Which Bangkok Hotel To Choose?
Going to Bangkok? Feeling overwhelmed with hotel choices? Well,
don't be.
Here are some great Bangkok hotels we recommend based on your
budget:
8,000-9,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- THE ORIENTAL HOTEL - One of the world's premier hotels. The
oldest hotel in Bangkok on the bank of Chao Phraya River. Nice
colonial-style architecture. Not in the city center though.
7,000-8,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- THE PENINSULA BANGKOK HOTEL - High reviews, world awards. On
the bank of the Chao Phraya River, but on the farther island.
Free hotel's shuttle boat service takes you to BTS skytrain.
- SUKOTHAI HOTEL - Beautiful contemporary Thai architecture in
beautiful landscaped garden. A bit far from shopping areas but
worth the beauty.
- FOUR SEASONS HOTEL BANGKOK - Right in front of BTS skytrain.
The name guarantees the luxury. Close to most shopping malls.
6,000-7,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- GRAND HYATT ERAWAN - Stunning garden spa. Very close to BTS
skytrain. High-end shopping right below the hotel and just
across the street.
- THE BANYAN TREE BANGKOK - One of the newest hotels in Bangkok.
The tallest hotel building in Bangkok. Exceptional spa and
massage.
5,000-6,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- SHERATON GRANDE SUKUMVIT - Beautiful Thai/Bali style swimming
pool garden with soothing underwater music. Right at BTS
skytrain.
- SHANGRI-LA HOTEL - On the bank of Bangkok's Chao Phraya River.
Nice pool, nice view. But don't try the hotel's Angelini Italian
restaurant though.
4,000-5,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- CONRAD HOTEL BANGKOK - Contemporary hotel for modern
lifestyle. A bit of walking to do to get to BTS skytrain.
Traffic is always horrible right in front of the hotel.
- PLAZA ATHENEE HOTEL - Nice and
close to BTS skytrain. But the
hotel's name might cause pronunciation problem between you and
local taxi driver. Bring the hotel's business card and the road
name in Thai with you.
3,000-4,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- MARRIOTT RESORT AND SPA - Right on the bank of Bangkok's Chao
Phraya River. Very much like a secluded and relaxing resort. Not
in the city center, but free shuttle boat to BTS station makes
it all fine.
- NAI LERT PARK, RAFFLES INTERNATIONAL HOTEL - Lush garden with
peaceful atmosphere. Within walking distance from BTS skytrain
and shopping malls.
- TRIPLE TWO SILOM HOTEL - Nice boutique hotel with contemporary
Asian design. At night, enjoy Silom Road's street market.
2,000-3,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- PATUMWAN PRINCESS HOTEL - Great location, but always under
renovation. Right inside MBK Shopping Center. Try the hotel's
Japanese+Korean buffet lunch at Konju restaurant, only
$25/person.
- SOFITEL SILOM - Cozy boutique hotel in Bangkok. Few steps off
the night market on Silom road. Near BTS skytrain.
1,000-2,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- BUDDY LODGE KHAO SAN ROAD - Nice hotel in the world-famous
Khao San Road area. Good for backpacker with more budget. Ask
for a quiet room. Khao San could get noisy at night.
500-1,000 BAHT A NIGHT:
- ROYAL RIVER HOTEL - On the bank of Bangkok's Chao Phraya
River. Quite difficult to get into the city. Big room for small
price. You also get free breakfast buffet.
At the time of this writing, US$1 = 40 Thai Baht. You can check
