Ibrik Resort - Hidden Gem: From 3500 to 4000 Baht. 256 Soi Wat Rakang. Just three rooms with balcony, close to Wat Rakang Pier. The river room looks to Chao Phraya River and The Grand Palace (you know: picturesque, but the noise of the boats you have to bear...). Great restaurant - Supatra on the river - next door. Next door there used to be the Patravadi Theatre, that has been reborn as Theatre Residence boutique hotel. Read the reviews by i-escape.com, tripadvisor.com and see pictures on flickr.com.
Breakfast on the river terrace
Siamotif Boutique Hotel: From 2800 Bath. An old wooden house on Bangkok Noi canal, near the craftsmanship community at Ban Bu, transformed into a Boutique Hotel. "This darling, eight-room villa is run by Maii, who inherited the 70-year-old canal house from her father and expanded it into a guesthouse, commissioning a local university art professor to paint each room", writes Vogue. As Siamotiv lies along Khlong Bangkok Noi, you should not be surprised to hear some noise from passing tourist boats, but after that you can enjoy the quiet local life. Very good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Theatre Residence Boutique Hotel: "Those who've been around long enough—the cultured ones, especially—must have been to Patravadi Theatre at least once or twice to indulge in mind-blowing contemporary acts", writes Timeout Bangkok. But artist Patravadi Mejudhon, who established this theatre, moved tu Hua Hin some years ago. Later on, Patravadi’s daughter, Velvadi Sritrairatana, opened Theatre Residence Boutique Hotel on this land. The hotel lies next to a school, what creates some noises on that side of the house. Altough very good reviews on tripadvisor.com.

Studio Suite with garden balcony
Luxx: From 3300 to 5100 Baht. A five-floor shophouse on Decho Road (a few steps from Silom intersection) has been transformed into a hotel. Beautiful timber flooring, luxurious beds and wooden bathtubs bring warmth to the 13 guest rooms. As you can read at tripadvisor.com guests often get an upgrade to a better room. But there is no elevator and if this upgrade leads to the fifth floor you have to me well trained in stairs climbing. You can hear the noise from the street in den rooms, but its not a too busy street.

Chinatown/Samphanthawong
สัมพันธวงศ
Baan 2459: Four rooms. Built in 1916, in a part of ChinaTown heavily populated by Muslims back in the early 1900's. There were two Muslim communities in the area, the Shia and the Sunni sect. It was by fate that “Mahammad Ismail” or “Khun Prayoon Vadanyakul”, a Muslim of the Sunni sect, fell in love and married “Sarah” or “Subha Tulayathamrong (Jinwala)”, a Muslim of the Shia sect. Baan 2459 is a heritage passed down through the Vadanyakul Family. Recently it was restored to grandeur by couple Hyae-Yeon “Kim” Kim and Suksan “Pok” Aueareechon, after the building had been used as a storage space for their wholesale shoe business for years, as Vogue writes. "An oasis" according to guests on tripadvisor.com.
Loy Lalong: From 2500 Bath. 1620/2 Song Wat Road. A fishermans teak house at the Chao Phraya River and at the end of the parking of Wat Pathumkongka has been turned into a boutique hotel with seven rooms and the guests are excited according to tripadvisor.com. Loy La Long is a combination of old Bangkok with well chosen design features. The main room of the hotel is very inviting with many comfortable cushions, books, hammocks and and great view from the terrace, where you enjoy the breeze from the river. Of course this old house cannot be soundproof, so you will hear other guests sometimes. The rooms are airconditioned, the common rooms have fans. The blue room is not that much recommended because the air condition of the green room disturbs some guests. Read the review on bangkok101.com

In a house built in 1892 the hotel was designed in the style and elegance of 1930’s Shanghai. Not all the rooms have windows some have rooms towards the water garden with a fish pond. Jazz Bar Cotton is well known for live music. Very good reviews on tripadvisor.com.

Ba Hao: Karnchanit “Bua” Charoenyos launched this two-room guesthouse in april 2017, occupying the upper floors of a shophouse formerly used to sell rice and seeds. According to Vogue she is "part of a growing set of local entrepreneurs who are rejecting the glass buildings along Bangkok’s main drag, Sukhumvit Road, in favor of an area that still feels authentic." ricepotato.co writes: "Founded by a group of Thai friends with backgrounds in hospitality, design, and architecture, Ba Hao is a “co-living space” featuring a cocktail bar, a living room, and two spacious bedrooms in a renovated 40-year old shophouse. Translated from Chinese, Ba Hao means ‘house number eight’, a nod to the building’s address and the Chinese heritage that this area is steeped in."

Atlanta Hotel: From 700 to 1700 Baht. 78 Soi 2 Sukhumvit Road. "Sex tourists not welcome“, this hotel writes on it's homepage. "Sex tourism is exploitative, socially damaging and culturally demeaning: those who want to buy sex should do so in their own country." Anmd they go on: "The Atlanta is popular with cultured occidentals, with writers, academics, artists, cinema & theatre and other professional people, with dreamers and innocuous eccentrics, and their families, who can afford to stay at more expensive places but choose to stay at The Atlanta." The Atlanta is proud of the oldest unaltered hotel foyer in Thailand designed by the Berliner Dr Max Henn (1906 - 2002) and his wife in the 1950s and influenced by central European theatre architecture and set designs of the 1920s and 1930s. The Hotel plays Western classical music all day. Music composed by The King of Thailand is played during lunch time. And the hotel promises: "Absolutely no pop music". A path through a lush garden leads to a pool surrounded by hammocks. The reviews on tripadvisor are controversial. Some guests love the hotel, even if the rooms are quite basic (budget hotel!). Others complain abut the management. But everybody seems to agree, that the restaurant has an excellent kitchen (many vegetarian dishes).

Ibrik Resort - Hidden Gem: From 3500 to 4000 Baht. 256 Soi Wat Rakang. Just three rooms with balcony, close to Wat Rakang Pier. The river room looks to Chao Phraya River and The Grand Palace (you know: picturesque, but the noise of the boats you have to bear...). Great restaurant - Supatra on the river - next door. Next door there used to be the Patravadi Theatre, that has been reborn as Theatre Residence boutique hotel. Read the reviews by i-escape.com, tripadvisor.com and see pictures on flickr.com.
Breakfast on the river terrace
Siamotif Boutique Hotel: From 2800 Bath. An old wooden house on Bangkok Noi canal, near the craftsmanship community at Ban Bu, transformed into a Boutique Hotel.

As Siamotiv lies along Khlong Bangkok Noi, you should not be surprised to hear some noise from passing tourist boats, but after that you can enjoy the quiet local life. Very good reviews on tripadvisor.com.

Theatre Residence Boutique Hotel: "Those who've been around long enough—the cultured ones, especially—must have been to Patravadi Theatre at least once or twice to indulge in mind-blowing contemporary acts", writes Timeout Bangkok. But artist Patravadi Mejudhon, who established this theatre, moved tu Hua Hin some years ago. Later on, Patravadi’s daughter, Velvadi Sritrairatana, opened Theatre Residence Boutique Hotel on this land. The hotel lies next to a school, what creates some noises on that side of the house. Altough very good reviews on tripadvisor.com.

Luxx: From 3300 to 5100 Baht. A five-floor shophouse on Decho Road (a few steps from Silom intersection) has been transformed into a hotel. Beautiful timber flooring, luxurious beds and wooden bathtubs bring warmth to the 13 guest rooms. As you can read at tripadvisor.com guests often get an upgrade to a better room. But there is no elevator and if this upgrade leads to the fifth floor you have to me well trained in stairs climbing. You can hear the noise from the street in den rooms, but its not a too busy street.

Chinatown/Samphanthawong

Baan 2459: Four rooms. Built in 1916, in a part of ChinaTown heavily populated by Muslims back in the early 1900's. There were two Muslim communities in the area, the Shia and the Sunni sect. It was by fate that “Mahammad Ismail” or “Khun Prayoon Vadanyakul”, a Muslim of the Sunni sect, fell in love and married “Sarah” or “Subha Tulayathamrong (Jinwala)”, a Muslim of the Shia sect. Baan 2459 is a heritage passed down through the Vadanyakul Family. Recently it was restored to grandeur by couple Hyae-Yeon “Kim” Kim and Suksan “Pok” Aueareechon, after the building had been used as a storage space for their wholesale shoe business for years, as Vogue writes. "An oasis" according to guests on tripadvisor.com.
Loy Lalong: From 2500 Bath. 1620/2 Song Wat Road. A fishermans teak house at the Chao Phraya River and at the end of the parking of Wat Pathumkongka has been turned into a boutique hotel with seven rooms and the guests are excited according to tripadvisor.com. Loy La Long is a combination of old Bangkok with well chosen design features. The main room of the hotel is very inviting with many comfortable cushions, books, hammocks and and great view from the terrace, where you enjoy the breeze from the river. Of course this old house cannot be soundproof, so you will hear other guests sometimes. The rooms are airconditioned, the common rooms have fans. The blue room is not that much recommended because the air condition of the green room disturbs some guests. Read the review on bangkok101.com

Ba Hao: Karnchanit “Bua” Charoenyos launched this two-room guesthouse in april 2017, occupying the upper floors of a shophouse formerly used to sell rice and seeds. According to Vogue she is "part of a growing set of local entrepreneurs who are rejecting the glass buildings along Bangkok’s main drag, Sukhumvit Road, in favor of an area that still feels authentic." ricepotato.co writes: "Founded by a group of Thai friends with backgrounds in hospitality, design, and architecture, Ba Hao is a “co-living space” featuring a cocktail bar, a living room, and two spacious bedrooms in a renovated 40-year old shophouse. Translated from Chinese, Ba Hao means ‘house number eight’, a nod to the building’s address and the Chinese heritage that this area is steeped in."

Atlanta Hotel: From 700 to 1700 Baht. 78 Soi 2 Sukhumvit Road. "Sex tourists not welcome“, this hotel writes on it's homepage. "Sex tourism is exploitative, socially damaging and culturally demeaning: those who want to buy sex should do so in their own country." Anmd they go on: "The Atlanta is popular with cultured occidentals, with writers, academics, artists, cinema & theatre and other professional people, with dreamers and innocuous eccentrics, and their families, who can afford to stay at more expensive places but choose to stay at The Atlanta." The Atlanta is proud of the oldest unaltered hotel foyer in Thailand designed by the Berliner Dr Max Henn (1906 - 2002) and his wife in the 1950s and influenced by central European theatre architecture and set designs of the 1920s and 1930s. The Hotel plays Western classical music all day. Music composed by The King of Thailand is played during lunch time. And the hotel promises: "Absolutely no pop music". A path through a lush garden leads to a pool surrounded by hammocks. The reviews on tripadvisor are controversial. Some guests love the hotel, even if the rooms are quite basic (budget hotel!). Others complain abut the management. But everybody seems to agree, that the restaurant has an excellent kitchen (many vegetarian dishes).
