DO DEE CAFE, Bangkok

Do Dee Cafe sits in the Phasi Charoen district, about 7 km from Wat Arun and 8 km from the Grand Palace. The property is surrounded by nature but within easy reach of the city: Bang Wa MRT station is a 10- to 15-minute walk away, with taxis and Grab also available from the doorstep. A 7-Eleven is just 2 minutes away, and Siam University (with budget food options) is nearby. Don Mueang International Airport is 35 km away - allow at least 45 minutes by car or taxi. The neighbourhood has a country-style feel with canals and local street food stalls, making it a practical base for travellers who want a peaceful retreat without being completely cut off from transport links.

Accommodation ranges from basic tents with fans to air-conditioned bungalows and chalets with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and garden-view terraces. Many units include a washing machine, seating area, and dining space. Some bungalows offer shared bathrooms (shower, bidet) while others - such as Anto House, Ban Caroline, and Ban Yai Pom - have en-suite bathrooms. Ground-floor rooms are available, as are units with balconies or patios. All bedding and towels are provided. Rooms tend to be simple and functional; the cheaper options are very basic with just a mattress and mosquito net. Noise from the road or neighbouring rooms can occasionally be an issue, so light sleepers may prefer a bungalow further from the parking area.

The property's restaurant offers a menu of local dishes and drinks, with many visitors highlighting the Pad Thai and Thai iced coffee. The kitchen is open until 8pm daily, and room service is available. Breakfast (continental and Thai options) costs an additional 100 THB and is served from the cafe. For self-caterers, there is a shared fridge, a kitchen area for guest use, and a minimarket on site. A 7-Eleven is a short walk away, and street food stalls can be found near the MRT station. The bar serves beer and cocktails, and the coffee shop prepares fresh coffee throughout the day.

The property includes a small fitness room, an open-air bath, and a swimming pool that is sometimes filled (check availability before booking if swimming is a priority). The large garden features hammocks, a sun terrace, a picnic area, an outdoor fireplace, and barbecue facilities - ideal for relaxing. Bicycle hire costs 20 THB per day, and there is a hairdresser/beautician on site. The outdoor spaces are spread across several levels around a large tree, creating a peaceful, nature-focused atmosphere. Kids' outdoor play equipment is available for families.

Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Parking is free and private, with no reservation needed, and accessible parking is provided. Laundry service is offered for an extra charge. There is no formal luggage storage, but bags can be left at the office for safekeeping (no lock rental available, but staff can hold items). Other services include a minimarket on site, a barber/beauty shop, fax/photocopying, packed lunches, room service, and a coffee shop. Safety features include CCTV in common areas, fire extinguishers, and key-card access. The property is pet-friendly with an additional nightly fee. Family rooms are available, and cots can be provided on request.
