Pimthong Place

I stayed at Pimthong Place as I had only one night in Bangkok, arriving in the evening and leaving early the next morning. But I loved that place so much that I would definitively stay even if I had more time. It allowed me to foresee a different area of Bangkok, quite animated and with a night market. The street where the guesthouse is is lovely. As its owner. She welcomed me and organized a taxi for the next morning at a very fair price. The place is beautiful. My room was cosy and comfortable. And the breakfast is the best one I've had!!

If I had to rate the hostess I would give it straight 10. Julia is very lovely, friendly and helpful in every way. The stay is located in a nice residential area with a most authentic food market we’ve been to in a walking distance. The place itself is very lovingly decorated and sparkling clean. Since I am rating the quality of our stay I would give it 7 and that is mainly because of the quality of our sleep. What made it very uncomfortable was the amount of light coming through the curtains (just cotton sheer) and one other large opening in the wall (above the beds across the entire wall). The property was drenched in light from many light bulbs and even we tried to find the switch, we couldn’t. The fact that there was nobody from the staff present overnight (a phone number provided in case help is needed) didn’t help much. Also the beds were very hard. We thought we knew hard but this was a new level of hardness. Other than that we enjoyed walking through the residential streets watching the daily life unfold. Lastly, a taxi to the airport takes approximately 15 minutes.

This is a renovated traditional Thai home, very quaint and classy, and surprisingly quiet given its easy access to the airport. The owners are so available, accommodating, thoughtful, and helpful.
