Where I Stayed in Bangkok: Discover The Residence on Thonglor

 


When I was planning my quick weekend trip to Bangkok, I knew I wanted something comfortable but not over the top. A place where I could rest, maybe work a bit, enjoy a nice breakfast, and have the option to chill by the pool. I didn’t want to just book any random hotel. I wanted one that felt like a little home base in the city.

So, I listed down my must-haves:

  • Mostly positive reviews on Agoda

  • 4 to 5 star ratings

  • Around 2,500 to 3,500 PHP per night (the sweet spot for Bangkok 4-star hotels)

  • A pool (gym is a bonus)

  • Buffet breakfast

  • Close enough to a train station that I could walk, say within 20 minutes

After browsing through Agoda for a bit, one listing stood out:

GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE - JOURNAL



This was my second time wearing a hanbok during this trip to South Korea, but it felt extra special because it was my first time at Gyeongbokgung Palace. To make it even better, I was with friends this time, which honestly makes the whole hanbok experience way more fun than when I first tried it in Jeonju.

If you’ve ever dreamed of living out your K-Drama fantasy, Gyeongbokgung Palace is the perfect place to do it. The moment you put on a hanbok and step inside the palace grounds, you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. It’s such a surreal experience to walk through the grand gates, wander the courtyards, and imagine the lives of royals and nobles from centuries ago.


What makes it even more exciting is that you won’t be the only one in costume. Tourists and even some locals stroll around the palace in their colorful hanboks, striking poses, snapping photos, and enjoying the vibe. The whole atmosphere feels festive and alive, almost like being on the set of a historical drama.
