Visit To A Hotel Essay

Coming home to Yim Huai Kwang hostel in Bangkok

I love arriving in a new city. It 's the thrill of something exciting and unexpected that keeps me going from place to place, always hoping the next one will offer something I haven 't seen yet. New people, new food, new everything.

But then there are all these little incidents that won 't make it onto my instagram feed. Being scammed by a taxi driver because I didn 't know how close my hotel is, getting lost in the middle of the night, dragging the backpack through the city looking for a place to stay...

That 's why from time to time, there is nothing more enjoyable for me than returning to a place that I liked. Where I can tell the taxi driver where to turn and where my phone connects to the wifi without asking.

My place for that in Bangkok

The wooden surfaces feel super stylish while still making the pods comfy and a great place to chill in.

The privates

These rooms offer everything you would ask for in a hotel while still having the cool vibe of a hostel.

I stayed in two different rooms.

On my very first trip there, I stayed in a room on the top floor with a balcony overlooking the area. With an ensuite bathroom and a queen-size bed, it had everything I could ask for in a hotel.

This time I stayed in a room on the ground floor, opening towards the backyard.

A bamboo sliding door covered the window front and I loved having my own little outdoor area. Opening towards the backyard, I didn 't hear anything from the busy city surrounding us.

This room was a little bigger and had a massive bathroom attached to it.

My favourite detail were the light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, emphasizing the industrial style going on.

Over all

Yim Huai Kwang was my first and my last stop on my trip through South east Asia. I remember arriving here, super nervous and tired and felt welcome right away.

The lovely staff made sure that I didn 't miss the best parts of the city and couldn 't have provided a better start
