Bangkok Hotels

Hotels in Bangkok offers fantastic value to the western traveller, with five star hotels usually at prices you’d expect to pay for three star elsewhere. For cheap hotels in Bangkok at bargain prices, join the backpackers at the hostels on the Khao San Road, some of which are quite comfortable. Otherwise, head for Sukhumvit to experience the city’s bustle, or the riverside neighbourhoods to escape it.

The Bangkok hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over US$220)
Moderate (US$150 to US$220)
Cheap (under US$150)
The prices quoted above are the lowest standard rates for a double room, excluding VAT and excluding breakfast, unless otherwise specified.

Many of the more upmarket hotels in Bangkok quote their prices in US dollars. Payment can usually be made in either Thai baht or US dollars. Hotels in Bangkok will usually add a service charge of 10% service charge and VAT at 7% to the hotel bill at the end. This tax could change as it is a government levy.
