BKK to AIRBNB │ Suvarnabhumi to Tierra Residences!

Home Away From Home

We picked you up again as we disembarked from MH774. After a quick potty break, we headed straight to Immigration. Ten minutes later, we were stamped in and made our way to Carousel 19. Another ten minutes passed before our yellow submarines finally appeared, and with that, we exited the airport.

A week earlier, we had arranged an airport transfer with our Airbnb hosts. We were instructed to wait at Gate 7, where our driver, Sammei, would pick us up for a fixed fare of THB700 (≈ MYR93/USD21/EUR19).

We reached Gate 7 at 6:40pm, and Sammei arrived ten minutes later. The drive took about forty minutes, and we reached our Airbnb — Tierra Residences — at 7:30pm. We paid the agreed fare, plus a little extra.

Tierra Residences, Phra Kanong

Conveniently located between Soi Sukhumvit 40 and 42, Tierra Residences sits in a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood — exactly what we wanted for this trip.

The property offers a saltwater swimming pool, fitness centre, sun terrace, open air bath, restaurant, bar, and free Wi Fi throughout. There’s also a family friendly restaurant serving Chinese, American, Thai, and international cuisines for brunch, lunch, dinner, high tea, and cocktails.

Check in was straightforward. We collected our key card and headed up to the fifth floor. The unit was well appointed — bed linen, towels, two flat screen TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, and a balcony. The proper desk and work chair were a huge plus, especially for editing our videos.

Exploring Our New Base

The next day, we continued our review of the property and visited the swimming pool, courtyard, and gym on the ground floor. Everything was clean, quiet, and well maintained — exactly the kind of environment we needed.

For RM221 per night (≈ USD50/EUR46), we felt it was excellent value. Comfortable, cosy, peaceful — and with hosts like Jay and his team who were incredibly helpful and welcoming — Tierra Residences truly felt like a home away from home for our seven night stay.

What’s Next

Stay tuned — next, we take our first stroll in Bangkok.
