Bangkok's more upmarket options such as the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok (48 Oriental Avenue) and The Siam (3/2 Thanon Khao) are sure to please even the fussiest guests. If you'd prefer to spend your hard-earned cash on things like hair-raising adventures and wild evenings out, why not investigate a few of our lower-priced options? The InterContinental Bangkok (973 Phloen Chit Road) and the Ibrik Resort by the River (256 Soi Wat Rakang, Arunamarin Rd) are a couple of recommended ones.

Another great option is to stay close to Grand Palace. You can easily do this by reserving a room at the Chakrabongse Villas, which is only 0.5 miles away. Equally popular is the Arun Residence, 0.4 miles away.

No one likes hanging out at the airport. But it's a small price to pay when you think about the amazing destination that awaits! Positioned 13 miles north of Bangkok, Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) is the closest terminal.
