Overview
Wooden houses have become rare in central Bangkok, and Green Teak House is built in that traditional Thai style, with teak throughout and warm interiors. The rooms themselves are modern and air-conditioned, so the character doesn't come at the cost of a cool night's sleep.
It's a small guesthouse rather than a full-service hotel, and it suits slow travellers who want to walk to the main temples and spend the afternoons somewhere quiet.
Highlights
- Traditional teak building
- Air-conditioned rooms
- Minutes from Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace
- Old Town and riverside sights within walking range
- Small, low-key guesthouse
Location
The guesthouse is in the Old Town, and the property puts the Temple of the Emerald Buddha just a few minutes away. The Grand Palace shares that walled compound, and the riverside attractions are close as well.
There's no Skytrain in this part of the city, so the Chao Phraya Express Boat and taxis are the usual way to reach Siam or Sukhumvit.
Good to know
- The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew have a dress code: cover shoulders and knees.
- No pool or restaurant is listed.
