NEW SIAM III GUEST HOUSE, Bangkok

New Siam III is set on Rambuttri Road, a pedestrian-friendly street filled with bars, restaurants, and market stalls, yet the rooms are quiet enough for rest. Bangkok National Museum is 12 minutes away on foot, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is 2 km, and the Grand Palace is 2 km. The Phra Arthit pier for river boats is a 3-minute walk, and bus stops for S1 and S4 airport shuttles are 100 metres away. The nearest MRT station is Sanamchai, a short taxi ride (60-70 THB). No parking is available on site.

The guesthouse offers double, twin, and triple rooms (three single beds), all with private bathrooms (walk-in shower in some), air conditioning, a ceiling fan, TV with cable channels, fridge, tea and coffee maker, wardrobe, safe deposit box, and free toiletries. Family rooms are available. Rooms on higher floors are quieter. Some rooms include a balcony overlooking the street. Twin rooms on the ground and second floor can be requested by those with difficulty climbing stairs. The property has a tall, steep staircase - no lift - but does have a luggage lift for bags. Room cleaning is provided daily before 14:00. While basic, the rooms offer good value for a central location.

The guesthouse does not have its own full restaurant, but there is a coffee shop attached at the front which serves food. Breakfast is available for an additional charge of 189 THB. The surrounding area on Rambuttri Road and Khao San Road is packed with restaurants, bars, and street food - within 300 metres you'll find options like PEEPS Thai Eatery, Nai Soi Noodle, Santi Indian Restaurant, and Gecko Bar. Many travellers eat out in the lively nearby streets.

New Siam III does not have its own swimming pool or spa, but guests can use the pool at another New Siam hotel by contacting the front desk. The property offers a sun terrace, garden, outdoor fireplace, and picnic area. For activities, bike tours, cooking classes, and local culture tours are available for an additional charge.
