Shanti Lodge Bangkok

Been staying here since 2000 and it's the best value, best people and best vegan food in Thailand. You can't beat the price, location or happy vibes of the place. The owners name is Happy by the way. No pun intended.

Very helpful staff, there are trees along the front of lodge & plants… Pleasant place & good vibes!

I stayed a number of times at Shanti Lodge Bangkok in the 1990s as a solo traveler. (Big shout out to Yuan and staff from that time.) I liked the setting in Thai neighborhood, the personable vibe of the staff, and the proximity to the Thewet station on the river and the proximity to buses to historic Bangkok. I returned this time with my wife and two adolescent boys. We stayed in a 'Fabulous Family Room'. I was concerned that they would be disappointed by the Thai-ness of Shanti (e.g., it's less of a western hotel and more of a multi-room Thai house with shoes taken off at the entrance), but in fact they loved the place (especially it's cleanliness) and requested that we return there for any future visits to Bangkok. The proximity to the river continues to be great, and the neighborhood has a lot to enjoy without being far away from bigger tourist areas such as Banglamphu and Chatuchak. Keep up the good work, Shanti !
