Cheap yet comfortable stay at the Holiday Home Rent Bangkok - Jan Tomas. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Our family stayed in the brand new 5 bedroom teak wood holiday home in Bangkok Taling Chan district. It's by Thanon Wongwan Rob Nok and by the Klong Bang Tal - 5 minutes drive to South Bus Terminal (towards Kanchanaburi, Cha Am, Hua Hin, Phuket, Krabi and Malaysia) on Thonburi & 15 minutes to Chao Phraya River, Khaosan Rd, the Old King's Palace & the Wat Pho. There is also a frequent bus to Suvarnabhumi Airport. Around are traditional houses with orchards, gardens, peace and clean air. Suit family with children and animals as the place is safe. A much better option of staying in Bangkok than the town centre, with its noise, pollution, traffic jams and crowds of tourists. In a Taling Chan home-stay you will immerse yourself in a traditional lifestyle and learn a little bit about Thai culture and customs. Walks through the fruit orchards and flower groves make a very challenging experience. You can feel here like living in the traditional Thai village - yet 5 minutes walk is 7/11 shop, cash machine and a daily street market. A short ride there is a famous traditional Thai floating market in Taling Chan by the Chakphra Canal. There are several nice homestays in that area - old Thai teak wood houses on stilts just overlooking slowly moving canals. You are in the middle of verdant and vast, lush gardens.
