Green Comment:

The Old Bangkok Inn provides a personal touch. Furnished with Thai golden teak, each bedroom in this historic building has been individually restored to create its own special atmosphere, combining traditional elegance with modern amenities.TA "Green Hotel", the Old Bangkok Inn is a fully non-smoking establishment. The philosophy is to provide first class hospitality and service while working to reduce our impact on the community and on the environment. At OBI, we are committed to reducing our impact on our community and on the environment; our mission is to provide the art of hospitality within a model for urban ecology by observing the “three R’s” philosophy of Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. The Old Bangkok Inn is a fully non-smoking establishment and one of the few "Green Hotels" in Bangkok. OBI conserves water: eco-friendly hotels are water-friendly hotels; at OBI we use low-flow showerheads as well as low-flow/dual flush toilets. OBI conserves energy: at OBI we use energy-efficient appliances and energy-efficient lighting. Moreover, in order to minimize energy usage, we have designed our building so that we can use daylight for as much of each day as possible and installed in-room sensors to shut down all lights and appliances when guests leave the room. OBI uses solar energy: all the hot water used at OBI comes from our solar water heater system. We estimate that OBI consumes 25% less energy as a result of our greater reliance on solar power. OBI recycles and reduces waste: we encourage all our guests to recycle paper, aluminum cans, plastic and glass by providing recycle bins in every room. OBI is also committed to reducing waste by buying bulk and reducing packaging. OBI supports social causes: Through our "Support the Community Initiative" guests staying at the OBI are kindly encouraged to contribute US$1 per room per night to one of our designated philanthropic partners; the Old Bangkok Inn will match the contribution dollar for dollar. Guest by guest, dollar by dollar we hope to increase awareness for the less fortunate in Thailand, as well as give back to the community we so heavily rely upon.
