Bang Luang House

What we say:

Tucked right across the canal from Khlong Bang Luang artist village, Bang Luang's two rooms are currently the only place to stay in this artsy, eclectic and relaxed neighbourhood. Both rooms are set in a single storey concrete building, and while these don't possess the same charm as the many nearby stilted wood homes, the building is stylish and colourful and doesn't feel out of place. Each room is huge and comes equipped with a sitting area surrounded by tasteful Thai art and vintage toy collections along with air-con, fan, fridge, antique wooden furniture including desks and bureaus, modern hot-water bathroom, queen size bed with mosquito net and large wooden doors opening onto a spacious veranda over the canal that's filled with flowers and potted plants. While this is a great area for couples, artists or anyone seeking a unique setting, it's a 60 baht taxi ride to the nearest BTS station so is more for those wanting to stay away from Bangkok's nightlife and touristy areas. A 24-hour 7-eleven, a few outstanding noodle shops and Baan Sinlapin artist cafe and performance space are all around the corner. Upon arrival you'll first need to check in with the warmhearted owners at Bang Luang antique gallery right next to Baan Sinlapin. Prices are negotiable for longer stays. No WiFi on-site but it's free at Baan Sinlapin.
