Em Yu Home Resort

Every room at Em Yu Home Resort has air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, a flat-screen TV, a dining table, an electric kettle and free bottled water. Rooms measure between 20 and 30 m² and hold between two and six guests, each with its own layout.

Some rooms have a garden view and one has a courtyard view, so the outlook depends on the room you book. Each room has its own bathroom, and the in-room equipment described above is the same across the whole property, so the choice comes down to the view, the bed and the number of guests.

Em Yu Home Resort has a 24-hour front desk, a salon and a garden, and the property also has a convenience store and a vending machine on site. Food delivery is available, and guests can also arrange an alternative meal. The vending machine and the convenience store make it easy to pick up snacks and essentials without going out.

For families, the property has a family room and a playground. Pets are allowed, and staff speak English and Thai.

Inside the rooms, guests find a seating area and a separate dining area, and ground-floor rooms are available. Free parking is on site, and Wi-Fi is free in all rooms and also available in public areas.

Min Buri is an outer district of Bangkok, well away from the old city and the main shopping areas. The neighbourhood is quieter than the centre and suits guests who want green space and a slower pace of day, with local streets, parks and markets rather than the big tourist crowds of the old city.

The closest sight is Wat Sam Ngam, a pagoda about 1.5 km away, and Wat Sap Samoson Nikon Kasem, another pagoda, lies about 2.7 km off. Nong Chok Park, a public park with open green space, is about 6 km away, and Nong Chok Market serves the local area for everyday shopping. Central Bangkok, with the Grand Palace and the riverside temples, is a longer trip across the city, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is about 21.5 km away.

A good day could start with the pagodas nearby and then continue to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, a large market that opens on weekends. The Min Buri MRT station is about 11 km away for those who prefer to travel by train, while guests who drive will find free parking on site. The Chatuchak market is a good choice for a full morning, and the temples of central Bangkok reward a longer day out.
