The Theater Residence, Bangkok

The Theater Residence is located in the Thonburi district. It took about 50 minutes by a Grab (SE Asia Uber) to get there. It only cost me about $15 USD.

Check in is at 12, but I arrived at 8:30 am and I was able to get in to my room at 10. It’s a Beautiful hotel, you walk into a covered but open air lobby with water canals surrounding it and a great view of the pool and courtyard. There is a smoking section off the lobby.

It lives up to its four star rating with large rooms, good water pressure, shampoo and lotions available, a safe in room, slippers and robes. There is a Refrigerator with drinks to purchase and microwave and snacks to purchase (you pay at the end of your stay). Some rooms have small balconies, including mine. The first thing I did was turn on the air conditioning which works really well, and then shower in a very luxurious rain shower.

The Pool is open 7-7.

Room service opens at 11:00am.

Multiple types of in room massage available- Thai massage 60 minutes is 900 baht (26 dollars) and you pay at end of stay. I booked a Thai massage for my low back after all those long flights and it was so amazing.

You can get large bills exchanged for small bills at the front desk which is helpful. The 7eleven down the road has a minimum of a 200 baht purchase on cards. There is Thai only tv channels, but the tv has the youtube app.

Breakfast is across the street at Theater Riverside from 6:30am to 10:30am with views of the river. I missed it this morning but will go tomorrow.

Local attractions include: Chao phraya river, wanglang pier, wat rakang, wat arun, guan yu Chinese temple, tonmakok restaurant, somdet to memorial, song thao kao doen market, wang lang market, khlong food on a longboat tour, royal barges museum, and more.

Tomorrow I’ll know if it’s loud here at night and can update where we went for activities and dinner in the Thonburi district.
