The Local Surasak Hostel

The rooms at The Local Surasak Hostel are dormitory beds, and every room has a city view and air conditioning. The mixed dormitory measures 40 m² and has five bunk beds, while the female-only dormitory measures 15 m² and has three bunk beds.

Both dormitories share a bathroom, and both are set up for one guest. The garden and the shared lounge/TV area are common spaces outside the rooms, open to guests alongside their beds.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. There is also an airport transfer, and daily housekeeping is provided.

A coffee shop is on site, and the garden and the shared lounge/TV area are common spaces outside the rooms, and the lounge has comfortable seating and a large flat-screen TV. A business centre offers Xerox and fax, and English and Thai are spoken at the hostel.

Lockers and luggage storage are available for guests, and express check-in and check-out are offered as well.

The Local Surasak Hostel is in the Sathorn district of central Bangkok, one of the city's main business areas, with office towers along the main roads and quieter lanes between them. The hostel stands in the Yannawa part of Sathorn, reached from South Sathorn Road, and it sits on a soi, the side lane, rather than on the main road itself.

Surasak BTS Station is 400 m away and Saphan Taksin BTS Station 800 m, so the Skytrain is the simplest way to reach the rest of the city. Surasak is on the Silom line, which serves the central shopping areas. Within a short distance are Wat Suthiwararam, a temple 150 m away, and Assumption Cathedral, a historic Catholic church about 1 km off. Sathorn Pier, a Chao Phraya river ferry stop 950 m away, gives access to the river.

A day out can take in the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, which sit on opposite banks of the Chao Phraya river, and Jim Thompson House, the former home of the American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson, now a museum. The Grand Palace complex, which holds the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is on the east bank in the old city, while Wat Arun is across the water on the Thonburi side.
