The Diamond 789 Minburi

The rooms at The Diamond 789 Minburi come in several layouts. Some have a city view, and some measure 24 or 25 m², with capacity up to three guests. Showers and air conditioning are among the in-room features.

The rooms suit a stay in eastern Bangkok, with the Min Buri Market MRT Station 400 m away and Suvarnabhumi Airport 14.3 km away. Guests who want to explore the district's markets and temples will find the apartment a convenient starting point for a day out.

The Diamond 789 Minburi has a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi in all rooms and free parking on site, and the parking also includes bicycle spaces and a car charging station. Room service, daily housekeeping, luggage storage and a laundromat are available, and there is a fitness centre on the property.

The property has an elevator, a terrace and 24-hour security, and taxi service is available too. For meals and drinks, a shared kitchen, a vending machine, bottled water and food delivery are available, and English and Thai are among the languages spoken. Guests arriving by taxi can use the on-site taxi service, and luggage storage is available for those who want to leave bags before or after a day out.

Minburi is a district on the eastern edge of Bangkok, and the apartment sits on Soi Sihaburanukit 9, a residential lane away from the big tourist sights. The area is everyday in character, with local markets, parks and temples rather than large shopping districts. Life here follows the rhythm of the neighbourhood, which suits anyone who wants to see how Bangkok's suburbs live from day to day.

The Min Buri Market MRT Station is 400 m away, making the metro the closest rail link to the rest of the city. Minburi Market is also nearby, and Wat Bang Peng Tai Temple is in the same area. Suvarnabhumi Airport, the main international airport for Bangkok, is 14.3 km away by road. Wat Bang Peng Tai Temple and the neighbourhood's markets give the area a local, everyday feel that is quite different from the old city.

A day in this part of the city could start at Minburi Market and continue to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in Bangkok, which is 19 km away and best known at weekends. Combining the local markets with a trip into the old city makes a full day, though the Grand Palace is a long way from the apartment at 26.2 km.
