Where most Thai boutique stays draw on the country’s ancient palaces and temples for design inspiration, Volve takes a refreshingly different approach.
Owner Pavee Tansirikongkol took cues from the midcentury villas hidden in Thonglor’s alleys and has created a 28-room lifestyle hub with a touch of retro.
This is one of those places that manages to make you feel like a local, with bright rooms resembling small apartments and a handy booklet featuring the many little-known shops, restaurants and bars dotted around this bustling district. There’s a smart cafe in the lobby and a contemporary Thai-Chinese restaurant in the basement.
When it’s time for sightseeing, Thonglor’s BTS Skytrain station connects you to all corners of town within 30 minutes.
From hidden izakaya restaurants to bass-thumping nightclubs that could’ve been plucked straight out of Berlin, bustling Thonglor is Bangkok’s cross-cultural entertainment playground.
It’s a great spot for travellers looking to immerse themselves into the city’s flashier side, but you’ll find plenty of quiet alleys too.
The hotel is surrounded by commercial buildings, so it’s not the most eye-catching of areas, but it does mean its cleaner and less hectic than many areas.
Please note - we hope to one day have live prices for you, but for now, here are some useful links for you to compare prices...
