A
serene
oasis
in
an
otherwise
busy,
noisy,
chaotic
city!
We
were
looking
for
accommodations
that
didn't
require
an
elevator
ride,
could
easily
provide
safe
social
distancing
from
other
people,
and
was
centrally
located.
Mama
Garden
turned
out
to
be
perfect!
The
BTS,
MRT,
and
Chao
Praya
river
boat
systems
are
all
within
a
10
minute
walk.
Within
the
same
distance
is
the
IconSiam
Mall,
an
upscale
shopping
destination,
with
lots
of
food
options,
IMAX
theatre,
Watsons,
Takashimaya
department
store
and
other
amenities
should
you
need
to
get
out
of
the
heat
or
rain
for
a
while.
Yok
Yor,
a
riverside
restaurant
that
specializes
in
seafood
and
the
Jam
Factory
with
its
Never
Ending
Summer
restaurant
are
nearby.
You
don't
need
to
go
to
all
the
way
Khaosan
Road
or
even
Chinatown
for
street
food,
because
there
a
number
of
food
stalls,
from
the
moment
you
exit
the
Mama
Garden
gate
and
around
the
corner,
in
front
of
the
7-Eleven.
When
it
got
too
hot
to
go
elsewhere
to
eat,
we
just
picked
up
some
dimsum,
fried
rice,
grilled
or
fried
chicken,
grilled
catfish,
roast
duck,
crispy
pork
belly,
stir-fried
noodles,
within
a
five
minutes
walk.
All
cheap
and
delicious!
We
also
did
the
Yaowarat
road
experience,
and
I
don't
plan
to
do
that
again.
Once
is
enough
just
for
the
experience.
In
a
previous
visit
I
stayed
near
Khaosan
road
and
that
too
will
not
be
repeated.
Mama
Garden
is
located
in
a
typical
Bangkok
neighborhood
alley
off
of
Charoen
Rat,
a
not
so
busy
road
that
leads
to
Charoen
Nakhon,
a
very
busy
main
road
where
IconSiam
is
located.
But
at
night,
save
for
an
occasional
motorcycle
or
people
talking,
all
you
hear
are
frogs
croaking
and
crickets
chirping.
Mong
was
an
outstanding
host,
went
well
beyond
expectations
to
see
to
our
needs.
She
even
got
up
at
4:30
AM
to
check
if
our
booked
ride
had
arrived
to
take
us
to
the
airport!
Thankfully
she
did,
because
that
!@#$%&
driver
was
a
no-show,
and
so
we
had
to
scramble
to
find
another.
She
spoke
to
the
Grab-taxi
driver
to
explain
how
to
get
to
our
location
quickly.
She
must
have
also
told
him
to
drive
fast
because
it
seemed
like
he
broke
speed
records
to
get
us
to
DMK
on
time!
Thank
you
Mong
for
a
great
stay!
