A comfortable hostTucked away in Yaowarat Chinatown, AMA hostel was once served as a
mansion of wealthy Chinese migrants, surrounded by waterways and
bridges that were the heart of Bangkok’s transportation. Perched three
floors high up, this 1,000-square-meter house is comprised of two
compartments: the main and minor buildings. While the larger hall was
formerly resided by the owner’s big family, another smaller site was
operated as the servants’ quarter. Since the era of King Rama V, the
stately property has been passed through generations. However, its
historical aesthetics still shine in every inch of its exquisite architecture.
For more than a century, and now finally, this precious place falls in the
hand of a Thai of Chinese descent, who runs a business in textile
trading. After it was featured in several famous Thai dramas, Nakun
Pornwanich, the mastermind behind the whole concept, decided to
transform this elegant antique house into an urban-chic hostel. With 14
guest rooms, the sophisticated space is tastefully renovated with a
modernized look that continues to honor the past with elements from its
colonial legacy. He aims to retain the original features of the significant
structures, and the homey vibes of the house by giving only a few
interiors a modern makeover, so guests get to immerse in its vibrant
culture and valuable heritage.
Embracing the traditional touches and contemporary designs, AMA
hostel preserves rich, remarkable details, from Chinese quadrangles and
intricate guard rails to antique parquet floorings and decent wooden
windows. Colorful hues are what bring the old artistic surrounds to life.
Stylish and sleek, each floor is decorated with subtly different shades,
inspired by the moods and tones of the four seasons.
On the first floor, the lobby area reflects Spring and Winter in fresh green
and eggshell white, offering a warm and welcoming ambiance once the
guests enter the door. There’s also a little corner for those who’d like to
enjoy a cup of coffee in the relaxing café. The second floor draws upon
the sense of Summer, featuring romantic red that elevates the space
with sensual hints. Another amenity includes the massage room that is
also set on the same floor.
The top floor is where the Rainy season takes over. Against the cozy
blue wall, the guests will find a shallow pool terrace for sunbathing and
cool rooftop bar with ice-cold drinks. On top of that, the interiors are
draped with plush fabrics, which are reminiscent of Nakun family
business, adding the finishing touch to this one-of-a-kind hostel.
With a name synonymous with grandmother in Chinese dialect, AMA will
always draw guests close to home. The symbolic logo also resembles
the strength of the signature railing that withstands the harsh passing of
time and still stands firm all these years – like a kind, endearing
grandmother who always take care of us with her warmth and grace.el in Khaosan Road area with great facilities.
