Where to Stay in Bangkok
Neighborhood guide with prices and local insights
Sukhumvit
Bangkok's expat heartland stretching along the BTS Skytrain line. From the upscale bars of Thonglor (Soi 55) to the street food stalls of Nana (Soi 3-11), Sukhumvit offers everything. Terminal 21 mall's themed floors are a destination in themselves. The best base for nightlife and modern Bangkok.
$50-150/night
Best for: Expats, nightlife, BTS-accessible exploration, long-stay travelers
Silom & Sathorn
Bangkok's financial district by day transforms into a dining and nightlife destination after dark. The iconic Lebua State Tower rooftop bar (from "The Hangover Part II"), Patpong Night Market, and Lumpini Park are all here. Well-connected via both BTS and MRT lines.
$60-180/night
Best for: Business travelers, rooftop bar enthusiasts, fitness-oriented travelers (Lumpini Park)
Old City (Rattanakosin)
The historical core of Bangkok centered around the Grand Palace, Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha), and Wat Arun across the river. Narrow lanes filled with amulet markets and family-run noodle shops. Limited BTS/MRT access — travel by river ferry or tuk-tuk. Where Bangkok's 240-year royal history lives.
$15-60/night
Best for: Culture seekers, temple enthusiasts, history buffs, photographers
Khao San Road
The legendary backpacker strip that's been a Southeast Asia rite of passage since the 1980s. A 400-meter stretch of guesthouses, pad thai carts, bucket cocktails, and tattoo parlors. Love it or hate it, Khao San is an experience. Walking distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho.
$15-40/night
Best for: Backpackers, solo travelers, party-goers, first-time Southeast Asia visitors
Riverside
Bangkok's most serene setting along the Chao Phraya River. Home to the city's top luxury hotels — Mandarin Oriental (est. 1876), Peninsula, and Shangri-La — with private boat piers. The ICONSIAM mega-mall anchors the modern riverfront. Sunset river cruises depart nightly.
$150-500/night
Best for: Luxury travelers, couples, special occasions, river view seekers
Ari & Phaya Thai
Bangkok's hipster heartland where young Thais brunch at specialty coffee shops and browse indie boutiques. Ari's tree-lined sois (lanes) feel like a different city — calm, local, and Instagram-worthy. Street food here rivals the tourist areas at half the price. Direct BTS access.
$25-70/night
Best for: Local culture, cafe-hopping, digital nomads, travelers seeking authentic Bangkok

Bangkok Travel Essentials
Street food capital of the world — where gilded temples meet modern megacity chaos
Bangkok is sensory overload in the best possible way. A city of 10 million where ornate Buddhist temples share blocks with futuristic malls, where a $1 plate of pad thai from a street cart rivals any restaurant, and where the Chao Phraya River weaves past centuries of history. With over 400 temples, the world's largest Chinatown, and a nightlife scene that never sleeps, Bangkok consistently ranks among the most visited cities on Earth — and for good reason.

Chatuchak Weekend Market — the world's largest outdoor market with 15,000+ stalls across 35 acres, from vintage fashion to exotic pets

Hotels in Bangkok — FAQ
Where is the best area to stay in Bangkok?
Sukhumvit ($50-150/night) is the top pick for first-timers — excellent BTS access, restaurants, and nightlife along Sois 1-55. Silom/Sathorn ($60-180/night) suits business travelers and rooftop bar fans. Old City ($15-60/night) is best for temples and history. Riverside ($150-500/night) offers luxury with Chao Phraya River views.
How much do hotels in Bangkok cost per night?
Bangkok is extraordinarily affordable. Clean guesthouses on Khao San Road start at $15/night. Mid-range hotels in Sukhumvit average $50-120/night with pools and breakfast. Five-star riverside luxury at the Mandarin Oriental or Peninsula runs $150-500+/night. You can live very well on $50/night in Bangkok.
When are Bangkok hotels cheapest?
June through September (monsoon season) offers the lowest rates — 30-40% below high season. September is the absolute cheapest month. Avoid December-January (peak season with 50-100% markups), Songkran week in April, and Chinese New Year in February when rates spike.
Is Khao San Road worth staying at?
It depends on your style. Khao San Road offers Bangkok's cheapest beds ($15-40/night), walking distance to the Grand Palace, and a nonstop party atmosphere. It's a Southeast Asia backpacker rite of passage. But if you want sleep, quiet, or a local experience, Sukhumvit or Ari are better choices with BTS access.
Can I book Bangkok hotels with cryptocurrency?
Yes. Travorio accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 100+ cryptocurrencies for Bangkok hotel bookings. Thailand's regulated crypto scene makes it one of the most crypto-friendly destinations in Southeast Asia. Paying in crypto avoids ATM fees (฿220 per withdrawal) and card conversion markups.
What should I know about Bangkok hotel neighborhoods?
Bangkok is massive — neighborhood choice matters more than star rating. Sukhumvit is the safest bet for access and variety. Silom is polished and central. Old City (Rattanakosin) puts you steps from the Grand Palace but far from BTS/MRT. Riverside is serene but isolated. Ari is the locals' favorite — calm, hip, and affordable with BTS access.
