalls.
