3 lovely apartments tucked, like small summer houses, in the verdant grounds of an aristocratic residence right on the river

Forgive the ever-so dahlingness of the phrase, but this simply is THE place to stay in Bangkok! Right in the heart of the city, with skyscraping condos and aquatic shanty towns and traffic-clogged avenues stretching for miles in every direction, lies an oasis of calm. Leafy gardens, tall palms, colourful frangipanis, raised wooden decks and a flower-ringed swimming pool usher you into a distant dream world. But the view from the floating pavilion is pure Bangkok: across the Chao Phraya’s busy waters, Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn) and Wat Kalayanamirt flank, like exotic spaceships, the fortress of Vichai Prasit.

This oasis is the 100-year-old residence of Prince Chakrabong, who was 40th son of the prolific King Rama V; it now belongs to his granddaughter Narisa. At the end of its gardens are some lovely little Thai-style cottages, offering 3 independent studio apartments to lucky visitors. Whether you’re a romantic couple, a discerning group of friends or a family looking for a home from home, it’s a real privilege to stay here.
