Jungles, temples, loud, chaotic cities and calm, secluded villages are a few of the things you will see and experience on this holiday to Thailand and Laos.

Eco-friendly, family-run boutique B&B ideally located for discovering the Thai Capital’s heritage district

Opened in 2005, Old Bangkok Inn is one of the city's first boutique guesthouses and arguably its homeliest place to stay. Thoughtfully converted from a 1940s shophouse, it sits on Rattanakosin Island in the middle of Bangkok's historic quarter and has been in the care of the owners' family for seven generations.

Stepping into the tearoom-esque lobby is to be transported into a somnolent but classy olde-worlde realm. Jazzy guitar music plays, ornate birdcages are from Chiang Mai, a Burmese cabinet reveals OBI-conceived scents: Jasmine, Rose, Lemongrass, Wild Rice and Lotus representing the five guestroom styles here. Doors, flooring and much of the structure came from Ayuthaya, Thailand’s ancient capital, now specialising in reclaimed teak from dismantled old Central Thai wooden houses. Drift around the corridors and you'll find hidden cabinets containing DVDs to borrow, a glass walkway directly under a roof skylight, to naturally light as much of the hotel as possible, and tree-root-like banisters.
