Ariyasom Villa

Bangkok, Thailand

Ariyasom Villa is located in the heart of Sukhumvit District at the end of a quiet soi (street). Attractive tropical gardens surround this traditional Thai residence, which has been passed down through generations of the same family for nearly 70 years. The charming, friendly owners live upstairs and are welcoming hosts, ensuring that their guests are made to feel at home.

Rooms are well appointed and tastefully designed, offering a modern feel alongside characterful touches that fit nicely with the rest of the property. Boutique in size and style, the property has an intimate and relaxing atmosphere that contrasts well with the bustling streets of Bangkok.

OUR OPINION:

This is a wonderful option for those looking to explore the city while having a relaxing escape at the end of a long day. We particularly like the traditional Thai atmosphere, as well as the beautifully appointed rooms.

Meanwhile, Executive Suites are set on two levels and offer garden, canal or pool views as well as a living area and traditional four-poster beds.

Its quiet location away from the busy main road allows it to offer a peaceful sanctuary in the sprawling expanse of Bangkok.
