Thongtara House Boutique Residence

Bottom line: I'll stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat. I've stayed at many hotels in the Bangkok area and this is one of my favorites. Awesome boutique hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok but still close enough to feel like you're in the city. Each room has a different theme and different amenities. I stayed in the galaxy room (see pics) and felt like I was 10 again. It was awesome. Quick note, the bathtub rooms don't have a shower (at least not mine). The breakfast was decent, bit limited selection of foods. The pool is top quality. Staff is friendly and helpful. Some have English skills while others don't. And it seemed like a family run hotel, not one owned by a faceless corporation. So you're treated a bit better. The hallways looked as though there were renovations and improvements going on. The rooms have new high quality electronic locks. There are several shopping and dining areas a short drive away and some local food stalls as well. Nearest BTS station is about a 10 minute drive. Staff can help get you a taxi if needed.

Thongtara House Hotel is a quaint, small, family run hotel in the midst of a semi industrial part of Bangkok. It is a perfect place to end or begin a Thailand trip - to unwind in the clean, peaceful swimming pool. Our kids loved the kitchy themed rooms which were clean and spacious - with fantastic baths to clean grubby bodies! The staff were super helpful, kind and attentive.
