The Ultimate Guide on where to stay in Bangkok.

When I tell people two of my favorite cities in the world they are always surprised because one is Marrakech and the other one is Bangkok. For someone who spends a lot of time on a beach, underwater or trekking with stray kittens through a jungle, Bangkok may seem a surprising answer but the truth is I am a big city girl at heart.

Bangkok and I had a slow start and only when convenience made me go, I fell deeply in love with the city. With that said, I have returned so many times and thought it was high time to write a comprehensive city guide with all my favorite spots where to stay in Bangkok. 

Sure, I won’t be the first to bring you a guide on where to stay in Bangkok but I dare say that I have spent more time than the average non-expat here and have explored some corners of the city in depth. As per usual you won’t get an objective guide here but rather personal recommendations for my favorite apartments, guesthouses, and hotels in Bangkok – all tried and tested by yours truly.

If you want to save you should consider summer the best season to travel to Bangkok. And once you have tried the hotel brekkie, you can find some amazing breakfast spots in Bangkok here.

One night in… A 24-hours Bangkok Itinerary

Where to stay in Bangkok – My favorite areas & Hotels

Bangkok Airport HOtel

While most international flights arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport, many others and the majority of domestic flights use Don Mueang. It is a pretty nice airport and I use it frequently when arriving from other places in Southeast Asia or traveling with AirAsia within Thailand. 

That said, it is quite a drive to get to town and the public transport from Don Mueang is not ideal. Chances are if you are arriving very late, leaving very early, or have a night-long layover because you have decided that going from Koh Lipe to Koh Tao in one day was a wise idea, you will want a Bangkok airport hotel. Luckily I have just the place for you… 

Amari Don Muang Airport

I discovered the Amari Don Muang Airport a few years ago and couldn’t love its location more. In between terminals 1 and 2 you will see its signage and take the elevator up. From there you walk through a covered bridge to the hotel on the other side of the highway. You are so close to the airport and don’t have to worry about taxis, traffic, or uncomfortable sidewalks with your luggage – it is breezy. 

The hotel has a variety of different room categories and while the interior is a tad bit dated, rooms are comfortable and spacious. Especially if you don’t like the usually hard Thai beds, the Amari will be a welcome difference – luckily they do offer wake-up calls as well. And if you happen to oversleep – have I mentioned just how close the hotel is to the airport?!

The hotel has a big courtyard with a pool if you don’t arrive too late as well as two restaurants. I had dinner at the Corner and was pleasantly surprised by the food and the more-than-fair prices. Definitely order the Tom Yam Goong with river prawns! 

Breakfast starts at 6 am but if you have a very early flight the hotel will provide a take-away box for you, or just a coffee to-go in my case.

Where to stay in Sukhumvit

Many people research where to stay in Bangkok and they come up with Sukhumvit. That is the place to be, downtown Bangkok, where the expats and cool kids hang out. While that is somewhat true, it is also confusing as heck because Sukhumvit is first and foremost a road. This road starts in Bangkok and goes to Cambodia and is almost 500 km long.

Even if we just focus on the most famous Bangkok part, we are still talking about a stretch from Nana to Bearing, approximately 11 km long. 

With that, it is not surprising that Sukhumvit is super diverse and the main area runs from Soi 1 to Soi 63 (the streets and little roads going off from Sukhumvit) which is a loong stretch. Personally, I find it hard to call it one of Bangkok’s neighborhoods and so I won’t. Especially because the different parts are so different. 

But fact is, Sukhumvit does offer great public transport as the BTS line runs along the main road. At the beginning you will find Lower Sukhumvit with some slightly seedy areas like Nana, followed by Asok before you head to the golden shopping triangle and get to Upper Sukhumvit. Here you will find Thonglor and Ekkemai, two favorite and very cool areas in Bangkok before prices start to sink. Anything behind Ekkemai is a good choice if you want to save money but still be connected to the Sukhumvit line. 

Keep that in mind if you are looking for accommodation in Sukhumvit. As long as you are close-ish to a BTS stop, you will be absolutely fine. 

Public House Bangkok

Public House Bangkok is a Member of Design Hotels and a truly great design hotel in Bangkok without breaking the bank. It is also located on my favorite street, Sukhumvit 31, with easy access to the BTS, Emquartier, Emsphere, cool restaurants, and shops in the neighborhood. 

The interior is a bit retro, a bit modern, and very cool without trying too hard. Rooms are spacious to say the least, though you will have to forgo giant bathtubs and such – it is a true city hotel at heart. Make sure to get a room with a city view – while the building isn’t too tall, the views are great. 

Downstairs, you will find a coworking/lounge space, bar, and restaurant, and there is another eatery on the rooftop as well as a small pool. Again, this is not a resort hotel but rather a perfectly central option for those who want to explore Bangkok. That said, the food is rather good, as are the cocktails (and you get a free welcome drink!) and I also really enjoyed my room service meal.

House 33

House 33 is around the corner from my favorite Sukhumvit 31 and is a great option if you want a more homey feel. It is a little on the pricier side when you are staying by yourself, but technically, it has two double beds with room for four. 

The whole apartment has a loft feel and is super airy and light. That said, if you are not traveling on your own, there is very little privacy. Perfect though for solo travelers and couples! It has a spacious dining area, microwave, and fridge, as well as a pantry where the kitchen sink is. There is also a sitting area, the aforementioned two beds, and a small bathroom. 

You access the flat over a little, somewhat riggedy spiral staircase and an electronic keypad. Win, the owner, is super lovely and very helpful with tips for the apartment as well as the area. You can walk to the BTS and Emquartier, and there are plenty of little cute restaurants, Green Room Yoga and Soho House Bangkok close by. You can also walk to Maison Ysea, one of my favorite Bangkok spas, as well as a Wine Connection and, of course, 7-Eleven.

Volve

Volve is one of my favorite boutique hotels in Thonglor and the perfect stylish refugee if you are staying in this hip part of town. What do I love about it? The design is modern and sleek yet somehow earthy. You are overlooking lots of trees from huge windows, great if you need a break from all that concrete jungle.

They have a variety of room categories, including a studio suite and a two-bedroom suite that also has a separate living room. All rooms have a desk and/ or a couch. There is also a free minibar with Thai snacks and an awesome breakfast included. Otherwise, you can have a meal or treat at the Herringbone Cafe downstairs.

Nidhra Boutique

Want to stay at a really cool boutique hotel in Bangkok without the hefty price tag? You will have to venture a little further along Sukhumvit to find it but wow – welcome to Nidhra Boutique Hotel! 

I have ranted about calling Sukhumvit one area to stay in Bangkok and you will know what I mean when you are staying at Nidhra. While it is technically on Sukhumvit Soi 48 so very much in the middle of Sukhumvit, it feels distinctly local and a bit far… However, that is actually not true as you can walk to the BTS in less than ten minutes and are at Emquartier in another ten.

Still, local it is so if you are after glitz and glamour this might not be the neighborhood for you, but I loved it. There is a do-it-yourself laundromat around the corner, a great and inexpensive Japanese restaurant called Uma, a tiny food market with crab fried rice, a superb pizza place called Grano di Pa, and of course, a 7-Eleven. 

Nidhra itself is modern and concrete, a style not everyone loves, but that I personally really like. Rooms are sleek yet cozy and while I realized I basically booked a room without a window, I didn’t mind. It was still light and airy somehow. 

Service is also incredibly nice and attentive. Downstairs they have a restaurant/ coffee shop/ bar and the prices are amazing. You can get a pad krapao for 80 baht and a glass of red for 150 baht! They also have a good craft beer selection, happy hour, and best of all – you can basically do your own room service and eat in your room if you want. Honestly, the food was really good and I have never seen such good value-for-money hotel restaurant prices.

Shama Serviced Apartments

If you need a bit more space and some more creature comforts, check out Shama, a company that offers serviced apartments in Bangkok. 

They have various properties all over town with different amenities for short and long-term travelers. Whether you need some more space and a kitchen because you are traveling with children, want a cute studio for you and your pup, or looking for a home away from home for a long-term rental, they got the right property for you.

And unlike Airbnb or such they are professionally managed and run like a hotel when it comes to amenities, security and service. You can even ask them to stock the fridge for you and of course, your apartment will be serviced daily. In addition, they all have a generously sized pool as well as a gym.

MUU Bangkok Hotel

I stayed at MUU Bangkok Hotel when it was still known as the Akyra Thonglor. It is still the perfect choice for an intimate, modern city hotel in Bangkok. All the rooms are modern and come in gorgeous jewel tones, free water is served in glass bottles, and the wifi is great (always important for me!). Since Thonglor can get quite busy and loud, I recommend you ask for a room on a higher floor for more peace and quiet. An additional highlight is their miniature pillow menu you can choose your real pillows from. Such a cute idea!

At the top, you will find a small rooftop pool with stunning views over Bangkok, a gym, and the Otto Restaurant. It offers an affordable lunch menu, oyster tasting, and chef’s signature dishes at OTTO ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Perfect if you are in the mood for some pasta with seafood. 

Best of all is MUU’s location because you are right at Soi Sukhumvit 55 and in the heart of Thonglor. The hotel offers a free shuttle to the BTS station, otherwise, it is a 10-minute walk.

Book MUU: Booking.com / Agoda

IR-ON

During my most recent stay in Bangkok, I booked a couple of nights at the IR-ON Hotel in Thonglor (took me forever to figure out the name…). I was super impressed with both their rates and the interior. It is somewhat industrial (duh, the name should have been a giveaway) but not cold and I loved the design and set-up of my room.

The downstairs area and lobby are super cool as well and they also have a small cafe. I didn’t eat there but they have good coffee and you are within walking distances from the Thong Lo BTS station as well as many restaurants and shops.

For all those who are looking for a chic design hotel in Bangkok at a very decent price, this is it!

Where to stay in Silom

I love Silom. Silom is where all the action is (or so it seems). It is loud and busy and not very pretty but Bangkok’s heart seems to be beating just a little faster in its financial district. You are caught in between different worlds here because this area is home to the infamous Patpong Night Market but also Lumpini Park the Central Park of Bangkok.

Honestly, it is a bit rough (though not dangerous, I should stress that!) but I really enjoyed my stay just off Sala Daeng which has its own BTS stop and is right at the corner of Silom Road.

Silom Studios

Silom has no shortcomings of some of the best luxury hotels in Bangkok including the Banyan Tree, SO Sofitel, and the W Hotel. However, I stayed at Silom Studios which was a great option if you are traveling on a budget and it is brand new. It is tucked away in yet another dark alley (not something I minded – I felt perfectly safe!) and within walking distance of Lumpini Park, a whole lot of shops, the BTS and many great food choices.

Right around the corner on Sala Daeng, you will find a tiny, hole in the wall coffee shop which makes great coffee that is a lot cheaper than Starbucks and even gives you a discount card (unfortunately I didn’t fill mine before I left). As Silom Studios only offers instant coffee, this might be the place for all the coffee fanatics.

Book Silom Studios: Agoda

Pullman G Bangkok

The Pullman G is probably the cheapest 5 star hotel in Bangkok you can find. Honestly, I only considered it when I started looking for a nice hotel for my quarantine. I immediately loved the look of their sleek, white G rooms, the views, and the great location.

To be very honest, some wouldn’t consider the Pullman G a proper luxury hotel anymore, and true, it could use a bit of an upgrade and a new lick of paint. That said, to me it feels like a home away from home. They are also home to the fabulous Scarlett rooftop restaurant, great for sundowners and oysters, an in-house burger restaurant, and a good coffee counter in the lobby. 

Make sure to book a room with lounge access. This way, you can check in upstairs in their executive lounge. You can also choose between the regular good but very busy breakfast buffet or an exclusive à la carte breakfast at the lounge. And best of all, they have a complimentary and very generous happy hour there – snacks, free/flowing wine, bubbly, and cocktails await.

Where to stay in Chinatown

I absolutely adore Chinatown, Bangkok. It is not only one of the oldest parts of town but has also preserved its heritage and culture rather well. By now I have been to Bangkok so many times that little surprises me; not the tuk-tuks, not the splendor of the temples and definitely not the fried scorpions on Khao San. But Chinatown was full of surprises and quirky things (at least to my German eyes) to discover and I loved just walking around.

The main road, Yaowarat Road, is a foodie’s paradise (make sure to book this food tour) and then there is Soi Nana. Not to be confused with Nana which has a very different vibe as this is known for strip clubs and evening entertainment while Soi Nana in Chinatown is understated and cool. As it is, my two favorite Airbnbs in Bangkok are located right here.

What to do & see in Chinatown, Bangkok

Ba Hao – 8 soi Nana

Bua and her husband Note have created a tiny haven of cool and style with their restaurant & guesthouse Ba Hao. There are only two rooms which combine stunning Thai architecture and retro interior and best of all – the top room has a huge glass wall overlooking the streets of Chinatown.

Downstairs there is a little communal living room with a comfy leather couch and of course, an Eames lounger. If you travel with a small group of friends this place would be perfect as you can have the entire house to yourself.

Downstairs is a tiny restaurant which offers modern Chinese dishes. Think pork belly with a bao bun and spicy duck wontons (portions are small enough so you can and should order both) washed down with local craft beer or cocktails. Also, some of the best Tan Tan noodles I have ever had. They even have a cocktail sommelier who will talk you through the options. Come early or reserve a table – this place gets busy.

Also, do go across the road to Wallflower Cafe – their cakes are absolutely stunning!

Book Ba Hao: Booking.com / Agoda

Baan Yok

Alternatively, there is the beautiful home of Pupe just down the road which is an old Chinese shophouse converted into an Airbnb. The house is full of beautiful old furniture and details that retell the history of the area and the former owners.

It is definitely not for someone who is looking for modern and sleek or someone who needs fancy hotel amenities or travels with a lot of luggage (I managed but just). It is the place for someone who appreciates design, history, and authenticity in an accommodation though.

Pupe has a few rooms in the house & you can check the different ones out here on Airbnb.

Arun Sa Wad 103 NaNa

For a somewhat small street, Soi Nana really packs a punch especially when it comes to food & cocktails and cool heritage accommodation. Arun Sa Wad, formerly 103 Bed & Brews, is conveniently located right at the corner of Rama IV Road in yet another beautiful traditional house. 

The rooms look like an antique shop – some of the decor even has a price tag! Just like all the other buildings, the stairs are steep but the lovely staff will gladly help you with your luggage. They also have a couple of rooms with an inbuild loft so it sleeps four. You have your designated bathroom though they are not ensuite but just down the hall. 

Note: The downstairs cafe is currently being refurbished, but don’t worry – there are plenty of amazing options just down the road.

Where to stay on Khao San

Almost 20 years later and The Beach is still responsible for the crowds on Khao San Road, the most infamous backpacker area of Bangkok. I honestly don’t mind it and will frequently go for a beer or a massage, and also my favorite waxing lady has her salon between Khao San and Rambuttri Road.

I think Khao San Road is one of those places you need to approach with the right mindset. Don’t come here expecting culinary Thai delights (fried crickets are not!) or any sort of culture. It is, however, a good place to make some backpacking friends and has become a sort of micro-culture in Bangkok itself. While being complete un-Thai it has become a quintessential part of the city.

Khao San is also a convenient area if you are catching a bus anywhere else in the country as a lot of the Lomprayah buses and similar once leave from here. And needless to say, it is a great location in Bangkok if you want to have a fun night out and fall into a bed not far away.

While I like to think that the Beach times of cockroach infested hostel beds are gone, there is a huge array of guesthouses and cheap hostels on Khao San Road and it pays to do some research.

Tinidee Trendy Bangkok Khaosan

Where to stay on Khao San Road? If you want to be in the thick of the action, I recommend you book yourself a room at Tinidee Trendy Bangkok Khaosan. Well, technically it is on Rambuttri Road but honestly, this is as close as you want to get to the chaos that is Khao San Road. Covid times are definitely over and while they cleaned up the street, the party is back and louder than ever (or am I getting old?!). 

I knew Tinidee when it was still an Ibis hotel and stayed here during my first trip to Bangkok when I went to Vietnam and Cambodia with Intrepid. After, I would come back to eat at their Streets restaurant which made an awesome prawn burger. Then it closed during the pandemic and now Tinidee has taken over. While the name rang a bell it took me a while to realize that it is part of the same group as Tinidee Hideaway in Ao Nang. 

The hotel is modern and sleek with some colorful touches and everything you need for a short stay. Rooms are veryaffordable AND worth every cent since their windows have double glass! This is a must when sleeping on Khao San Road. Honestly, I slept so well and could barely hear street noise or people in the hallway as everything was laid out with thick carpet. The beds are a bit too soft for my liking but if you are usually complaining about beds being too firm in Thailand this might be your thing. 

They are also very closely located to the main road so even when Rambuttri closes for car traffic you can walk here easily from the corner. 

Book Tinidee Trendy: Booking.com / Agoda

Rambuttri House

Okay, I will admit Rambuttri House probably wouldn’t have made my cut for hotels in Bangkok I’d ever recommend if it wasn’t so damn conveniently located.

When I was looking to catch a Lomprayah bus from Bangkok to Koh Tao at 6 am I knew I needed a location close to their office. A party backpacker was not an option (you can read how I feel about hostels here) and so I settled on Rambuttri House. 

Check-in was quick and efficient, they do have an elevator and my room was clean albeit tiny. To be honest, it was quite loud from the outside at night but I kind of knew that would happen at any hotel in the vicinity. And the next morning I almost literally rolled out of bed and into Lomprayah’s office which was less than a minute’s walk away. So if you are planning an early departure from the area I can recommend Rambuttri House for the night.

Where to stay on the Bangkok Riverside

The Riverside is an area on the Chao Phraya river and a great choice if you are keen on a scenic environment or for your first Bangkok visit. Also, it is great to get around since you can use the boats on the river to avoid traffic – most hotels on the Bangkok riverside even have their own.

The Siam

The Siam Hotel is one of the best hotels in Bangkok and you will notice why as soon as you walk in. I don’t say that lightly because I have been in a few great hotels and usually have my firm Bangkok favorites. But I am always happy to add to the list especially if a bed is so comfy to immediately become a contender for a spot on the best beds ever list (which you can find here). 

While utterly luxurious, I love that the Siam as the name implies is full of Thai history. From artifacts to pictures, this place tells a story while offering its guest an absolutely luxurious and in my case cozy stay – I tend to attract rain in Bangkok so I was grateful for good wifi and unlimited banana chips in the room while working from bed.

The highlight of the Siam is its location right on the Chao Phraya River. The pool is conveniently located right next to it – perfect for some exercise after the rain is gone and the sun is going down. Not only is the setting incredibly unique but you can also use the very convenient location to hop on a boat to avoid Bangkok traffic and get around. 

Book the Siam: Booking.com / Agoda

Anantara Riverside

If you have watched the latest Season of White Lotus you will be familiar with the Anantara hotel group where part of it was filmed. They also have two hotels in Bangkok, one in Siam and one on the far side of the Chao Phraya River. 

To be honest, there are quite a few properties at the river, that all have their unique selling points, but the Anantara Riverside manages to strike a nice balance between old-world charm and affordable prices. 

The interior is a bit old-fashioned but the views from a Deluxe Riverfront Room make up for it. The service is also impeccable and the staff is so very friendly. 

Part of the hotel is a huge pool in the center of the property, the Chi Spa as Anantara spas around the world are called, and several restaurants. I like the Longtail River Bar, of course right by the river, and perfect for a sundowner. The Riverside Terrace offers a nightly BBQ buffet with traditional Thai dances though I will say that unless you can eat a lot and/or get a discounted deal, it is probably not worth it – that said, I am not a big buffet fan in general. They also offer nightly dinner cruises which looked like a nice option. 

The hotel is right next to the Rama III Bridge so you can easily get there by Grab but they also have their own riverboat that will take you to Sathorn Pier and as far as ICONSIAM. 

Book Anantara Riverside: Booking.com / Agoda

Capella Bangkok

Capella is one of the best luxury hotel groups in my eyes, my favorite being their property in Ubud, Bali. Their Bangkok property is quite different as it lacks the quirky signature of Bill Bensley. That said, if you are looking for a truly exquisite and understated luxury hotel in Bangkok, this might just be the place for you.

Most hotels on the riverside are a bit old-fashioned and quite traditional. The Capella is anything but – muted soft colors, modern lines, and boutique service around the clock. They have just over 100 rooms that all face the river and are at least an impressive 61 sqm big. All rooms have a nice balcony but the villas are where it gets interesting – private pools and all. 

Capella doesn’t have a concierge but a so-called Culturist who is in charge of making all your arrangements – from simple airport transfers to curated experiences. And no surprise, the food options are divine lead by the 2-Michelin-starred CÔTE by Mauro Colagreco. However, if you wanted authentic Thai give the Phra Nakhon restaurant a go. It is such a nice venue and the food is incredible. You can’t really go wrong, but do get the Penang curry with duck. 

Book Capella Bangkok: Booking.com / Agoda

Where to stay in Phra Nakhon

I also want to tell you all about my favorite area to stay in Bangkok. Let me be your Bangkok tour guide and show you around Khlong San: This area is the perfect mix for those who want to be close to Khao San Road, if you are on a budget and if you want to get a glimpse of real local life. Things to do in Bangkok in 3 days? This area is great because you can easily reach the old part of town and some of the most important sights and temples in Bangkok.

Expect lots of cats, great street food and making friends with the locals in this part of the city. There is no BTS or MRT so you will need to get around with taxis, walk or take the boat from the pier.

Na Tanao 1969

Phra Nakhon has been missing a boutique hotel like Na Tanao 1969 ever since my beloved Asadang closed. It has all the charm of an old town Bangkok guesthouse mixed with plenty of modern amenities you may want. 

Like a coffee shop downstairs that makes amazing Matcha, a tiny elevator to get to the top floors, and huge glass windows for uninterrupted views. Sometimes these views lead to a wall but the wall is old and beautiful so why not? It calls itself a HomeTel = hotel + home and that is exactly what it feels like. 

There are only 4 rooms total that are named after the owner’s family members. You will want to book Jira or Jitta the street-facing rooms that have an utterly unique layout and face a beautiful arch on the other side of the road. That said, for those troubled sleeping go for Nama or Kitta towards the back as they are more quiet. 

The interior is sleek, a bit retro, with the comfiest beds, and great showers. Owner Name and his team will help you with anything you may need and someone is always available on WhatsApp – this includes wine delivery to your room. From Na Tanao you can walk to many of Bangkok’s big sights like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Khao San. Chances are though you may just want to curl up at a place that truly feels like home. 

Book Na Tanao 1969: Booking.com / Agoda

Baan Kachitpan

There are some of the best hostels in Bangkok located in this part of town but my favorite is a little guesthouse called Baan Kachitpan – the best place to stay in Bangkok in my humble opinion. It is an old restored house in a tiny little community run by Jam and her lovely team and rather charming.

The rooms are light and airy, have aircon and great wifi and they have just started a Thai breakfast which is included in the price and really yummy as is their coffee. You have the choice between a few different room categories depending on your budget some with an en-suite, others with shared bathrooms as well as a triple room.

It is tucked away at the end of the alley of another small road and you won’t be able to get a taxi to go there. The driver will drop you at the corner of Dinso Road and if it is your first time staying here someone will fetch you from there.

Book Baan Kachitpan: Booking.com / Agoda

The Bhuthorn

If you wanted a somewhat fancier version but still stay at an authentically Thai guesthouse in Bangkok, I recommend the Bhuthorn. 

This tiny 3-room house is the sister hotel to the late Asadang which was my absolute favorite Bangkok accommodation ever and probably the reason I ever fell in love with the city. The Asadang is no more but the Bhuthorn is a great alternative. 

Its owners are antique collectors and lovers of all things vintage and it shows. The house is full of beautiful old knickknacks and memorabilia telling the stories of a time gone by. The rooms offer beautiful fabrics, antique furniture, the same smell of jasmine. Another highlight are there breakfast Bentos which come with sweet and savory rice, fruit, donuts, coconut balls or whatever else was available on the market. I love the surprise factor of it as you don’t know what you get until you lift the lid of your bento. Definitely, a new (or old?) way to eat breakfast and coming from someone who usually doesn’t do more than coffee, it should tell you that it’s good!

Tim Mansion

I also discovered the Tim Mansion on my recent trip to Bangkok with is a great alternative for foodies. The downstairs area has a bit of a hostel atmosphere and the service is a bit slow but the food is actually decent and the rooms are modern and comfortable – all of this at a great price! 

Best of it though is its location right next to the famous Jay Fai. I haven’t eaten there but their crab omelet is Michelin starred. 

I reckon you can just put your name on the waiting list, go back to Tim Mansion, and still hear it when they will call your name. Right next door you will also find Thip Samai which allegedly has the best Pad Thai in Bangkok. It doesn’t but lucky for you the place which actually has the best one is next door and you can read all about it here.
