So what next? Tour hotels. When you start touring hotels you know you\u2019re a travel geek. I did some research and asked a few locals for suggestions and here are some of the most unique hotels in Bangkok.<\/p>\n<h3>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bangkoktreehouse.com\/index.php\">Bangkok Tree House Hotel<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The hotel\u2019s website is straight forward and blunt \u201cThe Tree House is not for everyone. For your sake and ours, please read on to find out whether you and the Tree House are a compatible match. We won\u2019t, don\u2019t, can\u2019t fumigate the area to get rid of insects and other local species. As we are in tropical country, we do have mosquitoes but the gentle river breeze helps makes insects less of a problem.\u201d I love that they\u2019re up front about what you\u2019re going to get. You might think their rooms, or \u201cnests\u201d as they call them are a joke \u2013 but they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel has a \u201cView with a Room\u201d nest \u2013 a completely open air room 23 feet above the ground.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4521\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4521\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4521\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/06\/view-with-a-room-grid.jpg\" alt=\"view-with-a-room-grid\" width=\"490\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/06\/view-with-a-room-grid.jpg 490w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/06\/view-with-a-room-grid-201x300.jpg 201w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/06\/view-with-a-room-grid-228x341.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright: Bangkok Tree House<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The \u201cFamily Nest\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This nest has\u00a0three rooms a bedroom, a living room area (which can sleep two) and a large bathroom. The rooftops of the Family Nest are green and can serve as outdoor patios.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBeehive Nest\u201d \u2013 this is a three level room and the theme is an ode to bees. It sleep up to three people and also has a rooftop patio. They also have rooms inspired by ants and butterflies.<\/p>\n<p>The next nest is perhaps the most unbelievable. The \u201cRiver Nest\u201d is a floating bed. Yep, that\u2019s it, a floating bed. The hotel\u2019s website says \u201cIt\u2019s a unique but simple concept, float a bed on the gentle river and sleep there for the night. The tides rock you to sleep and the morning sun rise is your alarm clock.\u201d The website notes that room availability is depends on tidal season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.phranakorn-nornlen.com\/\">The Phra-nakorn Norn-Len<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This hotel is self-described as a family-friendly vintage guest house. The website home page is chaotic and confusing, but at the same time intriguing and made me want to see it.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel uses words like \u201cvintage,\u201d \u201cunique,\u201d \u201cboutique\u201d and \u201cfunky\u201d to describe itself and that it is. The hotel is also pretty green and tries to fit into the surrounding community. They offer single, double and family type rooms and rooms sleep between 2 \u2013 4 people. Prices are very reasonable and range from 2200 baht for a double room to 3600 baht a night for the family room. The hotel is very open and airy and highly landscaped. I spoke to an American couple at the hotel and they said that the rooms were very clean, small but livable and the staff was very warm. The hotel has a restaurant that uses vegetables and herbs grown directly on their own rooftop. The hotel is very close to the Grand Palace and Chinatown.<\/p>\n<h3>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dreamhotels.com\/hotels\/thailand\/bangkok\/dream-hotel-bangkok\/hotel-overview\">Dream Hotel Bangkok<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Talk about a moody hotel\u2026the Dream Hotel uses lighting to alter or change a guests mood and experience. The hotel is defiantly avant-garde and reminded me a little of a W hotel \u2013 but with more glow-in-the-dark, florescent lighting and tons of blue.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel participates in the Wyndham rewards program, so you can earn points while you Dream. I\u2019m not sure how anyone could actually dream though with all the blue mood lighting. The hotel is on busy Sukhumvit road just behind the Westin Grand Sukhumvit. That means it\u2019s close to the SkyTrain, shopping and nightlife. The hotel is a little too trendy for me, and I like the W\u2026so just imagine.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sleepatseven.com\/\">Seven<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Seven is a new boutique hotel in Bangkok and it only has 7 rooms. Six bedrooms and 1 lobby area, hence the name Seven. The hotel is inspired by Thai culture and art and each room has a color theme inspired by the Thai tradition of tying each day of the week to a color.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday is red and the red space serves as the lobby and multi-function area of the hotel. You can\u2019t sleep in the red room. You can sleep in many other colored rooms. Monday is the yellow room and yellow is the color of the King and very special to the Thai people. Tuesday is the pink room. Wednesday is the green room. Thursday is the orange room. Friday is the blue room. Saturday is the purple room and purple is also the color of the Queen, a very special color in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t able to see any of the rooms. As you can imagine, with only 6 rooms the hotel can fill up! The lobby is small but quaint and I suspect the rooms have a similar feel.<\/p>\n<h3>Reflections Hotel Bangkok<\/h3>\n<p>The hotel\u2019s website is absolutely terrible and impossible to navigate. The website alone would be enough to keep me from booking. You can find plenty of information on 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0party booking sites like Agoda and AsiaRooms.com. The Hotel exterior is noting exceptional and in fact, quite odd. The theme of the hotel is recycling and reusing trash. Each room is designed by a different Thai artist or designer. The hotel did experience some flooding during the major floods last year.
