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
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
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 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
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
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!

Siam Bangkok|2.01km from city centre
The location wasn't particularly bad, and there were tuk-tuks parked right in front of the hotel, which was great because I could go out and explore right after checking in. The room was clean, and while some might be bothered by the cleanliness of the bathroom, it didn't bother me personally. The front desk staff were very polite, and I had a lot of fun with the hotel's amenities like the pool, gym, and table tennis. It was also convenient to have a Lawson and a 7-Eleven nearby. Oh, and the big pink bear right inside the hotel entrance was really cute, which I liked.FromVND 860,488

Wireless／Chidlom Bangkok|2.5km from city centre
The location is about a five-minute walk from Chit Lom station, and it's quite quiet at night. The decor is very retro and stylish. The rooftop bar isn't large, but it's pleasant to have a drink and enjoy the breeze. The only downside was that one of my phones couldn't access the Wi-Fi login page for some reason, so I had to rely on my data the whole time. Also, because it's so retro, the lighting is quite dim. If I were traveling alone, I probably wouldn't choose to stay here.FromVND 2,500,068

Siam Bangkok|2.39km from city centre
I was very lucky to get an upgrade, and the room was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The gym has a comprehensive range of weight training equipment, and there are even free trainer-led classes every day at 3 PM, which I found to be a great value.
There's also a game room, delicious meals, and plenty of free, good coffee on the first floor.
On the first day, I asked housekeeping for two extra bottles of water, and every day after that, my room had four extra bottles – that was very thoughtful.
The only minor drawback was that the hot water was a bit unstable.FromVND 2,422,546

Siam Bangkok|3.73km from city centre
The hotel is located in a relatively bustling area, right next to the King Power Duty-Free Shop, which makes buying souvenirs very convenient (you need to register your passport information on the first floor to enjoy tax-free shopping). The hotel environment is beautiful, and the swimming pool is crystal clear. The only downside is that there are only two treadmills in the gym, so you often have to wait in line if you want to run in the morning.FromVND 2,647,359

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|0.82km from city centre
Facilities: This place is perfect for young trendsetters, not in a 'nightclub' way, but more like a playground for the fashionable crowd.
Cleanliness: The pillows and bedding felt incredibly smooth and crisp, a refreshing change from the damp feeling I experienced at a hotel in Pattaya.
Location: Absolutely in the heart of the city, can't beat it! Close to the subway and within walking distance of many attractions, right next to the Pixel Building.
Service: Warm and welcoming, meeting Marriott's luxury standards, as expected. When I went to Paii for dinner, the staff even addressed me by my last name.
🐝 Bonus: I especially loved the MIX cocktails in the room! Shaking up my own drinks in the evening and sharing the 'Cocotail' fun with friends was a highlight! Highly recommend! ❤️🔥FromVND 4,492,370

The room was very spacious.
Hygiene: Very clean.
Environment: The hotel is a bit old, but the room has been newly renovated.
Service: Since the three-bedroom suite wasn't available for extension, I rebooked this room. After checking out of the original room, we stored our luggage at the front desk and went out. When we returned, the front desk had already processed the check-in for the new room. As soon as we got to the room and put our luggage down, the staff delivered the luggage we had stored at the front desk.FromVND 841,108

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|0.82km from city centre
I stayed for 3 nights. The location is good, but it's a bit of a walk from the nearest BTS station, which was a little tough with a large suitcase. However, it's easy to get around by calling a motorcycle taxi via Grab. Although it's one of the lower-tier Hilton brands, the breakfast exceeded my expectations with a great variety and delicious food.FromVND 1,096,929

Sukhumvit Bangkok|3.87km from city centre
The hotel is located in the Sukhumvit area. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. During my first stay, the room was nice and well equipped with everything I needed, including large bottles of shampoo and body wash, a hair dryer, a kettle, tea and coffee, a wardrobe, and a small working area.
However, my experience during my second stay was not quite as good. There was a small hole in the door, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, although it was not possible to see through it from outside. The sink was also clogged. The staff were very helpful and immediately sent someone to fix it. When it could not be repaired, they kindly upgraded me to a family room.
Despite the issues with the room, I was very impressed with how the staff handled the situation and took care of me. The location is also convenient, with a 7-Eleven and several restaurants nearby. I would stay here again if I needed to attend a meeting in this area.
The only downside is that the surrounding area can feel a little unsafe or uncomfortable when walking alone at night.FromVND 1,135,690

This hotel is great! There's a huge shopping mall just across the street, making shopping and dining super convenient. Plus, it's connected to the MRT, so getting around is a breeze. There's even a spa chain on the first floor, perfect for relaxation. The staff are friendly, and the cleaning service during my stay was excellent. I was so satisfied that I've already booked my stay here again for next March.FromVND 1,209,335

Suvarnabhumi Airport/Bang Na Bangkok|12.89km from city centre
The hotel looks nice from the outside, and the staff were polite. However, the room felt a bit dated and could benefit from some maintenance and refurbishment. The pillow had a slight odor, and a few facilities in the room were showing signs of wear, such as the soap holder, bidet spray, and toilet seat.
The bathroom could also use more attention to detail, as I noticed some spider webs.
One thing to be aware of is that the hotel appears to be popular with China groups, and the lobby was often quite busy. At times, some guests were lying down in the lobby area, which made the atmosphere feel an uncomfortable.FromVND 399,236

I have a 20kg luggage which I have to carry down by stairs from BTS station. The room a bit old. No slipper provided no bathrobe no toothblush. AC is not working well.

Pratunam Market Bangkok|3.41km from city centre
I had previously visited this hotel on an excursion from Pattaya. Now, traveling with my daughter to Koh Samet via Bangkok, we didn't hesitate to book this hotel again. I wanted to show my daughter the revolving observation deck on the 84th floor, the museum, and the large, diverse dinner buffet. We stayed on the 28th floor. The staff was welcoming, and the hotel's floor layout is well-planned. The reception is on the 18th floor. We were greeted immediately upon arrival, our luggage was taken care of, and we were escorted to reception. We were checked in a bit early, at 1 PM, and led to our room. The door opened and… I was surprised. The exterior impression didn't match the interior. The room was spacious, but had low ceilings, old and worn-out furniture. It was a corner room and very dark, with only one small, narrow window (very dirty) and unwashed curtains, overlooking a neighboring hotel wall. You could barely catch a glimpse of the city (we had booked a non-corner room with a city view). The large room had only two small lights, perhaps to hide the room's surprises. The entire room had carpet (which also seemed ancient). The bed linen and towels were clean but visibly old and worn from countless washes; the duvet cover even had pilling, and the towels were far from white – they really should have been replaced. The carpet also extended throughout the hotel corridors, which I believe contributed to the musty smell in both the room and corridors, a smell even the air fresheners (sprayers located everywhere – in corridors and lifts) couldn't mask. During housekeeping, the maid constantly turned on the air conditioning in our room. Initially, we didn't understand why. We went to reception to return a misplaced card (thinking the maid had left it during cleaning), and they told us to leave it on so the air conditioner would run. Then the picture became clear: if you turned off the air conditioning, an unpleasant smell filled the room, and even the sewage smell from the toilet carried through the ventilation. Strangely, there's no ventilation in the toilet, so we had to leave the door open when we left the room and keep the air conditioning on 16°C. This hotel is in dire need of renovation! The room's price doesn't reflect its condition. The hotel has a sports area with mini-golf and a small swimming pool (also from the same outdated facilities). There's also a floor with a spa and fitness center. On the 18th floor, there's a small shop and a few cafes. The food at the hotel, both breakfast and dinner, was excellent. You can dine on the balcony (with glass railings) on the 81st floor – the view is superb. This is the only thing that makes up for the hotel's aging facilities. There's a free transfer to the airport metro line – which is great! I recommend staying on the upper floors for a magnificent view! I only recommend this hotel for short stays.FromVND 1,771,366

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|1.75km from city centre
Came here for our anniversary trip, and at this price, it was truly a steal. The service is five-star, but the facilities are four-star at best.
First, the pros:
1) Excellent service. They upgraded our room knowing it was our anniversary and even sent us dessert.
2) Housekeeping was very prompt, even cleaning twice. The first time was for general tidiness, and the second was for detailed touches (like laying out absorbent mats, etc.). My cosmetics were also neatly organized.
3) The room was very spacious, with comfortable bedding and a sofa.
4) They provided aromatherapy candles and other amenities, and someone even knocked on our door every evening to deliver facial mist.
5) High floor with great views.
Now, the cons:
1) Currently undergoing extensive renovation, so the public areas are very small. The hotel lobby entrance requires going through a narrow, cardboard-partitioned corridor, which looks undignified.
2) Due to the renovation, check-in was on the 19th floor, and the waiting time was extremely long. It was the longest I've ever waited to check in. Every time we returned to our room, we had to go to the 19th floor to switch elevators to the guest room area.
3) A bit far from the subway station. Although there's a shuttle service, it's hourly and requires advance booking, so we didn't end up using it.
4) The in-room facilities are indeed old. The showerhead was difficult to use, with low water pressure and couldn't be fixed in place.
5) The TV placement was puzzling, but we didn't watch it anyway.
I [redacted] but the hotel didn't offer any other plain porridge options... just a verbal mention.FromVND 5,097,038

Overall, we had a good stay at Amari Bangkok. The hotel is comfortable, well located, and the service was good. Everything was great, but housekeeping could be improved.
We stayed for 3 nights and the room was not vacuumed at all during our stay. It would have been perfect if housekeeping could at least vacuum the room on alternate days, especially for a multi night stay.
Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.FromVND 2,294,636
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
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
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
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 (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
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 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.
Best time to visit Bangkok 🌤️
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.
Here’s our summary to help you choose when to visit, depending on what you’re looking for:
Season | Weather | Reviews | Activities & Festivals |
🌸Dry season (Nov-Feb) | Pleasant (21-32°C) | It’s THE best time to visit! Little to no rain, manageable heat, and clear skies. | Loy Krathong (Floating Lantern Festival), New Year, Christmas markets |
☀️Hot season (Mar-Jun) | Scorching (25-40°C) | It's seriously hot and humid, but April brings such a wonderfully festive vibe! | Songkran in April (get ready for a giant water fight to celebrate Thai New Year!), cultural festivals |
🌧️Rainy season (July-Oct) | Humid and rainy (24-32°C) | Heavy but short showers (1-2h), far fewer tourists, and everything is beautifully green. | Incredible hotel deals (30-50% off), lush greenery, and vibrant local festivals. |
