    A tranquil old house by the canal transported from 100 years ago with modern facilities added. Close to MRT station. Was suggested to get a haircut around the corner which was fun.

veena Mahasith
The idea of opening a house as a temporary accommodation for travelers who love old buildings and the atmosphere of Thonburi became gradually clearer as the renovation of his two-storey house progressed. During the restoration, we discovered many stories related to the House and the people who lived here, some by word of mouth, some through research, and others in the traces of evidence left to be seen in the fabric of the building. All of these create an ever-deeper connection with this House. Opening the House of ‘neil niwas’ to welcome the travelers is the pride of Mahasith family and is considered as a small step to pass on the architecture of houses from era to era (1890-present), from generation to generation. Although the building has been expanded and modified to meet the changing needs of its inhabitants, it retains most of its original structure. Sympathetic and limited alterations have resulted in it being able to stand gracefully for more than 130 years, relatively unscathed by the effects of time.
