Must-visit districts in Bangkok 🏮

Bangkok truly feels like several cities rolled into one! Every district boasts its own unique character. From historic Old Bangkok to the ultra-modern zones, you'll journey through time with every change of neighbourhood. Here's our selection:

Rattanakosin: Royal and spiritual Bangkok

Grand Palais

Grand Palais

Rattanakosin is undoubtedly THE historical heart of Bangkok, founded in 1782 (yes, really!) by King Rama I on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. You’ll find the three most spectacular temples here: the Grand Palace with the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), Wat Pho and its 46-metre Reclining Buddha covered in gold leaf, and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) with its porcelain-adorned spires.

📌 Trip.com Tip: Arrive by 8:30 am to beat the tour buses! Please note the mandatory dress code: shoulders and knees must be covered, so no shorts or tank tops.

Chinatown (Yaowarat): an explosion of flavours and neon lights

Chinatown

Chinatown

You'll find them in many capital cities, but Bangkok's Chinatown is one of the most unique districts in the city! By day? Traditional Chinese markets offer a warm and local atmosphere! In the evening? The vibe completely changes! From 6pm, Yaowarat Road transforms into a massive open-air restaurant. Red and gold neon signs light up, street food stalls take over the pavements, and the atmosphere becomes truly one-of-a-kind!

Here, you’ll get to savour Bangkok's finest seafood: prawns, crabs, wok-grilled squid, stir-fried noodles, Chinese dumplings and traditional desserts. This is also where you’ll find Wat Traimit, which houses an incredible 5.5-tonne solid gold Buddha!

📌 Trip.com Tip: Arrive on an empty stomach and sample plenty of small bites! The stalls with the longest queues are definitely worth the wait.

Sukhumvit: Modern and cosmopolitan Bangkok

Sukhumvit

Sukhumvit

Sukhumvit is modern Bangkok, the place for expats and digital nomads! Perfectly connected by the BTS Skytrain, every "soi" (side street) has its own unique vibe: Soi 11 for partying, Soi 38 for street food, and Thonglor and Ekkamai for hipster cafes.

You'll find incredible shopping centres like Terminal 21 (airport-themed), EmQuartier (ultra-luxury), and rooftop bars with 360° views. It’s also THE neighbourhood for cuisines from all over the world!

Silom and Patpong: two contrasting vibes depending on the time of day

Silom and Patpong

By day, Silom is Bangkok’s version of Wall Street, with its skyscrapers, traffic jams and businesspeople. But at night, it undergoes a total transformation! The Patpong night market sets up, and Silom becomes the heart of the nightlife with its bars, clubs and Bangkok’s famous red-light district (Patpong, Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy), attracting curious travellers from all over the world.

Just next door, Lumpini Park also offers a peaceful escape, with its monitor lizards (large 1-metre lizards) basking by the lakeside!

Khao San Road: A backpacker's paradise

Khao San Road

Khao San Road

Finally, whatever you do, don't miss Khao San Road! This legendary 400-metre street is famous among backpackers worldwide. Picture bustling open-air bars, aromatic Pad Thai vendors, impromptu tattoo parlours, and massages for a mere £4... The atmosphere is absolutely electric, brimming with a cosmopolitan crowd of young people ready to party the night away!

It’s VERY touristy, but it’s the perfect place to meet fellow travellers, swap top tips, and organise your excursions at competitive prices!

📌 Trip.com Tip: Soi Rambuttri is much quieter. Avoid rooms directly on Khao San Road if you want to get some sleep!

This was my second stay at Twin Towers Hotel in Bangkok, and I was just as impressed as the first time. The hotel is large, well-maintained, and very clean, providing a comfortable and pleasant environment throughout my stay. Overall, Twin Towers Hotel offers great value for money, a convenient location, excellent facilities, and outstanding service. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bangkok. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wireless/Chidlom Bangkok|2.5km from city centre
I felt like I was being treated differently. Aside from the young lady who checked me in, everyone else, especially another staff member, had a really bad attitude. It seemed like the hotel caters mostly to white guests, judging by its British decor. They only emptied the trash in my room, no actual cleaning. I brought my own towel, but used one of the hotel's to dry my hair. When I asked for a replacement, I got an old, dirty-looking one that clearly showed its age and couldn't be washed clean. The one initially provided when I checked in was brand new and good quality. I even took comparison photos. If they don't want to host Chinese guests, they shouldn't accept bookings. There's no need for this kind of behavior. I would have been fine if all the towels were old and dirty from the start, but not for them to replace a good one with a noticeably worse one.

Siam Bangkok|2.39km from city centre
I've stayed at this hotel many times. The location is incredibly convenient, close to the BTS Skytrain and shops, and right next to the Erawan Shrine. The pool and gym areas are spacious, and there's a great variety of breakfast options. The rooms are well-equipped, quite large, and comfortable. I'd definitely book here again for my next trip.

Siam Bangkok|3.73km from city centre
Overall, the stay was excellent, with the housekeeping staff and concierge staff performing particularly well: the housekeeping work was meticulous and thorough, leaving guest rooms and public areas spotless; the greeters were warm and courteous, proactively opening car doors and assisting with luggage, providing attentive and thoughtful service, demonstrating high professionalism and deserving recognition and commendation. However, the bar service was somewhat lacking, exhibiting insufficient initiative, slow response times, and incomplete service procedures. The accompanying services did not match the hotel's overall standards, requiring further training to enhance service awareness and professionalism. Overall, the staff service was outstanding, with only the bar area needing improvement.

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|0.82km from city centre
Stayed at W Bangkok recently and had a mixed experience. The room itself was nice and comfortable, with a cozy bed and decent overall cleanliness. It’s still a pleasant space to relax after a long day out in the city. However, there are a few areas that really need improvement. The room fixtures feel quite dated and could definitely use an upgrade as soon as possible—it doesn’t quite match the premium image the hotel is going for. One inconvenience was that Grab deliveries are not sent up to the room. Orders are left at the drop-off point, which can be a hassle, especially at night or after a long day. The pool area was another downside. It was too dark and dimly lit at night, making it difficult to see clearly. I actually hit my toe on the steps, which could have been avoided with better lighting. Overall, a comfortable stay but falls short in terms of maintenance and guest convenience. Would consider staying again only if improvements are made.

Khaosan Road Bangkok|3.03km from city centre
This hotel is quite large, spread across several buildings: A, B, C, and D. I booked a room with a living area, and it was spacious – the bedroom alone was bigger than rooms in some other hotels. Overall, the room's facilities felt a bit dated, with dark solid wood furniture. The only inconvenience was the power outlets; the three-prong kind didn't work for my laptop charger, though my phone charger was fine. The hotel pool is on the 11th floor, next to a bar. Breakfast was extensive, with a wide variety of dishes. I stayed one night and wasn't even asked for a deposit.

Except for the good check-in service, the location of the hotel is fine if you like tranquil accommodation in a hustle city. It’s convenient to take bus or online hailing services to get to your destination from this hotel. The gym is good enough for cardio training but heavy weighting. A minor thing needed to be improved is you have to be patient to wait room service for a short period of time. All in all, it’s still worth spending to this safe place for a vocation.

Sukhumvit Bangkok|3.87km from city centre
Thanks to the hotel we had a great first experience in Bangkok. Location is great if you like to go out to. It is just a few minutes walk from Nana BTS station and 30 minutes from the airport BKK. The lobby is huge and our luggage was immediately taken on the trolly. At checkin we paid 2000Bath deposit but it was completely returned when we checked out. We had a spacious room 35m2 with a great bed/matrass and lovely pillows, corner with a table and couch, fridge a hairdryer shampoo, showergell, cotton buds, toothbrush+paste, showercap, thea, coffee and 2 bottles of water everyday. A bit outdated but all very neat and clean. The shower always had great pressure and hot water. Our beds and towels were cleaned every day and on our weddingday we even had flowers en swantowels on our bed. Also tv has severel internatinal channels and we had great internet during our whole stay. It has a pool to refresh yourself and a great gym. There is also a great boxing/muaythai gym where we took some private lessons from the headcoach(trainer of the year in Thailand) breakfast has a lot of choices too. On request you can choose different sorts of eggs. But there is also fried rice and noodles. Not to forget 7 eleven is just around the corner. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back when we visit Bangkok

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|0.67km from city centre
It’s my 5th time staying at this hotel, and overall it has always been a good experience. The staff are helpful, and housekeeping is especially friendly and accommodating. However, sometimes they assign lower-floor rooms with poor views. This time, we were first given a room facing the car park, with plants covering the window, which made it feel like staying in a cave. It didn’t seem like it was due to lack of availability, as another room was later given to us. Thankfully, they were kind enough to let us change rooms and moved us to the 7th floor with a slight roadside view, which was much better. The only downside of this hotel is really the room views.

The hotel staff work very efficiently and everything is well organized. The service feels professional and smooth from check-in to check-out. There is also a convenience store available 24 hours a day, which makes it very easy to buy food, drinks, or anything you need at any time. It’s really convenient for guests who arrive late or get hungry at night. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Pratunam Market Bangkok|3.41km from city centre
The room was spacious, but the air conditioning and exhaust fan were a bit noisy. The AC was a wall-mounted knob type with only three fan speeds. The area downstairs was a bit chaotic with a night market in the mornings and evenings, quite a contrast to the hotel itself. The highlights were definitely being the tallest hotel in Bangkok, with great indoor photo spots on the 78th floor and the amazing rotating indoor observation deck on the 84th floor. There's also an outdoor pool, a fruit shop, a buffet restaurant, and a cafe, so you could easily spend an entire day without leaving the hotel.

Sukhumvit Bangkok|3.53km from city centre
We had a nice experience here! Compliments especially to the friendly doorman — he left such an impression on me because he greeted us so enthusiastically every day. Check-in was quick and easy. Our room was clean and spacious, the bed was comfy, the shower hot with good water pressure, and they had actual conditioner. WiFi was fast, and housekeeping was thorough every day and kept replacing our amenities even though we didn’t need it, lol. Plus we had a great view of the amazing city view nearby. So beautiful! Location was beyond excellent! Close to both the Nana BTS, and has a private turnaround area for taxis/Grabs, so take your pick really. This particular combination is kind of rare, actually, since the two systems don’t overlap a lot. We picked this location over Sukhumvit at Nana because it’s closer to all of the places. There is also a small night market nearby, both of the food and the flesh variety, though the latter is easily avoidable if you wish (it’s not seedy tho). To be honest, the night market felt really touristy and the options were quite limited. There were also a loooot of malls and massage places in the vicinity, of all varieties and price points.

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|1.75km from city centre
1. Excellent, truly exceptional. With a limited number of rooms, it's not crowded and wonderfully quiet. 2. We received a lovely welcome gift: a fresh floral bracelet (I enjoyed the jasmine scent throughout the day!). The room also had a welcome fruit platter, a self-service incense burner, and essential oils. 3. The pool is small and located at a moderate height, offering some city views, but nothing spectacular. It's a small space, but functional enough for what it is. 4. Dinner was divine! We ate at the rooftop bar. We ordered pork ribs and chicken, totaling 6000 Thai Baht. The ribs were a generous portion, more than we could finish. The service was impeccable; we had one-on-one attention throughout, with attentive serving and explanations. At sunset, they even offered to take photos for us. 5. Breakfast was served on the 60th floor. The dining area is small, the views are average, and the variety of dishes is limited, but the service is good. I highly recommend ordering the iced Thai milk tea from the server. In summary: This is an older luxury hotel that is now accessible to the average person. Go ahead and book; you won't be disappointed.

This is my 5th time staying at Amari and it has been the best and memorable experience we had. Service was fantastic, everyone was very friendly polite and kind. I would like to thank Nicha especially, this has been our second time seeing her on our trip and my 2 kids adore her. Her kindness left a great impression on my kids. They won’t stay at any other place other than Amari the next time we are in Bangkok and it’s all because of her. Thank you for the amazing memories that she has left for my 2 kids. Congratulations to Amari, you have a gem in your team.

Top 5 activities and landmarks in Bangkok 🏛️

Here is our selection of the top 5 must-dos, whether you're travelling with family, as a couple, with friends or solo:

The Grand Palace: Bangkok's history brought to life

Grand Palais

Grand Palais

The Grand Palace is undoubtedly the star attraction to visit in Bangkok! Built in 1782, this 218,000 m² complex served as the royal residence for over 150 years. Once you're there, everything glitters: from golden roofs and shimmering mosaics to 5-metre-high demon statues, it's a real feast for the eyes!

The star of the show is Wat Phra Kaew, home to the Emerald Buddha, Thailand's most revered statue (66 cm carved from jade). The murals depicting the Ramakien are truly fascinating!

📌 Top tip: allow 3 hours and book online. A respectful dress code is required.

Safari World Bangkok: A wildlife adventure

Safari World Bangkok

Safari World Bangkok

If you're travelling with the family or you're a big animal lover, Safari World is an absolute must! This 170-hectare park is divided into two completely different zones: the Safari Park, where you can drive (or take the park bus) through landscapes recreating the African savannah with lions, giraffes, zebras, and rhinos roaming in semi-liberty, and the Marine Park, with its marine animal shows featuring dolphins, sea lions, and parrots.

Children particularly love the orangutan show as well as the cowboy show (yes, really – cowboys in Thailand! It’s a surprise, but it’s great fun!).

📌 Top tip: arrive at 9 am when the animals are active. A cap and sun cream are essential!

Chao Phraya River: The river of kings

Chao Phraya River

Chao Phraya River

The Chao Phraya River is quite literally the soul of Bangkok! It’s nicknamed the "River of Kings" because it has been at the centre of the city's royal and commercial life for centuries.

A boat trip along this river gives you a completely different perspective of Bangkok: on one side, you'll see ancient temples and traditional wooden houses on stilts, and on the other, ultra-modern skyscrapers reflecting in the water.

You've got a few fantastic options, depending on your budget and what kind of adventure you're after: the local orange flag boat taxi (a real bargain at 15 baht, which is about 35p – it's incredibly authentic and absolutely buzzing with locals on their way to work), or perhaps a tourist cruise with an English-speaking guide, ready to unveil all the fascinating sights along the way, or, for something truly special, a romantic sunset dinner cruise, featuring a delectable Thai buffet and a captivating traditional dance performance.

The main stops to check out: Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), which looks spectacular from the river; the Pak Khlong Talat flower market, open 24 hours a day; and if you hop off at Tha Tien pier, you're right next to Wat Pho!

The Ancient City: All of Thailand in an afternoon

The Ancient City

The Ancient City

The Ancient City (Mueang Boran in Thai) is an absolutely brilliant concept! Imagine a sprawling 320-hectare park shaped like a map of Thailand, featuring over 116 monuments that recreate the country's most significant sites in miniature or full scale. It’s like touring the whole of Thailand in a single day without ever having to catch a flight!

You'll find replicas of ancient northern temples, traditional southern palaces, reconstructed villages with typical houses from every region, and magnificent landscaped gardens. Some structures are genuine old wooden houses that were dismantled and rebuilt here to preserve them.

📣 Trip.com recommendation: the park is located in Samut Prakan, about 30 km south of Bangkok (a 45-minute taxi ride from the city centre). You can explore on foot if you're feeling energetic (but it's huge!), hire a bike on-site (150 baht), or take an electric golf buggy (400 baht).

SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World: Explore the ocean in air-conditioned comfort

SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World

SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World

When it’s 37°C outside with 90% humidity and you’ve had enough of sweating buckets, SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World is your best friend! It’s one of the largest aquariums in Southeast Asia and is actually located right in the basement of the Siam Paragon shopping centre.

The aquarium is home to over 30,000 marine animals spread across various themed zones: colourful coral reefs, a flooded tropical rainforest with giant freshwater fish, a deep ocean zone, and even an Antarctic section with real penguins!

Bangkok: Thailand’s capital and street food capital 🍜

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, but also the capital of street food

Bangkok is THE world's number one street food destination! Bangkokians eat out two or three times a day. As a visitor, you can expect to pay just £1-2 for a full meal.

Must-try dishes:

  • Pad Thai: Stir-fried noodles with prawns, peanuts, and lime, a dish that was actually created during World War II!
  • Tom Yum Goong: Spicy prawn soup with lemongrass and galangal
  • Som Tam: Spicy and Crunchy Green Papaya Salad
  • Massaman Curry: A mild curry with coconut milk and peanuts
  • Mango Sticky Rice: A delicious glutinous rice and mango dessert

🥇 Our golden rule: if there’s a queue of Thai people, you know it’s a top spot! Follow the locals.

Weather-wise, Bangkok is famous for its tropical climate: it’s hot all year round! However, there are still three distinct seasons, each offering a unique vibe and its own set of perks.
