Sukhumvit 4 apartment with pool: A taste of rural Thailand in central Bangkok

March 20, 2015 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Sukhumvit 4 apartment with pool

Accommodation: Apartment in Soi Nana with pool.
Address: Off Sukhumvit 4, Bangkok, Thailand.

[Edit: This apartment is no longer available. Search for hotels in Bangkok.]

I’ve been using Airbnb for Bangkok accommodation as there is a good stock of apartment options to choose from. Half the fun of using Airbnb is discovering amazing accommodation experiences that you would never have with a hotel.

I booked this at the last minute (the night before I stayed) and the rate was listed at $49 USD per night. I selected this property because it was near where I was staying the night before and I needed another two nights in Bangkok. I didn’t want to waste time by moving across town again so I picked this place nearby. It turned out to be a great choice and one that I might not have otherwise picked.

This apartment as the end of Nana (or Sukhumvit 4), down a side soi, and then at the very end of another soi. On this last soi there is a big empty lot with a coconut tree and papaya growing on it. With just a couple of turns down a few alleys I went from the biggest party street in Bangkok to a little lane that feels like it’s in rural Thailand.

Quiet Soi

The apartment building is set on a property with a swimming pool and garden area. I booked a one bedroom apartment which had a separate kitchen and lounge room. I used the kitchen bench for a workspace.

Kitchen

The bedroom was spacious with windows on three walls.

Bedroom

The bathroom was clean and in good condition.

Bathroom

There is a small balcony attached to the lounge room which overlooks the garden and pool area.

Gazebo

On the boundary of the property is a canal, which was a surprise to me. I am familiar with some of the canals of Bangkok but I keep forgetting how many canals there are. If you are familiar with Bangkok the other side of the canal is the Tobacco Monopoly property.

Private Jetty

Overall this was a great place to stay. The property is a 15 minute walk from Nana BTS which is ok if you don’t need to come and go continually throughout the day. I loved having a pool and being in a little oasis in the middle of Bangkok was a nice break from staying on busy Bangkok streets.

If Airbnb isn’t your thing, then search for hotels in Bangkok. If you are new to Bangkok, then read my guide on where to stay in Bangkok.
