Karan and his wife were just the perfect hosts for our first night in Bangkok! We arrived to Bangkok quite early in the morning so our room wasn't ready when we arrived to Focal Local. However Karan told us that we can leave our backbags there and recommended some good breakfast places. Rooms are in good shape and they are... More

I stayed at here for 3 night and the beginning of a 8week trip and ended with 2 nights before my flight home. It really is a wonderful place to stay. Great rooms with different themes, spotless, awesome shower. It is a short ride to the BTS station or sawthorn water taxis. I like using the motorbike taxis really quick... More

My partner and I stayed at Focal Local for three nights from the 11th to the 14th of May 2012. Everything about our stay was perfect and looking back there is nothing we would change. Despite being slightly outside the heart of the city centre it was only five minute (hotel subsidised) tuc-tuc to the passenger ferry terminal (Sawthorn Bridge)... More

Focal Local was a wonderful place to start our trip. My husband and I currently live in Vietnam. Asia is not known for their comfortable beds. It was such a treat to sleep in Focal Local's bed. It was even better when we took a shower. It had great water pressure, which is a luxury to us. The staff were... More

Focal Local was an excellent place to stay. It has such a cute homey character and amazingly helpful and friendly staff. This B & B was just what we needed when arriving in a huge unknown city. We really appeciated Karan's advice each day, he pretty much planned our day with us each morning! We thoroughly enjoyed our tasty Thai... More

Focal Local is a relatively small B&B in the Thonburi District of Bangkok, out of the way of tourists, but quite well placed if you wish to get a glimpse of the Thai way of life. It's owner and manager, Karan is a young Thai, who is quite willing to take an active part in making your stay a remarkable... More

Focal Local has definitely got to be the highlight of my Bangkok trip. Located at Thonburi, it is very close to the well connected Sathorn Bridge from where you can take a ferry out to Bangkok’s main attractions. But more than convenience, the feel of this quaint Bed and Breakfast was what won me over and all credit goes to... More

Focal Local fills an important niche in places to stay: it allows you to escape the sterility and impersonal experience of hotels and brings the comfort, service, and sense of familiarity of bed & breakfasts without the premium. And really, after our days slogging through 35 degree heat in Bangkok, coming back to Focal Local each evening was like nothing... More

Focal Local may not be big in stature or right on the water but offers much more! This quaint B & B is located in a true Bangkok neighborhood where you get to be a part of everyday life, if not sometimes hectic life. But that's a part of the feel that owner/manager Karan & his wonderful staff are are... More
