Small Thai home with spacious common area and simple furnishings
Khaosan Baan Thai is small and homey guesthouse/hostel in a Thai home, complete with a white-picket fence. The rooms are housed in an old wooden building, and there's a common area, which offers plenty of table space, a TV, a shelfful of books, a tour desk, and two computer stations. It's where everyone hangs out, and where the free breakfast is served. The vibe is social, and the hostel is a good place to meet other travelers. There's a self-service refrigerator filled with cold beer and soft drinks, and several fans keep the temperature cool.
Location
In a quiet alley near the river and Khao San Road
Khaosan Baan Thai is located near the Chao Phraya River, and is a short walk to the Phra Athit ferry pier, which offers access to many of Bangkok's most popular tourist sights. The guesthouse is set in a quiet alley, with little traffic or noise. While it is a long way from the skytrain and subway, as well as the city center, there is still plenty to do in the neighborhood. Khao San Road, which has hundreds of eating and drinking spots, is a 10-minute walk away, as is Phra Athit Road.
