Boutique hotel created from a historic Thai wooden house located directly on the river front. Each room is unique and has its own terrace overlooking the Chao Phraya river.
As much an experience as a place to stay, this sensitive conversion project included the installation of modern hotel amenities such as air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms, as well as WiFi and satellite TV. The hotel also has a small guest only bar and restaurant serving modern European, fusion and classic Thai dishes. The river views are priceless.

T-Boutique Hostel
- Walking distance from Station: 750 metres
- Star Rating: 2 stars
Old school budget hostel given a modern make over. There are three room options: dormitory with 4 beds; twin room with bunk bed; or small double room. All rooms share bathrooms. This hostel does, however, have a shared kitchen facility, TV lounge, safety deposit box and free WiFi. For the price its a bargain. Renovated in 2014 the decor is clean and modern. The owner and staff have a reputation for being friendly and helpful. This is a good option for young travellers who want to meet other people and the budget conscious wanting a cheap over night stay.
