Reader question: Where to book a hotel in Bangkok?

Hi Linda,

It is difficult to advise you a hotel, because we do not know which places you want to visit and what price you want to pay. It is best to book a hotel not too far from a sky train station, then you can move quickly through Bangkok with a day ticket for about 3 euros. If you book something in Silom road you can also walk to the water taxi, with which you can easily reach the grand palace, wat arun, wat po for little money.

Success

hey linda

My husband and I have been coming to Thailand for 20 years and Bangkok is of course part of it.. fascinating city should not be missed when visiting Thailand.
Before answering your question.. we advise you to book a hotel along the Chao Phaya river..
some examples..Chatrium hotel..Millenium hilton hotel ..Anatara riversite hotel..Cheraton hotel these hotels class..
also have a boat service that is free to the Taksin Bridge .. from there you can leave with all kinds of other boats to beautiful sights .. or you take the Skytrain that is also there at the Taksin Bridge .. take a day pass costs pp 140 Bath and you can drive it around until midnight .. get off at a stop, walk around a bit and get back on the Skytrain to get off a bit further and explore .. Very nice experience that Skytrain.
1 more hotel along the Chao Phraga is the Mandarin Oriental hotel that is TOP but also expensive.. it's just a tip that I give you.. if you had to stay near that hotel.. if it had to fit in your schedule, certainly going to have lunch in that beautiful hotel is definitely worth it.
If you have any questions you can always reach me at my email address.
Have fun with your search..and a Fantastic journey..to this FANTASTIC country
greetings brigitte and eddy

Linda As several people have already pointed out, I think it's important that you book a hotel near the BTS as otherwise you'll need a lot of time to get anywhere. If you have not yet decided what you want to visit, I would say right in the center: Rama I (IBIS or Mercure Siam) or one of the side streets, such as Soi 1 Kasem san 1 (guesthouses). In June it is rainy season and there is plenty to do in the vicinity of the Rama I. Have fun with your search.

I would say: Rambuttri villa.
Affordable, in the nicest neighborhood of Bangkok, yet sleep without noise
Within walking distance of the water taxi that takes you everywhere!
Pleasure!

Our favorite Hotel is the Prince Palace Hotel Quietly located, but next to the canal where the water taxi will drop you off in the center of the center for 8 bath, 21 cents within ten minutes, a 15-minute walk after Chinatown and a 15-minute walk to Kao SanRoad. booking with a Dutch travel agency Greenwood travel that is also in the hotel, never sit in the center a lot of noise and everything is much more expensive,

The Best
Indeed BANGKOK is very big you have many reasonable hotels between soi 6 and soi 23 on Sukhumvit road
That is the best central part with many possibilities within walking distance.
I am also there that period…..have a nice trip in the Paradys

My advice is to stay on the right side of the river in terms of hotel. I sat on the other side once and it hindered me a bit. I would like to leave my hotel in the evening and be in a busier area for good food, markets and fun entertainment areas. I like to sleep on a higher floor in terms of noise, which can sometimes cause problems due to the single-glazed windows. I think there are some excellent options mentioned by previous governors. I don't think there really is a perfect place. Sailing is a nice option. However, you do have to pay attention to what you are doing and what all those other boat customers are doing when getting on and off. The BTS and the MRT are convenient, but during the day outside rush hour, a taxi is also an excellent solution. You see more of the surroundings than zooming around in the air or underground. Oh, is the flower market? or what is this again? On the way back, pass by there and then continue or just stop!! I want to take a look here. In my experience, older Tuktuk drivers are also an option and will drive you for a reasonable price without any hassle. Often located in the side streets. And yes, I sometimes have problems with the transport drivers, but usually things go well for me. Usually I have a lot of fun and I don't really have that feeling with the BTS or MRT even though it is very efficient. But there is more to see in Bangkok than the tourist hotspots that are in all kinds of booklets or that can be seen at 1 on a trip where we tourists all race to. I walk quite a lot and yes, it is often a bit on the warm side and I don't really make any progress, but I don't want to miss the experiences. But I travel alone and maybe that makes me look at the tourist scene in Bangkok a little differently. You should certainly not avoid hotspots, but there is more.

We arrived in Bangkok on April 13 and are staying at Tara Place. Good hotel with excellent service. Sitting near the boat taxi, royal palace at 20 minutes walking distance. We are very satisfied with this choice.

At koasanroad, try New Siam who have 4 hotels all close together in different price ranges. I have been going every year for years and always book there
