Accommodation In Bangkok

There are literally thousands of places to stay in Bangkok with something for every budget, number of guests and occasion.

From the world famous Oriental Hotel to $5 guest houses in Khao Sarn road; Bangkok has it all.

When looking at the types of accommodation in Bangkok you obviously need to know your budget but it's also a good idea to think about what you'll be doing and where you'll be going as well s how you intend getting about.

Some of "the best" hotels in Bangkok are located next to the river and whilst this makes for a nice location and some great views, it is not always the best place to be for getting about. Few river hotels are close to the Skytrain or Underground system meaning you'll be stuck with taxis or tuk tuks and with Bangkok known for its traffic jams, this should be avoided at rush hour.

Guest houses are probably more for the back packer and generally found around the Khao Sarn road area, but don't let that put some of you off because the standard of guest house in Bangkok has improved dramatically and whilst guest houses like that seen in the movie "The Beach" exist, many have upgraded themselves to attract wealthier and pickier guests.
