I stayed in the Chinese Suite, which has a terrace with views of The Temple of the Dawn and the swimming pool and direct access to the pool and gardens. The room was exceptional, 5 star time, and the maid who looked after me was very sweet. There was a villas manager and she arranged cars and boats (the villa... more

Stayed for 1 night in the Garden Suite just before Christmas and wished we had been able to stay longer. The property is really one of a kind and our stay was perfect in every way. We picked the Villas since we had only one day in Bangkok and wanted to see Wat Po and The Grand Palace. The Villas... more

Between March 9th-14th, 2008 we stayed at the outstanding Chakrabongse Thai Villas in Bangkok, on a Thai prince's private estate near Wat Po and the Tha Thien express boat stop. This estate has four private luxury lodgings set in a "secret garden" with a wonderful private pool that is available 24 hours a day, access to private boats, and a... more

Staying in this little shangri-la made our trip to Bangkok a special experience. We stayed for 2 weeks and stayed in the Garden View suite and the Riverview Suite. The staff was very helpful (especially Atom, whom spoke excellent English). The villas were beautiful and the complex very private. It was like having your own private villa. They served the... more

Having stayed in Bangkok a few times before, I wanted to find somewhere a little different, and was certainly not disappointed here. The setting by the river, in beatiful gardens, and with only three guest rooms, is luxurious and relaxing. I stayed in the Thai Villa, which meant there was no view, but it is an independent building, affording even... more

We stayed in the Thai House, which was perfect and the grounds were gorgeous, but at night there were extremely loud frogs that kept us awake all night (even with earplugs). Call ahead to make sure the frogs won't be loud! Breakfast is served right on the river looking at Wat Arun, beautiful. Another problem is the boats stop at... more

I chose Chakrabongse I having read a write-up in Wanderlust travel magazine. Admittedly I can't be certain this is the best place to stay in Bangkok (having never been to the city before!) but find it hard to believe that there is anywhere as peaceful, as well situated, as nicely decorated or with such helpful staff. Of course if you... more

I spent two weeks in Thailand and this was by far the most welcoming, beautiful setting. I stayed in the Garden Suite, and was very impressed. The setting is magnificent on the Chao Praya River, and the staff and accommodations are top-notch. more

Chakrabongse Villas are three separate buildings in a magnificent setting on the river in Bangkok. Stayed in the River Villa---beautiful view of the Temple of the Dawn and of the longtail boats on the river. Breakfast is served in a building by the river and is beautifully presented. The pool area is lovely and the grounds are well maintained. If... more
