One of the most convenient and relaxing mini getaways from the bustling city just over the river! Have been coming here for years. The family owners live next door and are down-to-earth good people. They have two villas for rent, a 2-bedroom and a 3-bedroom. Both have mini kitchens and large refrigerators. Mini bar is full of delicious craft spirits and there are cold local beers in the fridge. (Everything very fairly priced.) ☺️The 3-bedroom villa has a 1/2 bath attached to the kitchen/common area and the bedroom upstairs has a gorgeous view. Both villas have cozy seating areas each overlooking a beautifully appointed garden-rimmed private pool. There are a couple bicycles to use for free to check out the "Bangkok Lung". Note: to those not familiar with Bangkok, there's only one small bridge onto and off the island. By car, it takes about an hour (depending on traffic) to get into the city. If you take one of the many ferries, you can cross in under 30. But why would you want to leave! Bangkrachao is such a unique and interesting island with lots to explore. You feel like you are several hundred kilometers away from the city. There are some great Thai restaurants that the owners will happily recommend. My friends and I are already looking forward to our next mini getaway after the new year! Book now or I might just take that...
Read moreA hidden gem not far from the center of Bangkok. It was just a short taxi ride away, but it feels like you are in a beautiful Thai countryside surrounded by nature. We checked in on a Friday and were in the relaxing pool less than an hour after leaving work - a nice change from having to drive hours to get to a pool villa! On the first night we ordered delicious homemade fish and chips cooked by the friendly couple that own the property. On the second night we prepared our own food and had a bbq next to the pool. During the day the owner let us borrow a scooter to go explore Bang Krajao. The Botanical Garden and Bang Namphueng floating market are just 10 minutes away and were well worth the day trip. We definitely plan to stay again to explore other parts...
