Best Hotels in Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand’s capital and the pulse of Southeast Asia. Built along the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok used to get around on a network of canals, earning it the nickname “Venice of the East.” In Bangkok, you’ve got glittering temples like Wat Arun and Wat Pho sitting right next to shiny skyscrapers and giant malls like IconSiam.

Bangkok Events & Activities

Bangkok has huge, popular events that draw visitors all year. The Songkran Festival (Thai New Year) is held every April and is one of the most fun cultural experiences. Tomorrowland—one of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals—hosts its first Asian edition near Bangkok, with top DJs and massive stages. BTS also brings their world tour to Bangkok, and many international pop stars hold sold-out shows at Impact Arena and Rajamangala Stadium.

Getting to and Around Bangkok

So, you’re headed to Bangkok—awesome choice! Getting there is pretty easy since the city’s got two airports: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK).

• Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is the main one, located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) southeast of the city center. It’s where most international flights land. It’s shiny, modern, and well-organized, with loads of shops, cafes, and lounges. If you’re flying in from Europe, North America, or anywhere long-haul, this is probably where you’ll arrive. It has added a new satellite terminal and more flight gates, plus faster immigration lanes to make arrivals quicker.
• Don Mueang Airport (DMK) is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of downtown Bangkok and handles mostly budget airlines like AirAsia and Nok Air. It now uses automatic passport check machines to cut waiting time, and has updated rest areas and more dining choices.

If you’re catching a red-eye flight, I suggest staying near Suvarnabhumi Airport for convenience. These hotels offer free shuttle services to and from the airport, making those early mornings or late arrivals much easier.

Final Bangkok Hotels Booking Tips

• Lock in key peak seasons and make reservations in advance: From November to February of the following year, it is the cool season in Bangkok (with an average temperature of 25-30℃), which is a peak travel period. Especially during the Christmas holiday in December and before the Songkran Festival in Thailand in January, reservations should be made 4 to 6 months in advance. In addition, during the Bangkok International Motor Show in August and the Thailand Tourism Festival in October every year, hotel prices in the city center will increase by ~30% to 50%.
• Give priority to choosing high cost-performance areas around transportation hubs Avoid the premium in crowded tourist areas such as Siam Square and Khao SAN Road. You can choose the middle section of Sukhumvit Road (from Asok to Phrom Phong Station), which is close to the BTS SkyTrain and within walking distance of Terminal 21. The price of hotels with the same facilities is ~20% lower than that in Siam District. Or around the Ratchada Train Night Market, close to the Thailand Cultural Centre Station of the MRT Blue Line, it is convenient for night food and shopping, and most of the hotels are local-style boutique hotels.
• Trip.com exclusive offer: New users who book hotels in Bangkok through the APP and use the promo code can enjoy a 8% discount on their first order.
