Elephant Village

I booked this hotel for the Boudour 1920s Shanghai experience, in Chinatown in the heat of Bangkok. An unusual experience—yes indeed, however totally worth it. I tend to stay in hotel groups, so this boutique hotel was a risk for me that 100% paid off. The room, amenities, and staff were top-notch. The small things count—high-quality products from their spa in the bathroom, the free boat tour for guests, and finally the little charm bracelet when we checked out were what made this hotel special. I stayed for 4 nights, yet I must admit 2 would have been plenty, as I prefer not to be in the chaos of the city—to be fair though, you could not hear the city life inside the hotel, and the quests were respectful considering we were in the centre. Definitely a place for couples – I doubt children would appreciate the dim lighting and 1920s tapestry feel. For me, it was exactly as I had hoped. A 4-star hotel that is different. Clean, safe (female traveller with teen daughter), designer and conveniently located next to Song Wat. A special shout out to Nice / Rit / Mok for making it a special stay. Thank you
