Free parking and free WiFi are available, with free wired internet and satellite or cable channels on the TV. The kitchen comes with a microwave, refrigerator, freezer, stove, dishes and dining utensils, and kitchen basics such as cookware, oils and condiments, plus a BBQ grill.

Chom Phon is a residential neighbourhood in Bangkok, and the villa sits on a soi off Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, one of the main roads north of the city centre. Life around here is more local than in the central tourist districts, with residential streets and neighbourhood shops close by. The Ratchadaphisek and Lat Phrao MRT stations are a short distance away, which keeps the rest of the city close.

Vibhaphirom Park is 650 m from the villa, a green space in the neighbourhood, and Chatuchak Weekend Market is 2.1 km away, one of the largest weekend markets in Bangkok, with clothes, food, crafts and plants on sale. Further into the city, The Grand Palace is 10.1 km away, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha stands within its complex. Wat Arun, on the bank of the Chao Phraya river, is 10.7 km away.

A full day could start at Chatuchak Weekend Market, which opens on weekends, and continue with the Grand Palace and Wat Arun in the afternoon. Jim Thompson House, the former home of the American who promoted Thai silk, is also worth a visit. After the day out, the private pool and hot tub at the villa are a good place to relax.
