Overview
Most visitors never cross the Chao Phraya to sleep, which is exactly why The HOG may appeal. It sits in Bangkok Yai, a mainly residential district on the Thonburi bank, where everyday neighbourhood life is closer than the tour groups.
The property is small and leans social. It has a garden for a slow morning, a shared lounge where guests tend to meet, and city views from some of its private and communal spaces. Interiors are described as modern.
Highlights
- Garden for morning downtime
- Shared lounge for meeting other travellers
- City views from some rooms and common areas
- Residential Bangkok Yai setting
- Across the river from the Old Town
Location
Bangkok Yai lies on the west bank, south of Bangkok Noi and a short distance from Wat Arun. Cross-river ferries and the MRT Blue Line connect this side of the river with the Grand Palace area and Chinatown.
The old page gives no street address or distances, so check the map pin before you book.
Good to know
- Evenings in Bangkok Yai are quieter than on the east bank; nightlife means a ride across the river.
- Only some spaces are described as having views.
