Bangkok accommodation, which neighborhood to choose

Since Bangkok traffic can be heavy, check how far the accommodation is from a BTS or MRT station first.

Then, choose the neighborhood based on whether you plan to do a lot of shopping and nightlife, or want to relax by the riverside.

Asoke and Phrom Phong (Sukhumvit)

It is around Asok Station, where the BTS and MRT lines meet.

You can use both lines, making it easy to transfer wherever you go in the city.

Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is about a 5-minute walk to BTS Asok Station and about a 6-minute walk to MRT Sukhumvit Station.

Reviewer says shopping malls across the street are close.

Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit is about 5 minutes to BTS Asok Station and about 6 minutes to Nana Station.

Reviewer says it is good for visiting the night market across the street.

Arawana Regency Park Sukhumvit, located a bit further in Soi 22, is about 11 minutes each to BTS Phrom Phong Station and MRT Sukhumvit Station.

Reviewer says the neighborhood is nice to walk around at night.

Chit Lom · Phloen Chit · Lumphini

Between BTS Chit Lom Station and Phloen Chit Station, near Wireless Road and Lang Suan.

The Okura Prestige Bangkok is about a 7-minute walk to BTS Phloen Chit Station and about an 8-minute walk to Chit Lom Station.

Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is located in a lane on the Lang Suan side and is about 11 minutes to BTS Chit Lom Station.

Reviewer says the hotel operates a shuttle to Chit Lom Station.

Sathorn

Along South Sathorn Road, a neighborhood where the BTS Silom Line passes.

Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn is about a 1-minute walk to BTS Surasak Station.

Reviewer says you can enter directly to the 3rd floor of the hotel from the station.

Reviewer also says it is one stop by BTS to the pier.

Chao Phraya Riverside

A suitable neighborhood when you want to quietly relax while viewing the river.

Mandarin Oriental Bangkok on the east side of the river is about a 12-minute walk to BTS Saphan Taksin Station.

The Peninsula Bangkok on the west side of the river is about 7 minutes to Charoen Nakhon Station on the Gold Line.

Charoen Nakhon Station is connected to Iconsiam, and the Gold Line transfers to the BTS Silom Line at Krung Thon Buri Station.

Ari

Located in the northern part of the city, along the BTS Sukhumvit Line going up toward Chatuchak.

Some reviewers say it's quiet because it's in an alley.

Craftsman Bangkok is about a 15-minute walk to Ari Station and Saphan Khwai Station respectively.

About 1.4 km in a straight line to Chatuchak Market.

Some reviewers say the hotel provides a free tuk-tuk to the BTS station.

From the airport to the city center

From Suvarnabhumi Airport, take the Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai Station in about 26 minutes.

Transfer to the BTS Sukhumvit Line at Phaya Thai Station, or to the MRT Blue Line Phetchaburi Station at Makkasan Station.

From Don Mueang Airport, take the Red Line from the station across from the airport to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, then transfer to the MRT Blue Line.

Northern Ari is closer to Don Mueang Airport.

What to consider when choosing

• Check how many minutes it is on foot from the station first.
• If you plan to do a lot of shopping and nightlife, the Asok and Chit Lom areas are convenient.
• Riverside hotels fit schedules that involve boats or the Gold Line.
• Prices vary by date, so please check for your specific dates.
