Hotel De Moc
Thailand, Bangkok, Khao San

Hotel De Moc, formerly known as The Thai Hotel, is an inexpensive family-run hotel with a friendly atmosphere. We are located right in the heart the oldest section of Bangkok on Rattanakosin Island, not far from some of the key historical sites such as the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Keow. In 1782, King Rama I of the Chakri Dynasty made the decision to move the Thai capital from Thonburi on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River to Bangkok, on the eastern bank, and the hotel lies very close to the area that still serves as the Kingdoms administrative and cultural centre.

About Khao San:

Formerly a quiet local area with just a few budget guest houses, the Banglamphu area and famous Khao San Road have become an obligatory stop on the twenty-something travel trail, with cheap guest houses, street cafes, music shops, boutiques and bars. Over the last few years the area has become a tourist attraction in its own right given impetus by the novel “The Beach” which features Khao San Road. It's untypical of Bangkok and yet the back streets nearby retain some of their old fashioned Thai charm. Accommodation used to be very basic but many guest houses are now upgrading with air-conditioning, pools and better quality rooms catering to a wider family market, at very reasonable rates. An extensive market, good cheap restaurants and the international mix of travellers and locals from different backgrounds make it an interesting place to visit or stay.

Thailand's thriving and lively capital city is one of the best reasons for visiting. The new underground rail system and Skytrain now link most of the main tourist and business areas, allowing easy access to virtually anywhere in the city. The old city area (Rattanakosin) and the riverside are becoming popular areas near Bangkok's temples but if you're a shopaholic, head for Sukhumvit, Ploenchit and Rachaprasong.
