children's play area.

Tucked off busy Th Surawong, this classy
boutique hotel oozes with homey Thai charm - probably because the owners also live in
the same building. The 73 rooms are decked out in silk and dark woods with classy

and it's all cared for by a team of charming and professional staff. Highly recommended.
