Bangkok Tree House - Thailand

Nestled on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, in the green oasis of Bang Krachao, Bangkok Tree House accommodates guests in 12 sleeping units called “cozy nests” and named after insects. Built from local bamboo, glass, and recycled metal, these include stylish treehouses, a treetop bungalow, and the stunning View With a Room – a wall/ceiling-free sleeping platform elevated 7 m above mangrove palm trees. Another striking feature is the River Nest, which allows guests to spend the night on a floating bed right in the middle of the river. The hotel’s restaurant serves excellent organic food, including a variety of vegan dishes.

Next time you head over to Costa Rica you might want to stay in this hotel. Yes i said that right, this refurbished vintage 1965 Boeing 727 has been turned into a hotel for your relaxing needs.

At this height, you will enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from the hard wood deck built atop the plane’s former right wing. The plane’s interior is Costa Rican teak paneling from the cockpit to the tail. Furnishings are hand-carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia. Our 727 home features two air conditioned bedrooms–one with two queen sized beds and the other with one queen sized bed, each with its own private bath—a flat screen TV, a kitchenette, dining area foyer; an ocean view terrace; a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase; and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens.
