How we fell in love with Lemon Seed Rooms - Part 1 

In our first two or three visits to Bangkok we used to stay at a certain Indian hotel in the old district (Charoen Krung road, to be precise). They had an amazing restaurant which was open from 7 am to 11 pm, which was very good news for a couple of food lovers like us. However, we had to walk a kilometer to get to the sky train station (Saphan Taksin), and in traveling terms, an utter waste of 20 minutes. To make matters worse, Charoen Krung is partially a one-way road, so taxi drivers were always hesitant to take as there from wherever we visited. So after much consideration, we decided to abandon those tasty Naan Rotis and Biriyanis and decided to look for a new hotel. 

As a young couple on a budget, we had to consider way too many facts before making a decision, so the process of selecting a new hotel took 3 boring days. However, as always, Trip advisor came to our rescue, and my wife proudly announced her newfound heaven. 

‘Lemon Seed…’ she said. 

‘What?’ I asked. 

‘Lemon Seed Rooms. The name of the hotel.” she said, with a funny smile. 

That was the discovery of our home away from home in Bangkok. 

In May 2013, we first came to the Lemon Seed Rooms, and found out it was a little gem hidden in a little Soi off the Phetchaburi road. Pratunam, Nai Lert, Platinum, Pantip plaza, Ratchathewi sky train station; all these places were in the vicinity, just a few minutes walk away. There was a mini mart down the road (does not exist anymore), 2-3 Seven Elevens, and several food carts along the Phetchaburi road. 

We were chuffed! 

The hotel staff was very helpful, and the hotel was very peaceful. Rooms were big, clean, and comfortable. We had a good sleep, and then went for walk. Trust me; this was just the beginning of an amazing love story with Lemon Seed.
