Face Bar is the name of this caravanserai, a place where you can socialize in the great tradition of resting places for traders, as in the silk route. The camel has given way to the boat and the plane but the needs of regular travelers do not change. A warm welcome, a secure stopping place and opportunity to talk, relax and drink, with friends and fellow traders is still all-important.
More than a place to rest for the the traveler, Face Bar is a jewel of Thai wooden architecture amidst Bangkok concrete jungle.
The teak dwellings compound offers an interesting image of how modernity can benefit from traditional aesthetics and solutions. The torch lid wooden deks lead the visitors amid luxuriant vegetation and watertanks harbouring placid giant fishes to the different areas of the compound.
Contemporary needs are fulfilled by modern means whilst never endangering the harmony and peace developed and perfected by a milenary experience of transforming Teak hardwood into comfortable dwelings.
As in an inn on the ancient silk route, Face Bar offers the comfort of some raised Chinese opium beds and other artefacts and antiques while contemporary Chinese paintings are introducing an interesting dialogue about a possible harmony between modernity and tradition... Some food for thoughts.

...or just the weight of ordinary urban business.
