Dear fellow travelers,

In an attempt to keep to the spirit of this forum, I have started compiling a list of what I (& others on this forum) deem to be the best small hotels in Bangkok - I will repost the list every so often, especially when I receive new recommendations. These destinations are less known, off the beaten track and therefore an absolute must for those of us who prefer personal service and charming settings to 5 star grandeur. I welcome any addition to the list, once I receive your recommendations I will post them and hopefully bring more attention to these lesser known gems.

First some basic guidelines.

- At least 4 star quality (but not necessarily 4 star price!)

- Tasteful and personal - preferably owned and operated by owner

- Not affiliated with large hotel chains

- Have no more than 20-30 rooms, here goes...

1. Old Bangkok Inn

number of rooms: 8

woulda thought so, nice websites though

Just checked out the website for the second hotel - Ibrik resort. Rates are 4000B or 3200B over the internet. Those seem like 4 star rates to me
