Best hotels in Bangkok
“Best” here means the area that matches the trip, not a paid ranking. Takeotrip does not score hotels and does not publish a nightly rate.
Areas that work for a first trip
- Sukhumvit. The BTS line, food, and a practical base if you will go to several neighbourhoods. Asok and Phrom Phong are the usual stops.
- Silom and Sathorn. Quieter at night than the main Sukhumvit strip, still on the BTS, and close to the river boats.
- Old city and Khao San. Temples nearby. Louder, and a longer ride from Suvarnabhumi. Fine for a short stay if you want to walk to the palace.
- Riverside. The view is the point. Check the boat or taxi back at night before you treat it as central.
Airport and visa
Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the main long-haul airport. Don Mueang (DMK) is the other one. A hotel that is perfect for one can be a long ride from the other. Read the Thailand visa from India note before a non-refundable booking. Search rooms from the homepage hotel tab.
