Earth Home @ IMPACT Muongthong Thani

The property has two apartments: a 50 m² two-bedroom superior apartment that sleeps up to four guests, and a 30 m² one-bedroom deluxe apartment that sleeps two. Both have air conditioning, a shower and a flat-screen TV, and the beds can be arranged in a choice of set-ups.

A lake view comes with the two-bedroom apartment, and a city view with the one-bedroom apartment. Toiletries, slippers and complimentary tea are provided in both apartments, and each one has its own shower.

Practical services make up most of what the property offers. There is an elevator, 24-hour security, a laundry service and a postal service, and express and private check-in and check-out are both possible. English and Thai are spoken, and there is a cash withdrawal point on site. With no reception desk, the property asks guests to send their estimated arrival time in advance.

For food and everyday needs there is a coffee shop, a convenience store, a salon and shops, as well as a library and a shrine on the premises. Parking is on site, free Wi-Fi reaches all rooms, and the rooms have a flat-screen TV. Rooms can also include a microwave, a refrigerator, a closet, free bottled water and free instant coffee.

Earth Home @ IMPACT Muongthong Thani sits in Bangput, in Nonthaburi province on the northern edge of Bangkok, in a residential and commercial area around Muang Thong Thani. The neighbourhood has parks, local markets and the large IMPACT complex nearby, and it suits guests who want to stay close to Don Mueang airport rather than the historic centre.

Mso Park is right next to the property, and Wat Phasuk Manichak, a temple with a pagoda, is about 400 m away. The Si Rat MRT Station, 1.7 km away, is the nearest rail link, and the Mali Market and the Ruamjai Fresh Market, both within 1.5 km, are good places for everyday shopping. Don Mueang International Airport is 6.9 km away, while Suvarnabhumi Airport is 33.8 km away.

A day here can start at Mso Park and continue to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's largest markets, which is open at weekends. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun are further into the old city, so most guests plan that part of the trip as a separate outing. Back in the neighbourhood, the Ruamjai Fresh Market shows how the local community shops for food, and the Tooney Museum is another place to visit in the area on a day out from the property.
