Location & what to see
VR Hostel sits on Phahonyothin Soi 15 in Chatuchak, a district of northern Bangkok known for its markets and residential streets. Phahonyothin is one of the city's main northern roads, and the soi leads into a mostly local neighbourhood rather than a tourist strip. Ordinary streets of shophouses and apartment blocks lead from the road to the hostel, which sits between the Skytrain and the weekend market.
The Saphan Khwai BTS Station is 150 m away, and the Skytrain runs from there to central Bangkok. The Chatuchak Weekend Market is 500 m away and has thousands of stalls. The Grand Palace is about 8 km away in the old city, and Don Mueang International Airport, the closer of the two airports, is 14.4 km away.
A good day starts with a morning at the Chatuchak Weekend Market, which is best visited at the weekend, then a short walk to Wat Phai Tan and the Sam Sen Nai Philatelic Museum before returning by Skytrain. The old city and the Grand Palace are a longer trip, so it is best to keep them for a separate day, when there is time to see the temples without rushing between districts across the city.
What guests say
Travellers rate the location highest, at 6.9, with value for money at 5.5 and the service at 5.2 close behind.
