Bangkok is a vibrant and modern metropolis which draws in many travelers with its inimitable mixture of tradition and modernity. Its countless temples, shopping centres and famous leisure venues draw millions of international travelers every year, thereby making it an attractive all-round destination.
Prior to getting down to discover this city and its different attractions, it would be prudent to search for a hotel in Bangkok that best suits your budget and purpose of visit - be it for business or pleasure. I shall now proceed to guide you in selecting the right hotels for your specific preference and budget.
You would be delighted to learn that in Bangkok, hotels usually offer competitive value, no matter which price category you are looking at. This is essentially because of the attractive exchange rate of the Thai Baht compared to your home currency, which means that you would be able to book a mid-range hotel with a 3- to 4-star rating for a similar rate as a 2-star hotel in the West.
Hotels of various price categories can be found across the city, making it convenient to look for suitable accommodation regardless of which part of the city you choose to be your base. In particular, budget hotels, that are usually found further from the city centre in other urban areas, can be easily found close to the hustle and bustle in the middle of Bangkok. This makes it particularly attractive to travelers on a tight budget, as it saves you money to indulge in other activities such as shopping and clubbing which are two of the main attractions of this dynamic city.
Moreover, you are also more likely to encounter excellent service and a slew of modern facilities and perks such as free daily breakfast, flat screen TVs in your guestroom, business services and fitness centres, among others, making these hotels truly value for money. In general, hotels here offer lower room rates during the off-season which runs from March through November. I shall now offer some recommendations on where you can stay in Bangkok depending on your budget.
Travelers who would like to relishes a stay in a deluxe 5-star hotel in a central location should choose the Sukhumvit district, which is placed right in the heart of Bangkok and hosts various brand-name worldwide hotel chains and boutique hotels.
By staying here, you are in close proximity to numerous international restaurants and clubbing places which draw in a diverse crowd of well off Thais and expatriates, which lends a global flavour to the nightlife scene here. Other than being able to enjoy the high life in this area, you are also able to readily get to other areas of Bangkok as a result of its centrally-accessible location.
While there are numerous less expensive budget hotels scattered all across Bangkok, including in the high-end Sukhumvit and Silom districts, the best known district frequented by budget travelers and backpackers is Khaosan Road. In this area you can find a variety of budget accommodationslodgings that ranges from guesthouses with the most basic amenities to decent 3-star hotels. The prevalent presence of pubs, restaurants and clubs, that are tailored to the needs of budget-conscious travelers, exude a casual ambiance while offering affordable dining and leisure in the district.
To get to different parts of Bangkok from your hotel, you have various alternatives in the form of cabs / Tuk Tuk, the rail network, river transport and buses. However, I recommend utilizing the rail system, which consists of the Sky Train (BTS) and Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) as they can take you around the city and to the main tourist hotspots in a cheap, clean and efficient manner.
