After a decade of little enthusiasm, Bangkok has been going through a absolute hotel-building boom during the last couple of years. Particularly in the midrange and top-end, where even the Millennium Hilton was finally finished, fresh properties have been challenging to outdo each other and the established dames. And Thai designers have given the accommodating midrange fans several new options that sit firmly in the chic, urbane 21st century. Bangkok is house to some of the best hotels in the world.
Like the city itself, Bangkok’s accommodation is increase far and wide. Your options are modern Sukhumvit, the industry center around Silom, the scenic riverside, the backpacker commune of Banglamphu, the shopping area around Siam Sq, or lively Chinatown. To catch a feel for which neighborhood you might fancy before you reserve. And remember, Bangkok traffic can be almost apocalyptic...so if you can be close to the Skytrain, Metro or river ferry you’ll save time.
If money is your main concern, then there’s a good possibility you’ll end up on or near the well-known Th Khao San backpacking Mecca. Th Silom and Th Sukhumvit cater mostly to midrange and top-end budgets. Interesting choices in the low end of the midrange can be found in Siam Sq, Ko Ratanakosin and Chinatown.
The greatest way to get a discount is to book online. Without a doubt, you’re likely to pay significantly more if you just walk into a top-end hotel. The best moment for discounts is outside Bangkok’s peak season, November to March and July and August. Discounts can also be had through Thai travel agencies or at Bangkok’s airport hotel desks. With few exceptions, Bangkok accommodation wishes you to check in at 2pm and check out at noon.
