Hotels in Bangkok: what to know

Hotels in Bangkok include hotels, serviced apartments and hostels. Where you stay matters more than the star rating, because the city is big and traffic is slow. This page lists places with location, rating and contact details.

Use the area as your first filter:

  • Sukhumvit, around Nana and Asok, suits first-time visitors and business travellers who want the BTS on the doorstep.
  • Silom & Sathorn and Bang Rak suit business trips and river access.
  • Riverside has the classic grand hotels.
  • Khao San and Chinatown suit budget travellers and old-town sightseeing.
  • Phaya Thai is convenient for the Airport Rail Link.

Khao San has the largest group of listings, then Silom & Sathorn and Chinatown. Ratchaprasong sits among the malls. Other Bangkok covers hotels near the airport and the suburbs.

Before you book:

  • Check the walking distance to the nearest BTS or MRT station, not just the area name.
  • Ask if the rate includes breakfast, tax and service charge.
  • For long stays, compare serviced apartments, which often have kitchens and weekly or monthly rates.
  • Check if your room faces a main road or a nightlife soi if you sleep lightly.
  • Expect check-in to include an address report for foreign guests to Immigration. This is normal.

The Airport Rail Link takes about 27 minutes from Suvarnabhumi to Phaya Thai. Our airport transfer guide lists every option, and the hotels round-up adds background.

Does a hotel report my stay to Immigration?

Yes. Your hotel must report foreign guests' addresses to Immigration. This is normal and handled at check-in. Bring your passport when you arrive. Booking sites do not replace this report, which the hotel files itself, so you do not need to do anything extra. The front desk handles this at check-in, so you need no extra form.

Where should budget travellers stay in Bangkok?

Khao San and Chinatown suit budget travellers and sightseeing in the old town. Khao San has no BTS or MRT nearby, so plan the boat or taxi in advance. Khao San is a short boat ride from Phra Arthit pier. Khao San is a short boat ride from Phra Arthit pier.
