the anonymous house is a rare and unique example of thai houses, built at the turn of the 20th century, it was built completely from golden teak wood. The original owner, a police colonel, wanted his home in the new area of bangkok, with running tramways and electricity, so he built this house on a quiet street just off Silom road. little did he know that his house would one day be in the heart of bangkok.
the house, with its high ceiling allows for air circulation. windows open out for maximum air flow, but once closed also shut out most of the light. during world war 2, the colonel added a bomb shelter, as bangkok was under the bombardment from the japanese imperial army. you can visit this bomb shelter during your stay.
during the renovation, we maintained all the original structures of the house. most of the furniture that was salvageable, are today reused. the murals of thai goddesses and various traditional thai sceneries were cleaned and preserved. we added modern comforts such as a swimming pool and air conditioning, but when you step into the house, you are really stepping into a part of thai history. something rarely offered anywhere else in bangkok.
we have amassed many antique and art pieces at the house. we aim for this house to be an inspiration for art, while guaranteeing complete privacy. original 19th and 20th centuries maps and paintings are scattered around the property, as well as original modern art works from up and coming thai artists.

The anonymous house has 2 levels.
the colonel suite is on the ground floor. currently the 2nd floor is closed for conservation. when you stay with us, you will be the only guests at the property. staying here means you have the entire home and its verandas for your private and personal enjoyment. given that guests have the property to themselves, they are encouraged to spend time as they wish, relaxing in the plunge pool (depth 70cm) or lounging around the many terraces.

During the conservation/renovation, we decided to retain as much as possible the original characteristics of the house. Our idea was to reflect how Thai people really lived 100 years ago. we added modern touches like an air conditioning system, hot water and modern conveniences, but as this is an old wooden house, it comes with certain qualities. please come with an open mind that you are staying in a home that is a century old. please don’t expect this to be a hotel, but rather an exciting experience to relive history. here are a few things you should know:

ELECTRICITY IS PAYED BY GUEST AND USAGE. 6 thb per unit and charged upon check out.

1) the wood floor will creak (so please walk lightly) and the wooden panels that divide rooms will not keep out all the noises. if you are a light sleeper, please note this fact. and please also be kind to your travel companions whether they are next door to you, above you or under you (if you are traveling in group).
If we are considerate, the noise insulation panels that we added should do their jobs just fine. luckily enough, the house is set in a quiet street. you will hardly believe that you are staying in the heart of bangkok, 2 minute walk to silom road.
2) the high ceiling allows for ventilation. During the conservation we decided to close this cross draft with frosted glass to allow for air-conditioning system. With no curtain, the rooms will not be completely dark. for some, this might bother their sleep, but we personally did not find this a huge issue.
3) air conditioning system is new and has more than enough capacity to cool your rooms. however, as the walls are all wood, please note that cool air will always creep out and the rooms may not be as cool as you would experience in a modern home. Please close all windows and doors while using air-conditioning and set temperature to no lower than 22C. below this the air con units will ice up and stop working.
3.1) please switch off the air conditioning when not in use. Help us conserve energy consumption. We might as well help the world heals.
4) bangkok is a tropical city. Even though our home is in the heart of the city; being a house on the ground, you will have many friends, from snails, toads, mosquitoes to cockroaches. We do quarterly pest control, but being a wooden house on land with gardens we cannot always keep everything out.
after 5pm, please keep the windows shut to avoid having mosquitoes as your night pets. Avoid leaving food and left over outside as this is an invitation for ants and cockroaches.
4.1) there are many cats in the neighbourhood. they may look cute, but please know that they will not hesitate to pee on your bed given the chance. keep all the doors and windows closed when not in used. bring your shoes inside the house at night.
5) as the house is made from wood, candles, cigarettes and anything flammable are not allowed. smoking is permitted, however, in a designated area.
6) complimentary cleaning is provided on the 4th day of your stay. towels and bedsheets are changed on the 5th day of your stay.
7) food and drinks inside the house are complimentary
8) filtered water in glass bottles are provided in room. together, let’s do the little things we can to safe the environment. The water is safe and clean. During your stay, we will be happy to fill your water bottles for your day trip. We try to have minimal plastic in our house.
9) laundry service is provided at extra charge. please contact us for details.

apart from that, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on how we can make your stay an enjoyable one
