Book a hotel in Bangkok

Finding the perfect place to stay in Bangkok can be part of the adventure, whether you are looking for a luxurious high-rise with city views or a cosy guesthouse tucked away on a quiet street. To help you navigate the city's diverse accommodation options and secure your ideal base, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know for a comfortable and convenient stay.

Discover a city where ancient traditions meet modern energy. Bangkok buzzes with life, offering a sensory journey unlike any other. Explore its ornate temples, from the revered Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya River to the majestic Grand Palace, home to the Emerald Buddha. Navigate the bustling street markets, where you can sample delicious street food and find unique souvenirs, or perhaps take a longtail boat ride through the *khlongs* (canals) for a different perspective.

Beyond its historical sites and vibrant markets, Bangkok is renowned for its dynamic culinary scene and lively nightlife. Whether you prefer a luxurious high-rise hotel offering panoramic city views or a boutique guesthouse tucked away in a quiet street, you will find a comfortable base for your adventures. Plan your stay to immerse yourself in the city's infectious atmosphere and diverse cultural experiences.

For a first-time visit, the Sukhumvit Road area is often the most popular choice for hotels in Bangkok, offering excellent transport links and a wide range of accommodation.

Sukhumvit stretches for several miles and is a commercial and residential hub. Here you will find modern hotels, from budget-friendly guesthouses to luxury high-rises. It is well-connected by the BTS Skytrain, making it easy to reach other parts of the city. The area is known for its shopping centres, such as Terminal 21, and its lively atmosphere, particularly in the evenings.

The Riverside area offers a different experience, with many premium hotels boasting views of the Chao Phraya River. This is a quieter, more sophisticated option. From here, you can easily access historic sites like Wat Arun and the Grand Palace via river taxis. Many hotels in this area provide boat services to Sathorn Pier, connecting you to the BTS Skytrain at Saphan Taksin station.

For those interested in nightlife and street food, Silom is a central business district that transforms after dark. Accommodation here ranges from mid-range hotels to serviced apartments. Key landmarks include Lumpini Park, a large green space perfect for relaxation, and the King Power MahaNakhon skyscraper. Silom is served by both the BTS Skytrain and MRT Metro, offering convenient city-wide access.

When considering a hotel, proximity to BTS Skytrain or MRT Metro stations is key for navigating Bangkok. These transport networks also connect to the airports. From Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), the Airport Rail Link takes you to Phaya Thai station, where you can transfer to the BTS Skytrain. For Don Mueang Airport (DMK), shuttle buses connect to BTS Mo Chit or MRT Chatuchak Park stations, providing routes across the city.

Finding a cheap hotel in Bangkok is easy if you know how to look. Consider staying outside the main tourist areas like Sukhumvit or Siam. Neighbourhoods such as Ari, Phaya Thai, or Ladprao often offer better value, with excellent transport links via the BTS Skytrain or MRT underground. Booking your accommodation during the low season, from May to October, also presents significant savings, as this coincides with Thailand's monsoon season when tourist numbers are lower. Many hotels offer promotions during this period, even for more central locations.

Another great way to save money is to explore hotels near a local *khlong* (canal) instead of just the major roads. These areas often have charming guesthouses and boutique hotels that are more affordable, offering a unique local experience. Plus, you can use the khlong boats for a cheap and quick way to get around, avoiding traffic and adding a touch of adventure to your stay.
