The arithmetic
Why families stop booking hotels in Bangkok
A family of four in a Bangkok hotel either squeezes into one room with a rollaway bed, or books two rooms, doubles the bill and sleeps apart. Neither of those is a holiday.
Here you get eighty square metres, a king in one room and a queen in the other, two bathrooms so nobody queues at eight, and a kitchen for the meals children will not eat in a restaurant. The washing machine means you pack for four days instead of fourteen.
For four
What families actually use
- SleepsFour comfortably, in two proper bedrooms with doors
- CotFree on request
- KitchenFor early breakfasts, bottles, and the child who will only eat plain rice
- LaundryA washing machine in the apartment
- BathroomsTwo, so the morning is a schedule rather than an argument
- PoolOn the roof, quiet on weekday mornings, with steps into the shallow end
- LiftTo every apartment floor. The roof is one flight of stairs above the eighth, so a pram does not go up
- Drinking waterProvided in the apartment
03
Four in the afternoon on the roof. That hour is the difference between a good week in Bangkok and an exhausting one.
The afternoon problem
Bangkok in the middle of the day is not for walking
Which is why the pool matters more than it looks. Families come back at one, everyone eats something out of the kitchen, small children sleep behind a closed door, and at four the whole family goes up to the roof.
The neighbourhood
Thong Lor with children is easier than you think
- ParksBenjasiri and Benjakitti are a few BTS stops away, both with playgrounds and space to run before the heat arrives
- MallsEmSphere, Emquartier and Emporium sit two stations away with indoor play, cinemas, supermarkets and a pharmacy on every floor
- FoodJapanese, Italian, Thai and everything between. Ask for mai phet, not spicy, and almost any kitchen will oblige
- HospitalsSamitivej Sukhumvit and Bumrungrad are both minutes away, with paediatric departments used to international families
- SupermarketsVilla Market and Gourmet Market carry familiar brands, formula and nappies. The fresh market at the top of the soi handles the rest
- Getting aroundGrab and Bolt pick up at the gate, and motorbike taxis wait at the mouth of the soi all day
