Looking for cozy accommodation with friendly hospitality in the heart of Bangkok? Look no further than Samsen 5 Lodge in the historic district of Bangkhunprom.
This single story, three-room guest house, which opened earlier this year, does not only offer its guests modern comforts, it also provides an insight into a more environmentally friendly form of lifestyle. Thanks to its floor to ceiling windows, each room is bathed in natural light, while the high ceilings improve the potential for natural ventilation.
Located in Soi Samsen 5, the guest house's biggest room is afforded plenty of natural light through windows facing the quiet soi. A small courtyard in the center is surrounded by all three rooms and while the largest room doesn't have a window looking out over the courtyard, the smaller rooms do. Cause for consideration
On arrival at Samsen 5 Lodge, guests receive some useful information about the 'green' ideals that underpin the concept. Members of staff point out that turning on lights during the daytime is unnecessary, particularly in public areas, such as the dining room and reading area. You'll also be encouraged to consider carefully whether or not you really need to switch on the air conditioner when residing in your room.
Despite these pointers and awareness-raising efforts, all Samsen 5 Lodge's rooms still include all the regular amenities you would expect, including a private refrigerated bar, an air conditioner, cable TV, a security deposit box, key card room access, along with free hi-speed Internet access. Asian influences
Samsen 5 Lodge includes lots of antique decorative items, including handmade craft items, such as Chinese-style, Indonesian-style and Thai wood crafts and paintings. The rooms feature fairly plain wooden cabinets, chairs and tables.
The guest house's three rooms differ both in terms of size and type.
The largest room features a king-sized bed and a long bench with cushions. The latter could possibly be utilized as an extra bed for accompanying children, if required.
The mid-sized room includes a
queen-sized bed, while the smallest room has a compact bed, which
nevertheless is just about big enough to accommodate a couple.
Samsen 5 Lodge is handily located just a few blocks from Banglamphu's
Khao Sarn Road. The neighborhood boasts both Thai and Chinese
influences – Chinese-style shop houses line Samsen Road, while older
examples of both Thai and Chinese-style homes a located deeper inside
the smaller sois located off the main thoroughfare. There are plenty of interesting food options,

dishes, such as Pad Thai ('Thai stir-fried noodles') and noodle soups.
