Pathumwan Princess Hotel

The resort and its setting

The Pathumwan Princess is an independent, exchange-affiliated property in Pathum Wan, one of Bangkok's busiest and most central districts. It's integrated with the MBK Center shopping mall at 444 Phaya Thai Road, so owners and guests step straight from the lobby into hundreds of shops, food stalls and cinemas without stepping outside. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 out of 5 from over 11,500 reviews, and the official description highlights its Italian and Korean restaurants, a spa, and a rooftop cocktail bar with a terrace — details that line up with the kind of amenities travellers actually mention when they stay here. This is a city hotel first and foremost, not a beach or golf resort, which shapes who it suits as a timeshare property.

The area and things to do

Pathum Wan is about as central as Bangkok gets. The National Stadium BTS station is on the doorstep, putting Siam Square, Siam Paragon, and the wider Siam shopping district within a few minutes' ride. Chulalongkorn University and Jim Thompson House — the famous silk merchant's teak home turned museum — are both close by, as is Lumpini Park for anyone wanting green space and a break from the traffic. From this base, the Chao Phraya River, Chinatown, and the old-city temple district are all reachable by taxi or a combination of sky-train and river boat. It's a location built for exploring the city on foot and by public transport rather than one that depends on a shuttle bus.

Selling or renting a week here

If you're an owner at the Pathumwan Princess and thinking about selling your week on, a private resale through BidMyTimeshare.com works like this: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — you simply pay a one-off listing fee to advertise it. This keeps more of the proceeds in your pocket compared with a brokered resale, but it also means you handle the buyer conversations and the paperwork yourself, with the resort's owners' association or management company handling the actual transfer once a price is agreed.

Because the resort's transfer fee, annual maintenance fee, and any right of first refusal aren't published figures here, any seller or buyer should get these confirmed in writing directly from the Pathumwan Princess ownership office before a sale goes through. Ask specifically: what the current transfer fee is, what the annual maintenance fee covers and how it's billed, whether the resort or its association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once paperwork is submitted. A resale buyer should also confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week — the usage rights themselves, and whether the Interval International exchange affiliation (which is verified for this resort) carries over to a new owner, since exchange company membership sometimes needs to be set up separately by the buyer.

Renters looking at this resort are typically after a Bangkok city break rather than a resort holiday — they want proximity to shopping, transport links, and restaurants, and the mall-and-sky-train location is the headline selling point when you advertise a week for rent.

Practical notes

Address for reference: 444 Phaya Thai Rd, Khwaeng Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330, Thailand. The resort's own website carries further details on facilities and current services. Given the central, built-up setting, owners renting out a week should flag to guests that this is a city hotel experience — shopping, dining and transport links rather than resort grounds or a beach.
