Lilliput Riverside Bangkachao

The Thai breakfast was delicious and made to order from our amazing & gracious host, Khun Som. Her cousin runs the next door restaurant, which also served good Thai river fare. There's a 24hr. longtail boat to cross the Chao Praya, where taxis & motosais are waiting to take you to the nearest BTS or MRT station. The surrounding area has many kilometers of elevated sidewalks to explore through jungle, farms and small neighborhoods. It's amazing to be city center Bangkok and know you're a few steps away from actual rural Thailand.

Having to cross the river to get basic convenience store goods and snacks, which is probably a good thing!

If you want to get away from the bustling life of Bangkok, this is the place to go! After a short boat ride, you will get to this lovely guesthouse with very friendly owners who speak good English. We were upgraded to a room with a small balcony with a very comfy bed.We booked the room, including breakfast, and the breakfast was very good! You will find a restaurant with good food next to the guesthouse. Be aware that they don't speak much English. You can use bikes for free from the shop next door. We visited both the lovely botanical garden and the huge "floating" market, which, in reality, is an indoor market. We highly recommend this guesthouse!

Everything was great ! The room was as described, clean, quiet AC, with spaces to organise your belongings, same goes for the bathroom. Som, our host, was nothing but sweet, helpful and full of tips and ideas of things to do. She is also a wonderful cook and prepared incredibly good breakfasts (photo) and diner, really really worth it ! The room is located in Bangkok’s « green lung », right on the river and near the pier where you can grab a boat to the other side. They run 24/7, then you can hop on a moto taxi, a grab/taxi or bus and head to the city. We loved being able to visit Bangkok while staying in a much quieter area, with a village vibe surrounded by nature. It is pretty nice to eat diner on the river with the view on the city. We also used the bikes Som has for guests and went on several bike rides to the floating market, night market, park, cafés, etc. It’s pretty easy to bike around and you’ll discover a less known and touristy area of Bangkok. We would definitely go back !!

Great location by the river and next to local restaurant with great food. Very friendly owners who made sure it was a happy and comfortable stay. We were surprised and grateful they arranged a krathong for us on Loy Krathong. Also, there’s space to park bicycle overnight.

Som is a great host. Very sweet, proactive, and considerate. Went out of the way to help out with even trivial things. Also, I found the location to be perfect. You are close to nature, eight by the river with great cycling routes and other activities, and as soon as you cross the river, you are in the city. I found it very convenient to explore places in Bangkok.

Close to the river, great bar/restaurant next door. Coconuta fresh in the room. Use of the bikes to cycle around the area. Homely.

Having to leave. Will be back soon :-)

Beautiful place, with owner sharing the best way to reach Lilliput the night before. Helped save the time it will take me if I go by the regular route. And I got a chilled coconut welcome drink!

The location is awesome. It is Bangkok away from Bangkok. A countryside away from the hustle and bustle and a meet with local Thai. The host is super helpful. The room and the bathroom are spic and span. The view from the room is awesome. The rates are affordable. By Gods' Grace I found the right place. Booked for one night and continued there for a second.

If it rains, you have to spend a lot to reach there by road. Otherwise the ferry is always there.
