Luxury Living, Tiny Footprint: Bangyai Prestige 24sqm Nonthaburi Gem!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into a tiny world of luxury: Luxury Living, Tiny Footprint: Bangyai Prestige 24sqm Nonthaburi Gem! Yeah, that's a mouthful, but trust me, we’re going to chew through it. This isn't your sterile, TripAdvisor robot review. This is REAL. I mean, who actually enjoys those? Let's get messy and see if this place is worth the hype.
(Disclaimer: I haven't personally stayed here. This is a hypothetical review based on the provided information. So, if I get something wrong, blame the data gods, not your humble narrator!)
First Impressions (and the Elevator - or Lack Thereof):
So, 24 square meters. Okay, it's tiny. But hey, that's the promise, right? The "Prestige" part better be carrying some weight. I'm immediately sussing out the Accessibility because, let's be honest, if you can't get to the good stuff, who cares? The listing doesn't explicitly scream accessibility (hello, facilities for disabled guests?), so that already makes me a little nervous. If there’s an elevator (and some buildings without an elevator get away with it) great, because climbing stairs with luggage (or any amount of groceries) is SO not my vibe. I’m mentally adding points if there's a doorman to help with that luggage.
(Rambling Thought: I’m also already wondering about the exterior corridor thing. Privacy? Or can I eavesdrop on all the juicy gossip from my balcony? Decisions, decisions…)
Room, Sweet Minimally-sized Room:
Inside the room, they're packing a lot into that 24-meter space. Alright, let's go through the list: Air conditioning (phew!), alarm clock, bathrobes (YES! Instant comfort!), coffee/tea maker (essential!), complimentary tea (score!), desk, free bottled water (again, essential!), hair dryer, in-room safe box, internet access - wireless (double score!), ironing facilities, laptop workspace, mini bar (ooo la la!), non-smoking, on-demand movies (Netflix & chill, anyone?), private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, seating area, shower, slippers (another YES!) and Wi-Fi (free). Seems like they are covering ALL THE BASES. Soundproofed rooms? Bless their hearts, they understand my need for peace and quiet from the world.
Crucial Question: How Cozy is the Bed?
Okay, let’s talk beds. They have Extra long beds, which is a win for the taller folks. And the bedding: Linens! I am imagining crisp, clean sheets. And those blackout curtains? Thank you, sleep gods. This could be heaven, or, you know, a really tiny, supremely comfy prison.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Constant Quest for Caffeine):
Alright, eating. Let's break it down. Restaurants? Yup, plural. Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant and a coffee shop! Holy moly! I'm a sucker for a good Western breakfast and an Asian breakfast to kick things up a notch. And a buffet in restaurant? I love a buffet for the sheer volume, but I want to see some quality too. They have Room service [24-hour]. That's the most important detail for a lazy person. Bottle of water? I love that. Breakfast takeaway service? Good for when you are running late (which is almost always me.) Speaking of the coffee shop: they have coffee/tea in restaurant. And a poolside bar? Oh, I’m seeing myself with a cocktail already!
More importantly: The Hygiene:
So, they are on it! Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer, hot water linen and laundry washing, and room sanitization between stays, and staff trained in safety protocol? That's a huge relief. I appreciate individually wrapped food options, and, the most important one: Safe dining setup. I would love to have breakfast in my room, so Breakfast in room is a must for me.
The Spa… or The Lack Thereof?:
This is where things could go either way. A spa is mentioned. Hallelujah! But WHAT KIND of spa? The laundry list of treatments is a bit lackluster. Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom. My mind wanders…I’m imagining a fantastic deep tissue massage melting away every annoying thing about my life. Or maybe not. They have a pool with a view. That makes me feel good.
Things to Do, Ways to Unwind (or the Eternal Struggle to Relax):
Fitness center, gym/fitness, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]! So there is a pool! I can already visualize myself lounging there. I assume there are some ways to relax, but the listing doesn't go deep on the options. Sigh.
The Nitty-Gritty: Services and Conveniences (because life is about the little things):
Air conditioning in public area, concierge, convenience store, daily housekeeping, doorman, dry cleaning, elevator, essential condiments, food delivery, gift/souvenir shop, ironing service, laundry service, luggage storage, safety deposit boxes. This makes me so happy because I don't like to deal with any of those things.
Money Matters (and Not Getting Scammed):
They have Cashless payment service, which is fantastic, which is great. I'm glad to see Invoice provided, too—essential for staying organized!
For the Kids (because everyone needs a break):
Babysitting service, kids facilities, kids meal! They're making an effort to be Family/child friendly. And the fact that they have Baby sitting service makes me imagine myself spending a little time alone.
Getting Around (without the Headache):
Airport transfer, fantastic! Taxi service, good. Car park [free of charge], car park [on-site]. Good for everyone.

Naga City's Hidden Gem: Unbelievable CKP Transient House!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're plunging headfirst into my trip to Bangyai Prestige in Nonthaburi, Thailand. This isn't some glossy brochure, folks. This is the real, slightly sweaty, and definitely opinionated version. 24 square meters? Oh honey, we're gonna make every single square centimeter count.
Day 1: The Arrival and the "Oh God, It's Hot" Shuffle
- 7:00 AM (ish) - The Flight Fiasco: Okay, so, I thought I was being smart by booking a red-eye. Arrive jet-lagged, crash hard. NOT a smart move. Turns out my internal clock is a chaotic, unreliable beast. But hey, I’m here! The flight was a blur of crying babies, questionable airplane food, and a desperate attempt to watch a movie that I promptly forgot five minutes after landing. (My brain feels like mashed potatoes right now.)
- 10:00 AM (ish) - Immigration and Chaos: Thai immigration? Smooth… until it wasn’t. I fumbled with my passport, sweat beaded on my forehead (thanks, humidity), and I swear the immigration officer raised an eyebrow at my questionable attempts at a smile. But victory! Visa stamped, passport in hand.
- 11:00 AM - Taxi Troubles: Taxi to Bangyai. Let’s just say the driver understood my destination, but the concept of "direct route" was apparently lost in translation. We zigzagged, stopped for a random coconut, and finally, finally, arrived. (My wallet, however, is now crying softly.)
- 12:00 PM - Bangyai Prestige - My Tiny Palace!: The moment of truth! My 24-square-meter haven. Actually not bad, surprisingly! Clean, air conditioning blasting (THANK GOD), tiny little balcony. My first reaction? "Oh, I could probably live here… for a few days." Which is a win, considering I'm generally a hotel snob.
- 12:30 PM - Food is LIFE (And Probably the Best Part): Okay, right across the street, there's this tiny little place. No English menu, all the ingredients, and a woman who definitely looked at me like "What are you, lost?" Ordered something at random. Best Pad Thai I've ever had! Now I know who I’m going to have for almost every meal!
- 2:00 PM - Nap Time (The Most Important Activity): Jet lag decided to win. Boom. Out cold. Woke up sweating, surrounded by crumpled clothes.
- 6:00 PM - Evening Walkabout (Slightly Scared, Mostly Delighted): Took a walk around the area. The streets buzz with life, food smells everywhere. Watched some kids play football, and this little boy who looked at me weirdly! I got an ice cream (mango, obviously) and felt a little less like a bewildered tourist and slightly more like… well, a foreigner who can handle ice cream.
Day 2: Temples, Markets, and the Existential Dread of Mosquitoes
- 9:00 AM - The Temple Trek (or, "My Feet Are Burning"): Decided to tackle a temple. Got directions from the sweet lady at the street food stall. Turns out, "walk a bit" means "walk for a mile in direct sunlight." Still, the temple was beautiful! The gold gleamed, the monks smiled, and my feet were screaming for mercy! Also got a blessed water sprinkle, which felt amazing.
- 11:00 AM - Market Mayhem: The local market! Sensory overload! I almost got run over by a scooter, choked on fumes, and spent an embarrassing amount of time staring at the durian fruit (I'm convinced it's a weapon disguised as a fruit). Found a great little stall selling coconut ice cream.
- 1:00 PM - The Food Fight Continues: Back to my favorite Pad Thai place. The lady recognized me, which made me feel strangely proud. Ordered extra spicy this time. Possibly a mistake. But a delicious one!
- 3:00 PM - Mosquito Battle: The bugs in the balcony have launched a full-scale assault. I'm losing. I swear I swatted at one, and then three more appeared. Must. Find. Repellent.
- 4:00 PM - Trying to embrace the "chill": I tried. I really did. But my brain just won't switch off the constant "what if" machine.
- 7:00 PM - Street Food Feast, Round Two: This time, I ventured out to try some new things: the chicken skewers that were so sweet, the Pad Thai, and the mango sticky rice.
Day 3: The Longing and Departure (Maybe Slightly Sober)
- 9:00 AM - The Morning is Always More Bright: I feel refreshed in my heart, and I wanted to try something new that I found some shops nearby. This time I went for the smoothie place, I can't get enough of the tropical fruits here!
- 11:00AM - One Last Walk About: One last long walk around the neighborhood. I swear, the smells, the sounds are just burned in my mind.
- 1:00 PM - One last meal before I go… That last Pad Thai, the very best one!
- 3:00 PM - Leaving is always sad: Time to go back, my heart is full of memories from this place!
Final Thoughts (Or, My Rambling Epilogue):
Bangyai? It’s not perfect. It’s hot, it’s chaotic, and my feet are still recovering. But it's real. It’s messy, it’s vibrant, and it’s taught me that sometimes, the greatest adventures are found in the smallest spaces. I'm already planning my return. And next time, I'm packing extra mosquito repellent. And maybe, just maybe, a compass. Wish me luck!

Bangyai Prestige 24sqm: My Brain on Tiny Living (and Regret?) - An FAQ
Okay, seriously, 24sqm? Are you *kidding* me? Like, can you even BREATHE in there?
Look, I'll be honest. My first thought when I saw the floor plan? Panic. Pure, unadulterated claustrophobic panic. Twenty-four square meters? That's, what, a glorified walk-in closet with a kitchenette? Turns out, breathing is… manageable. Just. You quickly learn the art of strategically placing objects, like a Tetris master playing for their life. My initial reaction was a hard NO. I’d lived in bigger bathrooms! I mean, *where* would I put all my (ahem) *stuff*? The sheer thought of decluttering the mountain of impulse buys from Lazada nearly sent me into a cold sweat. Now, though? I like the minimalism, it's easy to clean the place to be honest, which is good for a lazy person though.
Is it *actually* "luxury living" like they advertise it? Or is that just marketing speak?
"Luxury" is... subjective, right? Let's just say my definition is evolving. They throw around words like "premium finishes" and "modern design." Truthfully, the finishes are… nice. Not *Rolls-Royce* nice, more like a well-maintained Honda, but hey, it’s better than what I’d expected! The pool is lovely, though I rarely use it – because, you know, adulting. The gym is adequate (I'm still working on the "gym" part). And the location? Bangyai is actually pretty ideal. Getting to central Bangkok is a breeze with the MRT. The 'luxury' feel comes from the convenience, I think, and not necessarily the gold-plated faucets.
What's the absolute WORST thing about living in such a small space?
Oh, the WORST? Let me tell you a story. One time, I tried to cook a stir-fry. Now, I'm not a particularly skilled chef, but I can usually manage to not burn the place down. This time, though? Disaster. The wok (which had to be the tiniest wok in existence, naturally) was too close to the smoke alarm. The smell of charred garlic filled the entire apartment in approximately 3.5 seconds. The smoke alarm went off. MY GOD the SMOKE ALARM. It was ear-splitting. I opened every window, fanning frantically, feeling like a contestant on a cooking show gone horribly wrong. I swear, the smoke alarm is still judging me from the ceiling. Lesson learned: stick to microwave popcorn and instant noodles. Oh, and the lack of storage is a killer.
And what about the BEST thing? Is there anything you LOVE?
Surprisingly, yes! Here's the thing: I'm a chronic overthinker. My brain's always buzzing. This tiny apartment? It forces you to be present. There's nowhere to hide. You can't just shove your problems under a mountain of… *stuff*. Everything is within arm's reach. It's oddly… calming. I'm not sure I *love* it every single day, but I appreciate the simplicity. And the low bills are INCREDIBLE. My utility bills are basically a joke. I can afford to, you know, actually enjoy life without being constantly stressed about money. That’s a big win.
The location – Bangyai. Is it actually convenient?
Okay, let's be real. Bangyai isn’t exactly the heart of the action. It's not the trendiest spot in Bangkok. But! The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is a HUGE game-changer. Getting into the city for work or fun is easy peasy. And there are plenty of local markets and street food vendors nearby, so you're not entirely cut off from the world. Plus, living outside the direct city center means the rent's way more reasonable, which I can honestly say makes all the difference. (Yes, I am a cheapskate, what of it?)
How did you prepare for downsizing your life to fit into 24sqm? Any tips?
PREPARATION! Don't be like me! I thought I could just *wing* it. BIG MISTAKE. Number one tip: declutter relentlessly. Like, Marie Kondo on steroids. If it doesn't spark joy (and it probably doesn't, let's be real), get rid of it. Consign, donate, sell. Secondly, optimize storage. Think vertical! Invest in shelves, over-the-door organizers, under-bed storage. Every square inch counts. Thirdly, and this is crucial: be realistic. You WILL have to make compromises. You won't be able to keep everything. It's a lesson in letting go. I still have a box of *stuff* in my friend's storage and everytime I see it, I cringe!
What's the deal with guests? Can you even have people over?
Yes, you *can* have guests. Technically. But it's like hosting a party in a phone booth. Intimate is an understatement. Two people? Comfortable. Three? Things get… interesting. Four? Forget about it. You're practically spooning. I tend to meet friends at cafes these days. It is not ideal for group gatherings or noisy parties, and definitely only suited to be a single-person space!
Is it good for work from home?
Surprisingly, yes! I WFH most of the time, and the dedicated desk space (that's not a typo, I *do* have a tiny desk) is surprisingly functional. The commute is a beast – I basically roll out of bed and I'm at "work". However, you need to be disciplined. It's easy to let work blur into your personal time when the office is also your bedroom and kitchen. I try to maintain a rigid schedule, or else I'd just live in my pajamas 24/7 and watch Netflix. Which, let’s be honest, is a very strong temptation.
Do you regret buying (or renting) it? Be honest.
Okay, the million-dollar question. Do I regret it? Honestly? Sometimes, yes. Especially after a particularly stressful day when I feel the walls closing in. But then I think about the rent I'm saving, the convenience of the location, and the freedom it gives me. The truth is I'm still figuring it out. It's a constant learning process, a daily exerciseHotels With Kitchen Near Me
