ARUN RESIDENCE — Hotel in Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict

Arun Residences is a hidden boutique style hotel with incredible views of Wat Arun. Stayed in the Arun Suite overlooking the Chao Phraya River for Loy Krathong. Arun Residence has two restaurants with full service and bars to relax in. The upstairs deck gets crowded for sunsets and photo ops.

Have been to Bangkok a few times, and by far the best stay experience I’ve had. Large windows in our room open up to stellar views of Wat Arun directly across the river, especially when the temple is lit up at night. Balcony and rooftop are also both great places for viewing the sunset while enjoying dinner and drinks. Clean and cozy rooms, impeccable service (including in-room breakfast), and also a convenient location to exploring...
