Location & what to see
Hello my friend is in Banglamphu, one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Bangkok, on Soi Samsen 4 in Phra Nakhon District. The lanes around it are narrow and lined with old shophouses and small shops, and the temples and palaces of the old city lie on the same bank of the Chao Phraya river as the property.
Khao San Road, the backpacker street with guesthouses, travel agencies and food stalls, is 600 m away. The Grand Palace is 1.8 km away, and Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, stands inside its walls. Wat Arun lies across the river, and riverboat piers such as Phra Arthit and Thewet are close by. Sam Yot MRT station is also nearby, so the metro can be used to reach other parts of the city.
A good day could begin at the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, continue with a boat across the river to Wat Arun, and end on Khao San Road for dinner and a walk through the lanes. The Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi airports are 20.1 km and 28.1 km away, both reached by road, and Chatuchak Weekend Market is a longer trip north that is worth a separate day.
What guests say
Travellers rate the service (9.9), the cleanliness and the facilities (both 9.7) most highly, and the location and value for money also score very well.
