Rare jewel

Drawing room (1), showing a library on the mezzanine floor above.


Drawing room (2) with cathedral-like ceilings, allowing maximum light.

The master bedroom suite.


A guest bedroom.


The swimming pool.


The foyer opens up into a Moroccan-style courtyard.


Stairs leading to the first floor, from the courtyard.


The first floor balcony looking towards to courtyard.

This type of beautiful old house is rare in Bangkok, but they do exist. Because the city is so well spread out, and there are no particular zones for high-end residential properties, they are indeed hidden treasures. This one is more especially so because it has been decorated with impeccable taste and style by a young Thai man with royal connections, who has lived abroad and brought back with him the essence of a bygone era, with obvious Chinese, Thai and European influences.
