There is definitely no shortage of hotels in Bangkok. Whether you are on a budget or can afford to splurge, consider staying at one of Bangkok's many new boutique hotels opening up everywhere overnight.
Just what is a boutique hotel in Bangkok exactly?
A hotel in the boutique class are small though the rooms are quite spacious. Most of these hotels have fewer than 20 rooms, though there are a few with at least 50. But the distinguishing factor between a boutique hotel and a mainstream hotel is the emphasis on hospitality. Since boutique hotels are smaller in stature guests can expect to feel more personal service. Though don't expect to be pampered as if you are in a 5 star luxury hotel.
Many of these hotels are operated and run solely by Thais. So the room rates are very affordable and are considered in the budget range. And since most of the boutique hotels in Bangkok have just opened recently the property itself is in excellent conditions.
You can find many boutique hotels in central Bangkok such as:
Bedrooms Boutique Hotel
Sacha's Hotel Uno
Paradiso Boutique Suites
All of the hotels mentioned above are near a BTS Sky Train station so that most of the major shopping destinations and attractions can be reached easily and quickly.
And if central Bangkok is too hectic and noisy for you then head up just a little bit towards the northeast to Khao San Road.
This quiet little neck of the woods is not far from central Bangkok. Though Khao San road is a popular backpacker's den in the recent years many hotels have sprouted up:
Navalai River Resort
Boonsiri Inn
Buddy Lodge
Finally, which ever hotel you are planning to stay in here is one really good money-saving tip. It is best to reserve your room through a licensed hotel booking agency that is based in Bangkok. Such agencies are in a better position of acquiring better discounted room rates since they are contracted as wholesalers with hotels throughout Bangkok, so you can expect to receive 20% to 40% off.
