Container Gardenstay (集裝箱花園客棧) at Bangkok Village, Jalan Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru

The container concept is not a new concept today, I had seen it almost 8 years ago at Langkawi island, and of course through out the world. But this is the 'first' container garden stay in Johor Bahru! Where the containers are surrounded in the lush of green and I considered as a good place for weekend city escape!

Container Garden Stay (N1.55522 E103.80122) is located in the Bangkok Village of Johor Bahru. The area was a nice nursery and now converted into restaurant, garden and the above mentioned containers...

The check-in process was done in the minute by the friendly staffs, impressed. After we settled the rooms, I requested to walk-around the area for photography purpose...

A relax and comfort tea area next to the rooms...they provide good imported Chinese tea for their guests, too bad I'm not a Chinese tea lover and can't comment much...

In the middle of the both side, there's a nice corridor for all the rooms. As for me, this was a colourful corridor for photography!

The King's bedroom with the garden view. The attached bathroom is slightly wider and we understand that it's all in the container, we won't ask for much more bigger room space. :)

The dining area...

The dining area was transformed to a nice, comfort and relax area during the night fall...we had our dinner in the restaurant that evening and I'll blog about soon. Anyway, delicious food!

Beside that, they also serve local food for breakfast and lunch around the containers.

We had a pleasant stayed for 2 days 1 night weekend getaway! Experienced the container stay, which was just enough space for ourselves in the clean and comfortable environment! I will recommend to my friends who want to experience the relax and mind free staying!

Our package was breakfast included and car wash is provide if you drive.

It's a private area and whole Bangkok Village is lock after midnight, where the safety is concern. Please visit their facebook page for the latest promotion rate or visit the following online agents : expedia.com.my, booking.com and agoda.com
