The Silver Palm Wellness Resort

Rooms at The Silver Palm Wellness Resort come as studios, residences and suites, most with a garden view and some with a city view. Capacity goes up to five guests in the larger residences and the suite, and the studios sleep up to three. Bathrooms are private, several with a separate shower and bathtub.

The larger residences and the suite add an extra bathroom and toilet. Electric kettles and hair dryers are provided in the rooms, and some residences also have satellite and cable channels, a streaming service and internet access. Mirrors and hair dryers are part of the bathroom setup, and the views are either garden or city, depending on the room.

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and a spa with a sauna and steam room, and a massage service is also available. There is a garden to walk around, a bar and a poolside bar, and restaurants serving breakfast in Asian, buffet, continental and Western styles, along with room service and a snack bar. Restaurant lunch and dinner are served, and the coffee shop is open for a lighter meal.

On the practical side, there is a 24-hour front desk, a concierge, laundry service, luggage storage, tours, a shuttle service and an airport transfer. The property is wheelchair accessible, and family rooms are also offered. Parking on site is free, and Wi-Fi is free in all rooms.

The hotel is in the Ramkhamhaeng area of eastern Bangkok, in the Hua Mak neighbourhood, a mainly residential part of the city. The surroundings are local rather than visitor-focused, and the setting is quieter than the central tourist districts. Everyday life here revolves around neighbourhood markets and small local shops rather than the tourist strips of the centre, and several parks, including Piyapirom Park and Muang Thong Park, give the area some green space.

The Airport Rail Link Hua Mak Station is 250 m away, and it runs on the line to Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is 12.4 km from the hotel. Nearby, The Prasart Museum, which shows Thai art, is 750 m away, and Vibharam Hospital is 500 m away. The neighbourhood is a practical base for anyone who wants a local stay with the airport line close at hand.

Bangkok's main attractions are a longer trip from here. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in the city, is 12.6 km away, and the Airport Rail Link can take you towards the centre from the station near the hotel. A day in central Bangkok, with the temples and the Grand Palace, is a longer journey, and the rail link and taxis are the practical way to reach it. A day out could start with the weekend market and finish back at the hotel's spa and sauna.
