TENFACE BOUTIQUE BANGKOK
Design hotel in Bangkok tend to lean in one aesthetic direction oranother.Either they’re traditional teak home brimming with rustic, woodsy charm, or they’re order to all thing’s shimmy and ultra modern.So imaging our glee when we bumbled in to the style-melding confines of Ten Face, an urbane little sanctuary.tucked down a sub-soi off Wireless Road, that’s nailed both.
Inspired by Tosakan, the 10 faced giant from the Thai literary epic the Ramakien, the local designers IAW (Interior Architecture Workshop) have pulled off a blinder Slick.Surrealistic décor – Ramakien – homaging murals, art pieces and other cool exotica a dorms all its swish spaces.There’s buzzing restaurant Wanara a sleek bar called Sita a chic lap – pool and 79 one or two bedroom suite.Ranging from a generous 61 to a palation 142 sqm. There come tricked out with LCD TVs and Free Wi-Fi Internet.While the two – bedroom feature kitchenettes and dishwashers.It’s the local unforeseen perks that give this place the edge,however – where else do you receive a “Tosakan heart Box” on arrival (a goody – bag containing a sky train pass.free SIM card an iPod Nano for viewing insightful Bangkok podcasts, and more), and how many time have you met Pipek, an in-house entertainment guru/man – about – town whose job it is to open doors to all the cool patties, exhibitions and events ?
