Bangkok Hotels – Choosing the best one for your trip

Choosing a hotel in Bangkok is a hassle free job, as there are no dearths of good hotels in the city. There are wide ranges of Bangkok hotels in every corner of the city, at all popular locations. The hotels offer world-class hospitality and include both luxury and budget accommodation options.

If you want to experience luxurious living in Bangkok then you are welcome to stay in the Shangri – La Hotel Bangkok. This luxury hotel embraces international standard services along with royal hospitality. During your stay in this city you enjoy staying in some of the finest Bangkok hotels like, Conrad Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel, Grand Hyatt Erawan, and InterContinental Bangkok.

The budget hotels in Bangkok are ideal for spending your days in this city in a comfortable manner and at a much low rate. The rooms of the budget hotels are done up well and features the necessary amenities. The economy hotels like Plaza Hotel, Rex Hotel, Zenith Sukhumvit Hotel, and the Swiss Lodge are widely preferred by the guests.

Most of the hotels are within proximity to the city center. You can enjoy well-accessible transport facilities from each of them. Bangkok is well-connected to the major cities of Thailand. You can also visit the famous attractions of Bangkok such as Ancient City, Jim Thompson’s House, Lumphini Park, Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute, Vimanmek Teak Mansion, Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Kaew and Grand Palace.

The peak tourist season to visit Bangkok begins from December to August. During this period, city weather is neither too muggy nor too scorching. From November to February rain and high temperature are relatively less frequent than during the months from July to October.

Looking For A Good Place to Stay in Bangkok

The wide network of Bangkok hotels serve the visitors at its best. One can easily come across several different modes of accommodation ranging form five star hotels to fours star, three star, two star and bed and breakfast hotels. All these hotels in Bangkok are well suited to serve the need of all types of clients, either leisure or business travelers. Most of the hotels in Thailand are concentrated in the areas of Thonburi, Silom, Phahonyothin and Thonburi. There are some well known five star hotels that provide broad range of facilities and amenities. Recreational facilities, opulent accommodation facilities and top class business facilities are quite common in these luxury hotels. Bangkok is also famous for its in house restaurants that offer exquisite dining options in the form of global cuisines.If you want to stay at Kaosan road, you don’t even need to book in advance. You can just walk around to see the guesthouse you like, and then just walk in. They always have a vacancy.

If you prefer to stay in the city center in order to get around easily for shopping, (and let me tell you, Bangkok is shoppers’ paradise — Hong Kong isn’t cheap… but Bangkok is) then I suggest you check out Patumwan Princess hotel Bangkok. It’s right in the MBK shopping center (fake jeans, watches and bags) and also right at the Siam Square skytrain station. Grand Hyatt Erawan hotel Bangkok, Le Meridien and the Four Seasons hotel Bangkok are more luxurious. They’re right at the intersection where you can see Zen and Isetan shopping malls right across the street. The Siam Square (where they sell funky clothing) and the Chidlom (Central shopping mall) skytrain stations are within minutes away.

A lot of tourists like to stay at the Asia hotel Bangkok, which is right at a Rajdevi skytrain station (one station away from MBK shopping center). It may be cheap, but it’s kind of old. Well, very old actually. I don’t recommend it. But it’s totally up to you.

If you don’t care much about shopping in Bangkok, then I’d really suggest you stay at the Sukothai hotel Bangkok. It’s a classy and luxurious Thai-styled hotel –but you’ll have to take a taxi if you want to go anywhere. Or even better, stay by the Chao Phraya river if you can. It will give you a different feel of Bangkok, especially at night. It’s rather expensive though, especially if you want to stay at the world-renowned Oriental hotel Bangkok or the Peninsula hotel Bangkok. If these two are too expensive for you, try Shangri-la hotel Bangkok. It may be a little bit cheaper. And don’t forget to book a Bangkok river cruise dinner at your hotel. The Chao Praya river is glamorous at night — with a view of well-lit Wat Arun.

To get around town from your Bangkok hotel, you can ask the hotel’s doorman to help you get a taxi. It’s not expensive at all.
