SAMs Guest House

The rooms at SAMs Guest House cover a range of group sizes, from a 12 m² room with a queen bed for two to a 25 m² room with a queen and a king bed for up to four guests. Some rooms overlook the city and others the street, and rooms can have a fan, a shower and an additional bathroom.

A 20 m² king room with a city view and a bathtub, and a room allocated on arrival for up to three guests, complete the selection. Rooms can also have a balcony or terrace, a microwave, a full kitchen with kitchenware, or a bathtub, depending on the room you book.

Other services include luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, currency exchange, a doorman, and daily housekeeping. Laundry is covered by a laundry service, a laundromat and dry cleaning, and laptop or PC rental is also offered.

For getting around, an airport transfer and a taxi service are offered, and tours and ticket services can be arranged. Massage treatments, a grooming service and a terrace are also offered, along with a convenience store.

SAMs Guest House sits on Vibhawadee Road in Chatuchak, a residential and market district in north Bangkok that is best known for its enormous weekend market. The streets around the hotel are lined with small shops and housing rather than tourist venues, so the area feels more local than the centre. It is a practical base for anyone who wants to see the city beyond its main sights, with the Chatuchak Weekend Market as its best-known draw.

The Mo Chit BTS Station and the Chatuchak Park MRT Station are both 950 m away, so the skytrain and the metro are close by for trips into the centre. The Chatuchak Weekend Market is 1.2 km from the hotel, with stalls selling clothes, crafts, plants and food. Across the river, Wat Arun stands on the Chao Phraya, and the Grand Palace, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha inside its walls, is 9 km away.

A day could start at the Chatuchak Weekend Market and continue by skytrain to Siam, where the big shopping malls such as Siam Paragon are. Khaosan Road, the backpacker street in old Banglamphu, is a longer trip across town. The closest airport is Don Mueang International Airport, 13.8 km away.
