Come Discover Bangkok!

Bangkok will enchant you with its Buddhist temples, Grand Palace, tantalizing Thai food, and serene people. Hop aboard a long-tail boat or ferry along the Chao Phraya River and its network of canals.

Best to learn a little about Bangkok's major neighborhoods when choosing your favorite hotel.

The Khao San / Banglamphu district sits in the historic center, teeming with energy. Many budget hotels cluster around Khao San Road. Looping around this cultural core is the Chao Praya riverside district with several plush resorts. Nearby, Chinatown has many affordable hotels.

Bangkok's business district — known as Silom — extends southeast of the river, with chic cafes, luxury hotels, street food, and green spaces. A bit further away are the popular Siam and Pratunam areas.

Furthest east is the trendy neighborhood of Sukhumvit filled with fine restaurants, bars, dance clubs, raucous "sois" (alleys) and bookstores.

Insider Travel Tips

  • Avoid gridlock on Bangkok streets by taking the subway, Skytrain, or a riverboat "bus".
  • Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS), commonly known as the "Skytrain", is an elevated rapid transit system in Bangkok.
  • Bangkok's historic center of temples, royal palace, canals, and Rattanakosin island make up the "Old City". (Hotels here include Riva Arun and the Chakrabongse Villas.) The outlying areas of tall buildings, parks, shops, and vibrant nightlife form the "New City".
  • Bangkok tops the list as the world's #1 most visited destination. 32 million foreign tourists stayed overnight in 2024. Istanbul, London, Paris, and Dubai were near the top.
