Questions
Before you book
Where exactly is The Elite @ Thong Lor 25?
We are at 21 Soi Saeng Ngoen, off Sukhumvit 55 in Watthana, Bangkok, the road everyone calls Thong Lor. BTS Thong Lo station is a short ride away, or about fifteen minutes on foot.
How many apartments are there, and how big are they?
There are seven apartments in the building and they are all identical. Each is 80 square metres with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private foyer, a separate living room, a dining area and a full kitchen. Whichever one you book, you get the apartment in the photographs.
What beds are in the bedrooms?
The master bedroom has one king bed, with a walk in closet and an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has one queen bed. Four guests are comfortable.
Is there a real kitchen?
Yes, a proper one. A full kitchen with a breakfast bar, a full sized fridge and freezer, a hob under an extractor, a kettle, and cookware, crockery and glasses to cook and eat at home. It is a kitchen, not a kitchenette with a microwave on a shelf.
Is there a washing machine?
Yes, a washing machine inside your own apartment.
Tell me about the rooftop pool.
It is a full length pool on the roof, with a lawn, planting, a shaded table and the Sukhumvit skyline over the wall. It is open from morning to evening and it is quiet on weekday mornings.
What is the minimum stay?
Two nights for most dates. A longer minimum applies over Songkran, Christmas and New Year, and it is shown on the booking page when you enter your dates.
Do you offer monthly rates?
Yes. Stays of 28 nights or more are priced on an all inclusive monthly rate, roughly twenty percent below the nightly rate, with electricity, water, WiFi and housekeeping included. There is no lease and no security deposit of the kind a Bangkok condo would ask for.
What time is check in and checkout?
Check in is from 14:00 and checkout is by 11:00. If you need to arrive earlier or leave later, ask us. We do it free whenever the apartment allows it, though we can only confirm that on the day, never in advance.
Is it cheaper to book direct?
You get the best rate we publish anywhere, and you pay no booking fee, so the number you see is the number you pay. Cancellation is free up to seven days before arrival on our flexible rates. Every stay after your first is ten percent off. And you are dealing directly with the people who own and run the building, which is what matters when something needs changing mid stay.
How do I pay?
Through our secure booking page by international credit or debit card, or by PromptPay if you are in Thailand. There is no booking fee.
Is housekeeping included?
Yes. Your apartment is cleaned every day and it is included in the rate. Most serviced apartments in Bangkok clean weekly. Long stay guests can ask for less frequent cleaning if they prefer.
Do you accept children?
Very much so. A cot is free on request, and the two bedroom layout with a kitchen, a washing machine and a pool is exactly why most of our families come back.
Can you help with an airport transfer?
Yes. We arrange a private car from Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang at a fixed price agreed in advance, so there is no meter and no haggling at the airport. It is charged, not included in the rate. Tell us your flight and we will have someone waiting.
What if my flight lands late and reception is closed?
Not a problem, and it is the question we are asked most. The desk is staffed 09:30 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours, and all weekend, the security guard on site checks you in and hands over your key. There is no extra charge and nothing to arrange beyond telling us roughly when to expect you.
Is there drinking water in the apartment?
Yes, drinking water is provided.
Can I leave my bags before check in or after checkout?
Yes. Reception holds luggage before check in and after checkout, so an early arrival or a late flight is never awkward.
Do you have another property?
Yes. The Elite @ Pattaya Villa is a modern two bedroom private pool villa near the beach at Bang Sare, run by the same team. Ask us about it, or see the Pattaya page on this site.
Is there a lift?
Yes. The lift serves every apartment floor. The rooftop pool is one flight of stairs above the eighth floor, so it is not step free. If that matters for your stay, tell us before you book and we will talk it through.
Do you allow pets?
Not at present. Please contact us before booking if this is important to you.
Can you invoice a company?
Yes. We issue company invoices for business and long stay bookings, and we work with relocation consultants on a standard referral commission.
