This was our first time staying in Bangkok's old city. When arranging hotels, Wendy let me plan it myself. From his list of newly opened hotels in 2016, he picked The Orchid House 153. We thought the rooms were clean and comfortable, and it seemed like a good opportunity to try something away from downtown Bangkok and see the local lifestyle. If you're also planning a trip, this hotel is worth adding to your list. (🔎Booking prices and reviews:)agoda|booking.com|Trip|klook)

This hotel is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. From the map below, it can be seen that it is far away from the commercial area of the city center, and is closer to riverside attractions and other life styles, such as Khao San Road and China Town.However, the taxi fare in Bangkok is not expensive. You can call a taxi directly through Grab Taxi or All Thai Taxi, and the fare is about 200 baht for a trip. It is better than the hard work of taking the MRT and then changing to a taxi.Anya recommends that novices plan a 6-day itinerary, consider living in the BTS Asoke business district for the first three days, enjoying various department stores, gourmet food, and taking the MRT to run some attractions, and then switching to Orchid House Resort Hotel for the next three days. Mainly focusing on riverside attractions, feeling the different city culture and life, Bangkok and his party are greatly satisfied.

The Orchid House 153 is a 3-storey building and offers 3 types of rooms:
– Deluxe Double or Twin Room: 18㎡
-Junior Suite Double or Twin Room: 25㎡
– King Suite – City View: 30㎡
I booked a small suite during the early bird discount, costing less than 3,000 yuan per night. I was initially quite apprehensive about the room's quality, but all my doubts vanished the moment I opened the door. Located on the first floor, it was a corner room with two large windows that brought in plenty of natural light. Some reviews on the booking website mentioned no windows, but after checking the information, I found that the second and third room types had windows to allow air circulation and natural light. If you like the descriptions in this article and want to book, it's best to avoid the first room type. (🔎Booking prices and reviews:)agoda|booking.com|Trip|klook)
The rooms are decorated with wood and calm tones. Anya secretly thinks whether the boss is spending money on teak furniture. It seems very durable and easy to use. But when you think about when the price of a room is very affordable, you can get back.The room is divided into a single and a double bed. If you are bringing children to Bangkok, it is indeed much more convenient. Since the two of us stayed in, we also slept one each, so I didn’t disturb the lead Wendy’s sleep. I used to sleep late at night. Only when you are sleeping, the room facilities and free internet meet all the needs of your accommodation.
However, the shower room uses the common electric water heater in the homestay, because there is no water pressure problem on the first floor of the accommodation. After taking a good shower, I rolled into bed to slide my phone and chase drama.
▲ The room is quite spacious. Compared to other cities in Asia, Bangkok definitely wins!
▲ Checking in during the new opening, all equipments are quite brand new.
▲ List of shower spaces.
▲ The hotel does not provide disposable slippers, it is a bit similar to Naraya's cotton slippers!
▲ Next, let’s take a look at the breakfast lineup and the surrounding environment of the hotel.
The Orchid House 153 breakfast and surroundings
Orchid House Resort’s breakfast is prepared with a set meal per person. On this day, I tasted Thai fried pho as main meal with fruit, juice and a cup of hot coffee. This type is common in small hotels and sometimes eaten. I feel very tasteful.There are no public facilities in this restaurant. Some are surrounded by community life. At noon we go to a nearby store to taste the snack bar that locals do. In the afternoon, we will walk to the surrounding area to see the river bank and residents’ life. Quite pleasant.
There are also Buddhist temples and schools nearby. In the morning, you hear the sound of congratulations from a distance, and in the afternoon you will see some children playing in the school situation. Sometimes travel may not necessarily be in the most convenient environment. This kind of vacation life is also more comfortable. .
▲ Overview of the surrounding environment of the community.
▲ Check out the next day and prepare to take Uber to the next hotel. I hope to stay again on the next trip!
