BANGKOK 2019: AIRBNB is KING


One of My Travelmates, Melvin Abenes took the liberty of taking a picture of the front of the condominium
In my third trip to Bangkok this year I got the chance to provide the itinerary of the trip, look for a suitable accommodation and find places to eat authentic Thai cuisine. First order of business was to find a suitable place for us seven people that is affordable and not hassle free when it comes to transportation. This time I tried the Airbnb condos of Bangkok and i was happy I was able to book us at this nice place - Belle Rama Condominium. 


The Belle Lobby
Since we already paid in full our stay, the owner of the Condo unit met us at the lobby to give the keys. At the lobby there is a 7-11 and a mall where you can eat food at an affordable price.





Since the accommodation we paid for was for the room we brought along some canned goods for breakfast and they have complete kitchenware items (minus the rice cooker) including a washing machine. The area can accommodate four to eight people maximum.



Here is the sala where the owner also put one bed plus a couch bed and beddings for the one who will sleep on the floor. Four people can stay in this sala.

This is the master's bedroom with a view. A couple can stay here but since i paid a bigger amount I took this room for myself. It also has its own bathroom and nice view of the King of Thailand outside.


This is the other room and as you can see another two people can sleep in this room. It has a cabinet but no comfort room. Also, if you are going out you can ride their shuttle for free to the nearest MTR station.

Here they have a table with enough seats plus plates, utensils and glasses that you can use when you eat.


For our breakfast and other meals, we cooked our meal as seen by my companion. There is also a swimming pool if you are interested to swim. Over-all it was a great stay at this Airbnb. If you are a group do look it up since it has other tenants who allow their rooms to be rented for one to four days. We stayed here for four nights.
