A long day

An early rise as I drag myself to the airport about 6am Sat morning It'll be another 24hrs before I'm in Bangkok as there's nearly a 7hr Sydney stopover... it's going to be a long day! Checkin is a breeze, though the guy tells me I can't leave Sydney airport without my bags. I take the risk and check them all the way through to Bangkok. No issues with passport control or customs in Sydney as I exit with a day pack.... phew! Manly and the beach are calling. It's a beautiful day with a chilly b...

Bangkok sights

A little fuzzy after such little sleep I drag myself out of bed and head off to a little B&B for breakfast. It's where my roomate, Enid, was staying before the hotel and they greet her like an old friend. 9:30am and I'm meeting the others - 3 guys and our tour leader is a Thai gal. After I get all the paperwork sorted and find a money changer for the local payment, it's off to explore the city as a group. Most of what we're doing I've already done on a work trip, but best to be sociable o...

Back to Bangkok - Ayuthaya

We may travel east or west, as Phuket is now of the list. Not sure yet. Ayuthaya About 85km north of Bangkok, lies the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thailand's old capital, Ayuthaya (current population 62,100). The capital was transferred from U Thong to Ayutha in 1350 and lasted until 1767. Accounts say it was a splendid period during this time - prior to that it was a Khmer outpost. The city was named for Ayodhya (Sanskrit for 'unassailable' or 'undefeatable'), the home of Rama in the India...

Bangkok

Life in Thailand's capital Bangkok is chaotic and busy but offers so much for its visitors. This is an attractive place to shop due to a strong exchange against the Thai Baht and there are temples and giant Buddas all over the city. There is always activity in the streets with markets generally selling local produce during the day and clothes, jewellery and souvenirs in the afternoon and evening. The city is the capital and largest urban area of Thailand. Once a small trading post, the locati...

Arrival in Bangkok

Well we've made it to Bangkok, despite the best efforts of a bomb scare at Heathrow, and the luggage people taking an extra hour to load the plane. We got here yesterday afternoon and made it out for a few beers - in fact my lovely husband made it out for most of the night to watch th England game (with that dreadful result I bet he wishes he'd stayed in bed now!) Have slept most of today to catch up, but we are out and about now, and off to do some exploring and visit the travel agents. Its ...

Bangkok again. Back to civilisation!

Hi All We had a good night in Trat at our very cheap guest house, and got up and breakfasted leisurely the next morning (30th Nov). We then got taxis to the bus station which yet again involved getting on the back of motorbikes (scooters) with our large rucksacks on our backs, our day sacks on our fronts and I was also holding a carrier bag containing a wood sculpture we had bought in Siem Reap and our all-important mosquito killing tennis racket. Its not easy balancing on the back of a motor...

Back to Stinky Bangkok with 9 new friends!

Wow is all I can say for the last 8 days of my Thailand trip! As usual a short blog update will not do it justice but I will try to fill you in on as much as I can remember!!! The trip started with meeting all the other people on the tour - one moment stood out when the Northern Irish guy, Garth, introduced himself as "Hi i'm Garth, and I'm drunk" - he was also wearing a hat that cannot be described but had pom poms and bells on it... Followed by a fantastic dinner and a good night's sleep in...

back to Bangers and a trip to the hairdresser

On arrival into Bangkok we were greeted with humidity and smog but most of us were happy to be back. We caught some cabs back to the Viengtai hotel - our cab had a busted boot that wouldnt close - Laura and I kept looking behind us making sure our backpacks hadnt been tossed onto the road behind by his driving! We said our goodbyes to each other as everyone was moving onto something else or heading home. My flight wasnt til much later in the day so i went and had a massage followed by a hair ...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Viengtai Hotel Near Khao Sarn Bangkok

Our Kids Love The Viengtai

from phred7
We really enjoyed our stay at the Viengtai. We have a 5 year old and 15 month and the staff was so nice and friendly to our children. They were very quick to tell us that they could cook anything for the children and it didn't have to be on the menu. The room sevice was quick, tasty, and cheap and when you have kids that are hungry right now it was perfect. We stayed our first night in one of their budget rooms which was ok - after that we stayed in a suite which was lovely. We will stay with the Viengtai again during our next visit.

Very reasonable rates, excellent location

from ScubaSuzy
My husband and I stayed at the Viengtai Hotel in January 2004. We found it to be very comfortable and the location was great. Really close to Khao San Road without all the noise. There is also a fantastic little restaurant across the street.

No complaints

from A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed here for about 4 nights at the beginning of a 3-week trip through Thailand in 2001. The hotel made a good first impression on me by arranging for an airport limo on short notice. However, my traveling companion arrived a day late to meet me in Bangkok and when she got to the hotel the front desk told her I wasn't there because they had misfiled my registration card. We found each other the next day with a couple of phone calls to the front desk. They didn't charge her for the extra room she had to get her first night there because of the mixup. The breakfast was good, the rooms were nice and air conditioned, and with cable TV. Because there aren't many decent hotels in the Ko San Road area, I was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of this hotel.

1 night stay

from A TripAdvisor Member
Arrived without a booking and were shown straight to a double room. Paid about £20 for the room but would have been cheaper if we had done it in advance. Excellent location for Khao San Road (but just round the corner to a bit quieter). We were on 5th floor so again even further away from the noise below.

Quite a large sized clean room with en-suite. Very low roof in the bathroom so avoid showers if you are really tall! Im only 5'3" and it was awkward for me.

Only stayed the one night so didnt use any of their facilities except the breakfast room. Good selection of buffet food, your usual fry up, cereal and toast etc plus Thai meat and noodle dishes.

Friendly and efficient staff.

Great value, if you reserve on-line 3 days ahead

from A TripAdvisor Member
We booked directly with the hotel via ----- website, which links to the Viengtai Hotel. This is definitely NOT a guesthouse, but a good sturdy hotel - incidentally, INTREPID tours uses this as a base in Bangkok.

We got a rate of 1200baht as we had reserved ahead, for a double room. Good, adequate accomodations with aircon, but with a Bangkok bathroom, which we came to understand comes automatically with black mold in the bathtub tile (we stayed at a more expensive place, the First Hotel in Pratunam, which had the same problem).

A fellow we met up with on the flight came with us to find a room, and he was offered a rate of 1800baht off the street - so BOOK AHEAD!

This is a great area to use as a base to arrange travel out of Bangkok. We got visas and tickets for Vietnam from here - a good spot to use as base camp for a couple of days.

Decent, not great

from A TripAdvisor Member
The Viengtai Hotel has a great location, since it is about a 1 minute walk from Khao San Road. But for a mid-priced hotel in Bangkok, it isn't all that clean nor all that nice. They give you free breakfast but that isn't the best food, either. The shower needed to be de-moulded and re-tiled quite badly. But by British or American standards, the hotel is extremely cheap. If you want a moderately-priced hotel that you can book in advance, go with this one, but I also recommend the bed and breakfast across the street.

Nice hotel, good location

from A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed at the Vengtai in October 04. For the money this hotel can't be beaten. Officially they won the best hostel in Thailand 2002 which confused me as there is no way you would confuse this place with a hostel. It is definitely a 3 star hotel. Their rooms were all clean and of a higher standard than many I have stayed in at home. All rooms were air conditioned which no-one should be without in Bangkok.

Location wise it is only 200 mtrs from Koa Shan Rd and surrounded by small restaurants. The Royal Palace, National Museum and reclining Buddha are all within easy walking distance.

Great Hotel and location

from A TripAdvisor Member
Myself and my my parents stayed in this hotel and we were very impressed. It was a lovely haven form the madness of Bangkok and really comfortable with great air conditioning and a fabulous breakfast. The only thing was it was ages away from the airport so leave yourself plenty of time to get to and from there although its a prime location for seeing the sights.

Great Hotel.

Have stayed here several times

from Lem1
I have stayed at this hotel several years in a row and I love it. Rooms are clean and comfortable with cold A/C, nice tub/showers. It can be a bit noisey at night but that happens all over the city. It is a few minutes walk to the backpackers area of Khao San Rd but it is quieter here which is why I enjoy it. There are also several nice massage /salons a few doors down as well as some bookstores and laundry and bars and restaurants. I think the buffet breakfast is above average (definitely get there early) and the staff is always quite helpful. I think I paid around 40.00 USD in October 2003 booking direct at hotel.

Great budget hotel

from matthew
stayed here in nov 2003 as a place to sleep for 6 nights. payed about £12.00 per night from the net (their own site) and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and size of the room. Asian staff are always welcoming in world-class hotels anyway but this was a budget hotel and the staff were most polite but not overwhelming.

Buffet breakfast (included) was good if you got there before 9 a.m. (we rarely did) and hotel is in an excellent location for old Bangkok. plenty of backpackers as you would expect but so what.

Being updated while we were there (new resturant/bar with loads of marble by the looks of it) but not really inconvenient to us.

About 40 minutes from airport and unless you want world-class accommodation, this a great place to stay.
