Bangkok Oasis: 3-Bed Haven w/ WiFi, Washer & Unbeatable Location!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the whirlwind that is the Bangkok Oasis: 3-Bed Haven w/ WiFi, Washer & Unbeatable Location! And trust me, after spending a week there, I've got stories. Lots of stories. This isn't your sanitized, corporate-speak review. This is the real deal, the messy, wonderful, and occasionally frustrating truth.
First off, the basics: Accessibility? They try. There's an elevator (thank the heavens, because Bangkok heat + stairs is a recipe for disaster), but maneuvering a wheelchair around the hallways might be a touch tight. On-site accessible restaurants/lounges? Honestly, I didn't see anything specifically labelled as such, so call ahead if this is a dealbreaker.
Internet access? Oh, the internet. The lifeblood of modern travel. The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is a godsend. Seriously. I’m talking fast Wi-Fi. I could stream movies, video call my grandma (who, bless her heart, still thinks I’m living in a hut), and generally stay connected without wanting to throw my laptop out the window. They also offer Internet [LAN] which, let's be honest, is probably for the hardcore gamers or folks needing a rock-solid connection for serious work. Internet services are, well, internet services. They have it. You can use it. Moving on…
Things to do, ways to relax… Okay, this is where the Oasis really shines. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is a lifesaver after a day of battling the Bangkok traffic (which, by the way, is a whole other level of insanity). It's not Olympic-sized, but it's perfect for a leisurely float, and the Pool with a view is pretty darn sweet.
And the Spa! Oh, the spa. I'm a sucker for a good massage, and let me tell you, the Massage here is divine. I opted for the traditional Thai massage. Let me tell you, it was a little awkward at first, with the masseuse walking on my back, but after a while I was so relaxed that I almost fell asleep! If you're looking for something softer, they also offer Body scrub and Body wrap. Seriously, after a few days in Bangkok, you need that. They have a Sauna and Steamroom, but I'm more of a 'lounge by the pool with a cocktail' kind of person, so I didn't test them out. They also have a Fitness center/Gym/fitness, but I'm more of a "eat the delicious Thai food" kind of person.
Cleanliness and safety: This is crucial, especially these days. The Oasis takes it seriously. They use Anti-viral cleaning products, and there's Daily disinfection in common areas. They have Hand sanitizer everywhere (which I, a notorious germaphobe, appreciated). The staff is Staff trained in safety protocol, and they even have Sterilizing equipment. I felt safe, which is a huge plus. They offer Room sanitization opt-out available, if you prefer the cleaning crew not to come in, which is great.
Dining, drinking, and snacking: Let’s talk about fuel. The Asian breakfast is pretty good. You can also get Western breakfast. They have a Breakfast [buffet] and Breakfast service. They also have A la carte in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, and a Coffee shop, so you're covered. They offer Room service [24-hour] which is a lifesaver. I might have ordered Pad Thai at 3 AM one night. Don't judge. They have a Bar and a Poolside bar, perfect for sunset cocktails.
Services and conveniences: This is where the Oasis really goes the extra mile. They have Air conditioning in public area (essential!), a Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area (if you must), and a Terrace. They also have Cash withdrawal, which is helpful. They offer Contactless check-in/out, which is great for avoiding human contact, and Check-in/out [express], so you can get out of there fast.
For the kids: They're Family/child friendly, with Babysitting service and Kids meal options, so you can relax while you're there.
Getting around: They offer Airport transfer, which is a must. They also have Car park [free of charge] and Taxi service.
Available in all rooms: Now, let's get down to brass tacks. The Air conditioning is a lifesaver. Free Wi-Fi is included in all rooms. Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Ironing facilities, Mini bar, Refrigerator, Seating area, Shower, Slippers, Soundproofing, Telephone, and Toiletries are included in all rooms.
My personal experience:
Okay, so, let’s talk about the real reason I'm writing this review: the unforgettable incident involving the in-room safe. I, in my infinite wisdom, managed to lock myself out of the safe. Inside were my passport, my wallet, and, crucially, my emergency stash of chocolate. Panic, people, pure panic. The front desk staff, bless their hearts, were incredibly patient. They tried to help, but the safe was stubborn. After a solid hour of trying various methods, they finally had to call a locksmith. The locksmith arrived, looked at the safe, and sighed. “Happens all the time,” he muttered. He got it open in about five minutes. The relief was immense. And the chocolate? Still intact. This, my friends, is a testament to the Oasis's dedication to customer service. They handled the whole stressful situation with grace and a smile.
The Unbeatable Location:
Okay, the "Unbeatable Location!" part of the name isn't just marketing fluff. The Oasis is seriously well-situated. Close to the BTS Skytrain, so getting around Bangkok is a breeze. And the street food? Oh, the street food. Just a short walk away. I ate more Pad Thai in a week than I'd eaten in my entire life. (No regrets.) Plus, it's near the best shopping malls and tourist attractions. You can easily spend all day out and about and head back to your room for a relaxing evening.
The Imperfections:
Look, no place is perfect. The decor is a little… dated. Think comfortable, but not necessarily cutting-edge design. Some of the common areas felt a little cramped. And, hey, there was a minor issue with the water pressure in the shower on the first day. But honestly, these are minor quibbles. The friendly staff, the amazing location, and the overall comfort far outweigh these small imperfections.

Bilaspur's BEST Kept Secret: SPOT ON City Guest House!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-ironed travel itinerary. This is the raw, unfiltered, slightly-manic, and hopefully hilarious chronicle of my trip to Bangkok. And yes, I specifically chose the "3 Beds: Wifi, Washer, LTAT, Impact Bangkok Thailand" filter because, frankly, laundry is a priority. And I'm not sure what LTAT means, but I'm going with it.
Bangkok: Expect the Unexpected (and Pray for Clean Underwear)
Day 1: Arrival and Sensory Overload (AKA: I Think I Need a Nap…and a Drink)
Morning (ish): Landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Honestly, the airport itself is a sensory experience. Gleaming, air-conditioned, and yet still somehow… humid. The sheer volume of people is overwhelming. I swear, I saw more luggage than people. Finding my ride to the accommodation felt like surviving the Hunger Games. The driver, bless his heart, was a blur of smiles and frantic hand gestures. He might have been speaking English, but I could only understand "Bangkok," "Traffic," and the universal language of "tip, please?"
Afternoon: Arrived at the Impact Bangkok apartments. Finally! Beds, wifi, and the promise of clean clothes. The apartment itself…well, it's functional. Clean enough. The air con is blasting, which is a godsend. I fumbled with the LTAT (still no idea what it is) and after an hour I decided to skip it and head out. The first thing I noticed? The heat. It's a wall of heat that smacks you in the face. And the smells! A glorious, chaotic symphony of spices, exhaust fumes, and something vaguely fishy. I nearly choked on a noodle cart's fumes when I tried to cross the street. The traffic is a ballet of near-misses and honking. I swear, if you can survive Bangkok traffic, you can survive anything.
Evening: Found a street food stall selling Pad Thai. The best Pad Thai I've ever had. Seriously, I think I could eat it for every meal. The lady running the stall barely spoke English, but her smile was worth a thousand words. She even gave me extra peanuts! I spent the rest of the evening wandering the streets, completely lost and utterly enchanted. The neon lights, the bustling markets, the constant hum of activity… It's a beautiful chaos. Then, I got back to the apartment and crashed. Hard.
Day 2: Temples, Tuk-Tuks, and the Art of Haggling (AKA: My Feet Hurt and I'm Broke)
Morning: Woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a Tuk-Tuk. Decided to brave the temples. First stop: Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). The sheer scale of the architecture is awe-inspiring. The intricate details of the porcelain mosaics are mind-boggling. I took approximately 700 photos. Then, I attempted to get to Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha). Let me tell you, navigating Bangkok's public transport requires a PhD in advanced chaos theory. I got on the wrong bus, rode it for an hour in the wrong direction, and ended up smelling of diesel fumes and mild despair.
Afternoon: Finally made it to Wat Pho. The Reclining Buddha is HUGE. Like, ridiculously huge. I was speechless. The atmosphere is thick with incense and the murmur of prayers. I spent way too long just staring at it. Afterwards, I got a Thai massage. Best. Decision. Ever. My muscles were screaming for mercy. The masseuse, a tiny woman with hands of steel, pummeled the knots out of me. I almost fell asleep during the massage. I think I did.
Evening: Decided to try the Tuk-Tuks. BIG MISTAKE. They're thrilling, terrifying, and a complete rip-off. I got hustled. Badly. But hey, the ride was fun, right? (Maybe?) Ended the day at a rooftop bar, watching the sunset over the city. The view was incredible. The cocktails were…expensive. (I'm running low on funds, thanks to the Tuk-Tuk incident.)
Day 3: Floating Markets, River Cruises, and Seafood (AKA: I'm Officially in Love with this City)
Morning: Decided to do a day trip to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. This involved a pre-dawn wake-up call and a bus ride that felt like a rollercoaster on a gravel road. Worth it. The floating market is pure magic. The brightly colored boats piled high with fruit, noodles, and souvenirs. The vendors calling out to you in a language I don't understand. The chaos, the colors, the smells… it's an explosion of the senses. I ate mango sticky rice from a boat and nearly fell in. (Graceful, I am not).
Afternoon: Took a longtail boat ride through the canals. The houses on stilts, the laundry hanging out to dry, the kids splashing in the water… it's a glimpse into a different side of Bangkok. A more peaceful, less frenetic side. I sat in silence, just absorbing the atmosphere. It was profoundly peaceful. I think I even felt a tear well up in my eye.
Evening: River Cruise. This was my splurge meal. I thought I'd treat myself. The river cruise was an experience. The food was great. The view was great. I got to see the city at night, from a different perspective. I met some people and talked about what we did.
Day 4: The Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha and Shopping Spree! (AKA: I think I'm addicted to shopping)
Morning: This morning, I decided to visit the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The sheer opulence and grandeur of the place is overwhelming. Gold, glittering temples and complex architecture. I walked around for hours, the heat was exhausting. But the temples themselves are something else. The Emerald Buddha is stunning. The sheer amount of gold is blinding. I got a bit overwhelmed, I had to sit down for a bit, and I'm not religious.
Afternoon: Shopping! I was determined to go shopping. After the temples, I felt like I needed a pick-me-up. I went to a big shopping mall, it was air-conditioned, clean, bright and filled with people. I spent hours wandering around, trying on clothes, buying souvenirs, and just enjoying the atmosphere. It's a good feeling to just be in a store, looking at things. I'm starting to think I have a problem.
Evening: After all the shopping, I needed a moment to myself. I went to a quiet bar, where I could just relax and watch the world go by. I had a few drinks, and I was glad to just take some time to myself.
Day 5: Departure (AKA: I Don't Want to Leave!)
Morning: Did some last-minute souvenir shopping. Bought way too many elephant pants. Packed my bag (which is now overflowing). Re-lived all the memories of the past few days.
Afternoon: Headed to the airport. The traffic was, of course, epic. Said goodbye to the city, with a pang of sadness.
Evening: Landed back home, exhausted but exhilarated. I'm already planning my return trip. Bangkok, you magnificent, chaotic, beautiful beast, you've stolen my heart.
Reflections:
- LTAT: Still no clue what that is. Maybe it's the key to unlocking the secrets of Thai culture. Or maybe it's just a typo.
- The Food: Holy mother of all that is delicious. I'm going to need to learn how to make Pad Thai when I get home. And mango sticky rice. And everything else.
- The People: The Thai people are incredibly kind and welcoming. Even when I was hopelessly lost and confused, they were patient and helpful.
- The Imperfections: Bangkok isn't perfect. It's hot, it's crowded, it's noisy. But that's part of its charm. The imperfections are what make it real.
- Final Verdict: Go to Bangkok. Just go. You won't regret it. Just be prepared for sensory overload, a few (or many) moments of utter bewilderment, and a deep, abiding love for a city that will stay with you long after you leave.
This itinerary is a mess, it's honest, and it's hopefully a little bit funny. It’s just me, rambling about my experience. And that's the point, right? To capture the messy, unpredictable, and utterly human experience of travel.

Bangkok Oasis: 3-Bed Haven FAQs - Because Let's Be Real, You Have Questions!
Okay, so... is this place *actually* in a good location? Because "unbeatable" is a bold claim.
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because the location? It's... *chef's kiss*. Seriously. I'm talking, like, stumble-out-of-bed-and-you're-at-a-street-food-stall good. The BTS Skytrain? Two minutes. Literally, I timed it. I was late for a meeting (as usual, don't judge!), and I *still* made it. The river taxis are close too, which is FANTASTIC for a proper Thai experience, but be warned… the first time I took one, I got totally splashed by a passing boat, I was wearing all white. Not my finest moment. But yeah, unbeatable? Close enough. You'll be dodging tuk-tuks and smiling the whole time. Trust me.
Three bedrooms? Is the place, like, a mansion? I'm picturing gold faucets.
Whoa, slow down, Gatsby! No gold faucets. (Although, that would have been a *story*, wouldn't it?). It's a comfortable, modern apartment. The bedrooms are a good size, perfectly adequate for a family or a group of friends. One room has a slightly dodgy air con, which I'll be honest, I didn't love. But the other two were blissfully cold, and after a few hours in the Bangkok heat, you'll understand the value of *that*. It's not a palace, but it's spacious, and that's what matters, right? Space for your luggage, your questionable shopping purchases, and your general sense of "I'm on vacation and don't have to fold laundry!"
WiFi. Is it actually usable, or will I be tearing my hair out trying to upload a selfie?
Okay, so the WiFi... Look, it's not NASA-level internet. But it's totally fine. I actually *worked* from there for a few days, which involved multiple Zoom calls (thankfully, no wardrobe malfunctions). I did have to reboot the router once, which was easy enough. But, and this is a big but, I was able to watch Netflix, stream music, and generally annoy my family with my online presence. So, yeah, it works. Just don't expect to download the entire internet in five seconds. Patience, grasshopper. Patience. Besides, you're in Bangkok! Get off your phone and *live*!
The washer. Is it a tiny, sad thing? Because I'm traveling with a toddler and, well... you know.
Oh, bless your heart. The toddler laundry situation... I get it. The washer? It's a proper, full-sized machine. I was able to do a load of laundry every other day, which was a lifesaver. Because, let's be real, kids are walking, talking, food-slinging laundry machines. And honestly, after a day exploring those temples, you'll be needing a wash too. The only downside? The instructions were in Thai. Google Translate to the rescue! (And a little bit of trial and error. I may have shrunk one of my favorite shirts.)
What about the noise? Bangkok is, well, Bangkok.
Okay, this is where it gets real. Bangkok is a symphony of sound, that’s true. The apartment is on a relatively quiet street, which is a major plus. You'll still hear the occasional tuk-tuk, and maybe some dogs barking at 3 AM (that was memorable), but it wasn't constant ear-splitting chaos. I’m a light sleeper, and I slept pretty well. Bring earplugs if you're super sensitive, just in case. Honestly, I found the white noise of the city quite soothing after a while. It's part of the charm, you know?
Is there a kitchen? Because I might want to, you know, eat.
Yes! There is a kitchen! It's not a Michelin-star chef's paradise, but it has the basics: a fridge, a stovetop, a microwave. I made coffee every morning (essential!), and I even attempted to cook some Pad Thai one night. (Let's just say, the street food vendors are better at it). It's perfect for making breakfast, reheating leftovers, or just storing your Singha beers. There's a grocery store a short walk away, so you can stock up on snacks and supplies. I'm not going to lie, I mostly ate street food. But the option was there! And that's what counts.
What's the best thing about the place, in your opinion?
The BEST thing? Hmm... Okay, this is tough. The location, obviously. But also, the *feeling*. It felt like a home base in a chaotic, amazing city. It was a place to retreat to after a long day of temples and markets. I remember one evening, after a particularly grueling day of haggling at Chatuchak Weekend Market (my voice was GONE), I collapsed on the sofa with a cold beer and just... breathed. That feeling of being able to relax and recharge? Priceless. Honestly, if I went back to Bangkok, I'd book it again in a heartbeat. Even with the slightly dodgy air con.
Any downsides? Be honest!
Okay, honesty time. The air con in one of the bedrooms wasn't the greatest. And the building itself isn't exactly a five-star hotel. There’s no gym or pool. The towels were... functional, but not luxurious. And finding the place for the first time was a bit of a quest. I got a little lost, which, in Bangkok, is practically a rite of passage. But honestly? Those are minor quibbles. The positives far outweighed the negatives. Look, no place is perfect. But this place? It's pretty damn good.
Would you recommend it? Seriously, would *you* stay there again?
YES! A resounding YES! I would absolutely stay there again. In fact, I'm already plotting my return. The location, the space, the washer (oh, the washer!), the feeling of having a little oasis in the middle of the madness... it all adds up to aRoam And Rests
