Using of containers for commercial purposes  is trendy now especially in Bangkok ever since ArtBox started their container night market. And right now, there is even  a container hostel. Yes, you did not see wrongly, you will  really be sleeping in a container.

This is an eco-friendly building  because they recycle materials and make them useful again. The containers that you will be sleeping in are examples.

As mentioned earlier, you will be sleeping in a container. Don’t worry because they have included many other materials into the container so that you can really sleep in it without having to worry about the heat.

Sukhumvit 22 is located in the middle of BTS Asoke and Phrom Phong station, so with the new Tuk Tuk shuttle, you can get to BTS  Phrom Phong  with much ease.

Sleepbox Sukhumvit 22 just opened in May 2016 and  if I wasn’t informed that this was a hostel, I would have associated this place as a hotel because of the design, layout and service.  Since Sleepbox Sukhumit 22 is branded as a hostel, I will say that this is a high-end hostel!
