Area Info
The NakornPing Hotel is conveniently placed in the heart of Bangkok’s historical as well as the most acclaimed tourist region, from where all the hot spots can easily be travelled by just walking. The renowned Khaosan Road, comprising crowded market stalls, vibrant bars, and multi-ethnic restaurants, is only a 10-minute walk from the location. Adjacent to it, Rambuttri Alley is somewhat laid-back and a tad more genuine that makes it a great avenue for eating and shopping with that touch of the backpacker vibe. Despite being near many attractions, it stays in a calmer street so one can easily head there for a quiet night’s sleep.
The hotel is also an excellent base for cultural sightseeing. A 15-20 minute pleasant walk brings you major landmarks to the magnificent Wat Saket (The Golden Mount) offering views across the city. A little further walk or very short boat through a canal to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha). The beautiful Wat Bowonniwet , a major royal temple, is just a few minutes ’walk from the hotel.
For a traveler who wants to live like a local, the hotel’s nearness to the Khlong Saen Saep canal is quite an advantage. The Phanfa Leelard pier is only a 7-minute walk away. From here, tourists may take the canal express boat, a fast and extremely cheap mode of public transport that’s run’ by local people. This helps one escape all that traffic of Bangkok and reach the major shopping zones- Pratunam & Siam Square within just 15-20 mins. It’s an excitement which is uniquely Bangkok right at your door step.
