Chakrabongse Villas, Bangkok

In the crazy, cement jungle of Old Bangkok, stands an oasis called the Chakrabongse Villas. Tucked away in the Chao Phya River region, this place used to be the residence of Prince Chakrabong. The guests can choose from three beautiful Ayutthaya-styled cottage accommodations; the Riverside Villa, the Garden Suite or the Thai House. All villas have kitchenettes, gardens and a private balcony, and the place on the whole is leafy, with tall palms, a pool and flowers everywhere. Each room is majestic in itself because of the plush beds, polished floors, dark wood furniture, silk cushions and Thai decorations. Please visit the website for details.
