Where To Stay In Bangkok?
By Tuk-Tuk.net, Thu Dec 8th
Finding a hotel is super easy these days. Do a searchat google, and you'll have some pretty good idea of where youwant to stay. Plus, you can just go ahead and book for a BangkokThailand hotel right online.
If you plan to find a Bangkok hotel, you have tons of choices.Stay at Kaosan road if you're a backpacker. If you're not one,then stay close to the skytrain if you love shopping. If you'reinto good atmosphere and don't care much about getting aroundthe city, then stay close to the Chao Phraya river, which is themain river of Bangkok.
If you want to stay at Kaosan road, you don't even need to bookin advance. You can just walk around to see the guesthouse youlike, and then just walk in. They always have a vacancy.
If you prefer to stay in the city center in order to get aroundeasily for shopping, (and let me tell you, Bangkok is shoppers'paradise -- Hong Kong isn't cheap... but Bangkok is) then Isuggest you check out Patumwan Princess hotel. It's right in theMBK shopping center (fake jeans, watches and bags) and alsoright at the Siam Square skytrain station. Erawan hotel, LeMeridien and the Four Seasons hotel are more luxurious. They'reright at the intersection where you can see Zen and Isetanshopping malls right across the street. The Siam Square (wherethey sell funky clothing) and the Chidlom (Central shoppingmall) skytrain stations are within minutes away.
A lot of tourists like to stay at the Asia hotel, which is rightat a Rajdevi skytrain station (one station away from MBKshopping 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 toyou.
If you don't care much about shopping in Bangkok, then I'dreally suggest you stay at the Sukothai hotel. It's a classy andluxurious Thai-styled hotel --but you'll have to take a taxi ifyou want to go anywhere. Or even better,

stay by the Chao Phrayariver if you can. It will give you a different feel of Bangkok,especially at night. It's rather expensive though, especially ifyou want to stay at the world-renowned Oriental hotel or thePeninsula hotel. If these two are too expensive for you, tryShangri-la hotel. It may be a little bit cheaper. And don'tforget to book a Bangkok river cruise dinner at your hotel. TheChao Praya river is glamorous at night -- with a view ofwell-lit Wat Arun.
To get around town from your Bangkok hotel, you can ask thehotel's doorman to help you get a taxi. It's not expensive atall.
