We were collected from the airport by a driver organsed by Karan at Focal Local, an easy start to the holiday. The accomodation was great couldnt be faulted. The advice was incredibly helpfull, would reccomend to anyone and are going back there on our way back to uk.

We spent two lovely nights at Focal Local and would absolutely recommend it. We've spent a lot of time in Thailand over the years; Focal Local exceeded our expectations on all accounts. After a long journey to Bangkok from Krabi, we were greeted with smiles and delicious iced tea. The room was beautifully decorated and had a rainfall shower (with a shower curtain!), very soft sheets with duvet, minifridge and TV, and a great AC unit. The bed in particularly was a nice feature after a few weeks in a much less comfortable setup in southern Thailand.

Karan is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He went out of his way to make us comfortable and is clearly gifted in his ability to accommodate guests. Breakfast was great as well.

Focal Local is located in the Thonburi area, a bit off the beaten path but easily accessible by taxi, tuktuk, sky train, and ferry. We used all four over the three days we were there and did not find that the location was a problem. My husband is accustomed to staying in the Khaosan Road area and even he was happy to be in the more residential area where Focal Local is located. There are numerous food carts just up the street where we found delicious options.

Overall, Focal Local offers far more comfort and style than other hotels we've encountered in Thailand. Karan and his staff really seal the deal with their hospitality. We fully intend to return to Focal Local on our next trip to Bangkok and enthusiastically recommend it to our fellow travelers.

Nice and safe place in urban area of town.
Nice unique designed aircon rooms.
Not far from the river boat station or skytrain. Hotel offers complimentary Tuktuk ride to reach skytrain or riverboat once a day.
Staff was extremly helpfull even in non standard situations (We had a small car accident).
Thai food for breakfast was delicious. If you want western stuff you can also get it as well.
When i go to Bangkok a second time i would choose this hotel again.
