The Kong

The rooms at The Kong sleep from two to five guests, and the beds include single, queen and king options. Several rooms have air conditioning, a bathtub and a shared bathroom, and the Double Room also has a balcony or terrace and a fireplace. Some rooms sleep up to three guests and others up to five.

All guests can use the shared lounge and TV area, the fitness centre and the 24-hour front desk. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. The guesthouse is in SaiMai, a district in the north of Bangkok close to Don Mueang International Airport, and check-in runs from 14:00 to 00:00 with check-out by 12:00.

The Kong has a 24-hour front desk, and the public areas have air conditioning. Guests can use the shared lounge and TV area, the fitness centre, the lockers and the luggage storage, and private check-in and check-out are offered. Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in public areas.

The property has a terrace, a playground, a shared kitchen and a business centre with xerox and fax. It also offers family rooms, allergy-free rooms and non-smoking rooms, and English and Thai are spoken.

A doctor or nurse is on call, and 24-hour security is provided. Guests who want to use the fitness centre or the shared lounge can do so without leaving the property.

The Kong stands in SaiMai, a residential district in the north of Bangkok where local markets, small temples and parks sit between houses and apartment blocks. The guesthouse is on Soi Phahon Yothin, and the area works well for a stay close to the airport rather than a base in the old city. Visitors who come here usually want a quieter place than the busy tourist districts, and the shared lounge gives guests somewhere to meet.

Don Mueang International Airport is 2.5 km away, so the area is practical for early or late flights. Rittiya Park is 400 m from the guesthouse, and the pagoda of Wat Koh Suwanaram is 700 m away, while the ST Phoemsin Market is 1.1 km off. The Saphan Mai BTS station is nearby and gives access to the Skytrain network.

A day in central Bangkok can start at the Grand Palace, 22.7 km away, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in its grounds. The Chatuchak Weekend Market, which is busy at weekends, makes a lively day out. The Skytrain is one way to reach the city centre from the station, and a taxi covers the same journey by road, so the area works for both sightseeing and quiet evenings in SaiMai.
