Bangkok hotels range from world-class riverside resorts to wallet-friendly stays steps from the BTS Skytrain. As Thailand’s capital and gateway to Southeast Asia, finding the right place to stay can make or break your trip. Whether you’re visiting for business meetings in Silom, exploring temples in the Old City, or diving into the nightlife along Sukhumvit, choosing the best neighborhood matters just as much as choosing the hotel itself.

This guide breaks down the 6 main areas where most travelers stay, along with personally reviewed properties in each district. I’ve stayed at every hotel featured here, so you’ll get honest insights — not just marketing copy. Bangkok accommodation prices remain surprisingly affordable compared to other major Asian cities, with excellent 4-star options starting around ฿2,000-3,000 per night and genuine luxury from ฿5,000.

Getting around Bangkok is easiest via the BTS Skytrain and MRT Metro systems. I strongly recommend choosing Bangkok hotels near a train station — the city’s traffic is notoriously brutal, and a 2km taxi ride can easily take 45 minutes during rush hour.
