Built in 1908 by HRH Prince Chakrabongse, along the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the heart of Old Bangkok, Chakrabongse Villas provides a tranquil haven away from the hustle and bustle of modern Bangkok. Each of the 7 suites is nestled in a lush tropical garden that also features a spacious swimming pool.

Narisa Chakrabongse
Your Host & The Team
“Having grown up in the main house at Chakrabongse Villas and watched the sun set over Wat Arun, I really wanted to share my love for my home with special guests. My grandfather, Prince Chakrabongse, built this house as somewhere to get changed when he went to ceremonies in the Grand Palace 100 years ago. This shows how close the property is to the heart of old Bangkok. Guests can walk to the most famous temples in Bangkok in just 15 minutes to half an hour. I always like staying in the older parts of any major city and being able to walk around. This is one of the key features here. Each time I come home I like to see what's changed in the garden, see the wagtails flitting about, try a new dish with the chef, relax and stare at the river. I hope the guests feel the same way. I enjoy meeting them and sharing their experiences. Sharing is one of the common values of all Secret Retreats.”
