Bangkok is a beloved destination for those who wish to shop to their heart’s content during their stay. With gems such as the Chatuchchak Market, and numerous malls such as Siam Paragon and MBK, one can never have too much time to spend indulging in retail therapy. Bangkok is also replete with religious and cultural sites such as Wat Pho and Wat Arun as well as the iconic Grand Palace. It is, therefore, no surprise that the city attracts a wide variety of visitors, from businessmen and tourists to backpackers.
Facilitating a visit on almost any budget are the numerous accommodation options in the city, for, whether you seek hotel rooms, hostels or serviced apartments in Bangkok, the city usually delivers. Therefore, before you search for suitable accommodation, it is imperative that a rough budget is made. It is helpful to look at things such as convenience of travel, and the places you wish to frequent during your stay. For instance, travellers opting to reside in Pratunam will have the distinct advantage of taking the Bangkok Sky Train directly from the airport to the hotel with minimal hassle. On the other hand, for those who seek to backpack, the best accommodation can be found in Khao San from where it is easy to visit tourist attractions such as the Golden Mount and the Democracy Monument. However, for visitors with discerning tastes and deeper pockets, a hotel by the Bangkok Riverside would perhaps be more ideal. Those who seek a more cosmopolitan experience, on the other hand, are more likely to be satisfied with staying in the Sukhumvit area, in a resort such as Anantara Baan Rajprasong Bangkok Serviced Suites. Similarly, if sampling the local food takes your fancy, consider residing in Chinatown which is home to some of the best street food in Thailand.
Therefore, each district is the best place to stay for one reason or the other– it is up to the traveller to select which district serves their purposes the most when choosing accommodation in Bangkok.
