The Aloha House is in a lovely, secure community in Nonthaburi, a suburb of Bangkok. The community is very well planned and well maintained. The house is bigger than appears in the photos.

The kitchen/dining area is huge and open plan. The master bedroom is also very large and accomodated two adults and one child quite well, there are also two additional bedrooms on the 2nd floor which are both spacious with ensuite bathrooms. there is also a nice lounge on the 2nd floor.

The furnishings are lovely and the home has a homey, lived in feel. The cleaning done before our arrival was done in a hurry as we gave the owners very little notice (1 day) of our desire to book the property so considering that it was quite clean, but we had our helper do another cleaning of the bathrooms and kitchen before use.

The downstairs has an office/4th bedroom which came in handy as well, and maps in thai as well as the Thailand cell phone were indispensible. If you are going to stay here you do need to know some basic Thai to communicate the location to taxi drivers. You also need to take a taxi to get supplies as the stores are driving distance away.

The manager of the home arranged transportation for us at short notice and it was great, good drivers and a large van to take us in and out of Bangkok. We checked the rate with locals and they confirmed that we were getting a good rate. The manager was not too keen to come to the property to help us with anything, but fortunately we didn't need any assistance as the instructions in the manual provided were quite clear. The only thing no one could figure out was how to operate the oven, but that wasn't a very big deal.

Bangkok 'proper' is not very far away, but the traffic during rush hour is horrendous so if you stay in Nonthaburi take the river ferry or plan your trips outside rush hour.
