The original Viengtai Hotel opened its doors in 1953 and was the first hotel in the Bang Lamphu-Khao San area, which over the years has grown into a popular place to stay. The hotel has since been refurbished and underwent a complete rebranding facelift under ibis Styles. “Khao San Road has long been favoured by backpackers,” says Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer of AccorHotels, Upper Southeast and Northeast Asia. “The road is lined with budget guesthouses and midrange hotels and we are pleased to introduce ibis Styles Bangkok Khaosan Viengtai as the first international hotel in the area. “Located in the heart of the capital’s old town, ibis Styles Bangkok Khaosan Viengtai is a stone throw away from vibrant Khao San,” says general manager Pierre-Yves Viou.
