    The location near Chinatown is incredibly convenient. Additionally, we were permitted to store our luggage at the cafe until 6 PM on our departure day. Staff was friendly. If you are backpackers looking for a simple down-to-earth budget...

Company information

Hi, My name is Snehal, I have been living in Thailand for several years. I am interested in art, local culture and the city itself. I believe the city has a lot to offer and a lot to be discovered!

Property information

I renovated this old traditional shop house using inspiration from a Thai-Chinese living style. I converted this old shop house into a multi-unit living space but kept its soul while modernizing it. The space was designed with a shared seating area and cafe on the ground floor, access to our wonderful roof top and converted space to be more green. Each room has been decorated differently by its contexts. I also used unique collectibles and furniture in rooms and common space to provide the experience to "Live Local".

Neighbourhood information

Our location is in the residential side of Chinatown which is only 350 m from the famous Yaowarat road which is busy day and night. You can walk to most of the interesting areas of Chinatown within 5-10 minutes.
