Bangkok Airport Transfers

Bangkok has two main airports used by travelers: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK). BKK is usually used for many international flights, while DMK is common for budget airlines and domestic flights.

Suvarnabhumi Airport Transfers

1. Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link

Airport Rail Link

The Airport Rail Link is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get from Suvarnabhumi Airport to central Bangkok. It is best if you are staying near Phaya Thai, Makkasan, Siam, Asok, or Sukhumvit areas.

  • Time: Around 26 minutes to Phaya Thai
  • Fare: Around 15 to 45 THB
  • Best for: Solo travelers, budget travelers, light luggage
  • Main connections: Phaya Thai for BTS, Makkasan for MRT
  • Why choose this: Fast, affordable, avoids Bangkok traffic

The Airport Rail Link fare is around 45 THB from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Phaya Thai and around 35 THB to Makkasan. Trains usually run from early morning until midnight.

Travel Tip: If your hotel is not near a train station, take Airport Rail Link first, then use BTS, MRT, taxi, or Grab for the final part of the trip.

2. Public Taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport

A taxi is better if you have big luggage, arrive late at night, or travel with family. Official airport taxis use the meter, but extra charges may apply.

  • Time: Around 35 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic
  • Fare: Meter fare plus airport surcharge and tolls
  • Best for: Families, groups, late-night arrivals
  • Pickup area: Level 1 taxi area
  • Extra cost: Airport surcharge and possible baggage fees

Suvarnabhumi Airport states that public taxi fares start with the meter rate, plus a 50 THB airport surcharge. Baggage fees may also apply. Grab is also available at Level 1, Gate 4.

3. Private Airport Transfer

Private transfer is the most comfortable choice if you want someone waiting for you at the airport. It is also good for first-time travelers, families with kids, or those arriving after midnight.

  • Time: Around 35 to 60 minutes
  • Fare: Higher than taxi, depends on car type
  • Best for: Families, groups, seniors, heavy luggage
  • Why choose this: No need to queue, fixed pickup, direct to hotel

Don Mueang Airport Transfers

1. Airport Bus A1, A2, A3, A4

Don Mueang Airport Bus

Airport buses are useful if you want a cheap way to reach BTS, MRT, shopping areas, or the old city area.

  • A1: To Mo Chit / Chatuchak area
  • A2: To Victory Monument
  • A3: To Lumpini Park
  • A4: To Sanam Luang / Khao San Road area

A1 and A2 buses cost 30 THB, while A3 and A4 buses cost 50 THB. A1 runs from 5:45 AM to midnight, while A2, A3, and A4 generally run from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

Travel Tip: If you are staying near Sukhumvit, Siam, or Silom, take A1 to Mo Chit, then connect to BTS or MRT.

2. Taxi or Grab from Don Mueang Airport

Taxi or Grab is easier if your hotel is far from BTS or MRT stations. It is also better if you arrive late or have many bags.

  • Time: Around 30 to 60 minutes
  • Best for: Groups, luggage, late-night flights
  • Tip: Always check the route and fare before starting the ride

BTS Skytrain

BTS Skytrain Route Map

The BTS Skytrain is one of the best ways to travel around Bangkok. It is fast, clean, and easy to use, especially for places like Siam, Sukhumvit, Chatuchak, Silom, and Saphan Taksin.

Key BTS Lines

  • Sukhumvit Line: Good for Siam, Asok, Nana, Phrom Phong, Ekkamai, Mo Chit, and Chatuchak
  • Silom Line: Good for National Stadium, Sala Daeng, Chong Nonsi, Saphan Taksin, and Bang Wa
  • Gold Line: Useful for ICONSIAM

The BTS system operates daily from around 6:00 AM to midnight.

BTS Fare & Tickets

  • Single Journey Ticket: Good for one ride
  • Rabbit Card: Best if you will take BTS many times
  • One-Day Pass: Good for unlimited BTS rides on the same day

BTS single journey fares start from around 17 THB and go up to around 47 THB, depending on distance. The BTS One-Day Pass is 150 THB.

Rabbit Card

Rabbit Card is a stored-value card mainly used for BTS. You can top up at BTS ticket offices and selected machines. The minimum top-up is 100 THB, and the stored value can go up to 4,000 THB.

Quick Tip: Rabbit Card does not work the same way as Hong Kong Octopus. It is mainly for BTS and selected connected services, so keep some cash or card for MRT, boats, and buses.

MRT Bangkok

Bangkok Metropolitan Rapid Transit Network

The MRT is another important train system in Bangkok. It is useful for Chinatown, the Grand Palace area, Chatuchak, Sukhumvit, Silom, and railway stations.

Key MRT Stops Travelers Should Know

  • Sukhumvit: Connects to BTS Asok
  • Chatuchak Park: Connects to BTS Mo Chit
  • Silom: Connects to BTS Sala Daeng
  • Sanam Chai: Best for Grand Palace and Wat Pho area
  • Wat Mangkon: Best for Chinatown
  • Hua Lamphong: Good for old Bangkok and railway area

MRT Timings & Frequency

The MRT Blue Line usually operates from 6:00 AM to midnight, with trains around every 7 minutes during normal hours and around every 4 minutes during peak hours. The Purple Line has slightly different timings, with weekday service from 5:30 AM to midnight and weekend or public holiday service from 6:00 AM to midnight.

How to Pay for MRT

  • Buy a token at the station
  • Use an MRT stored-value card
  • Use contactless card payment where available
  • Use the BEM MRT app to check routes and station information

BEM also provides fare calculation and route information for MRT Blue Line and Purple Line.

Travel Tip: BTS and MRT are different systems. Some stations connect, but you may need to exit one system and enter the other again.

🏨 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to look for Bangkok hotels near major attractions to make your sightseeing more convenient!

Bangkok Buses

Bangkok Buses

Bangkok buses are cheap and cover many areas, but they can be harder for first-time visitors because traffic is heavy and some signs may be in Thai. Still, buses are useful for budget travelers and local areas not covered by BTS or MRT.

Why Take Buses in Bangkok?

  • Very affordable
  • Good for local neighborhoods
  • Useful when train stations are far
  • Good backup when traveling short distances

Tips for Taking Bangkok Buses

  • Prepare small cash
  • Use Google Maps or ViaBus app to check routes
  • Press the stop button before your stop
  • Avoid peak traffic hours if possible
  • Keep your belongings close

Best for: Budget travelers, local areas, short trips, and travelers who already feel comfortable using maps.

Chao Phraya River Boats

Chao Phraya River

River boats are one of the most scenic ways to travel in Bangkok. They are useful for places near the river, including the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, ICONSIAM, and Asiatique.

Popular Boat Options

  • Chao Phraya Express Boat: Good for local-style river transport
  • Tourist Boat: Easier for first-time visitors
  • Hotel shuttle boats: Some riverside hotels and malls provide shuttle boats
  • Private longtail boats: Good for tours, but agree on the price first

Chao Phraya Express Boat’s Orange Line fare is 18 THB flat rate, Yellow Line is 23 THB flat rate, and some other routes have different fares depending on the section.

Best Boat Stops for Travelers

  • Sathorn Pier: Connects to BTS Saphan Taksin
  • Tha Chang: Grand Palace area
  • Tha Tien: Wat Pho and Wat Arun crossing
  • Ratchawong: Chinatown area
  • ICONSIAM Pier: ICONSIAM shopping mall

Travel Tip: If you want to visit temples near the river, BTS to Saphan Taksin plus boat is usually easier than taking a taxi through traffic.

Taxis in Bangkok

Taxis in Bangkok

Taxis are everywhere in Bangkok and can be affordable, but traffic can make the journey slow. They are best for late-night trips, hotel transfers, or places not close to train stations.

Taxi Tips

  • Ask the driver to use the meter
  • Prepare small cash
  • Show your destination on Google Maps
  • Check if toll fees are needed
  • Avoid taking taxis during heavy traffic if you are in a rush
  • Use Grab if you want a clearer fare estimate

Tuk-Tuks

Tuk-Tuks

Tuk-tuks are fun for short rides and photos, but they are usually more expensive than taxis for tourists. They are best as a travel experience, not your main transport.

Tuk-Tuk Tips

  • Agree on the price before riding
  • Avoid “too cheap” rides with shopping stops
  • Best for short rides only
  • Not ideal during rain or heavy traffic
  • Keep your bag close

Best for: Short experience ride, photos, night market area, old Bangkok streets.

Motorbike Taxis in Bangkok

Motorbike Taxis

Motorbike taxis are one of the fastest ways to move around Bangkok, especially during heavy traffic. You can find them near BTS stations, MRT stations, malls, hotels, markets, and busy streets. Drivers usually wear orange numbered vests, and they are best for short rides.

Why Take a Motorbike Taxi?

  • Faster than cars during traffic
  • Good for short distances
  • Easy to find near stations and malls
  • Useful when your hotel or attraction is not near BTS or MRT
  • Good for solo travelers with small bags

How to Take a Motorbike Taxi

You can take a motorbike taxi from a roadside stand or book through ride-hailing apps like Grab, depending on availability. For roadside motorbike taxis, ask the price before riding. For app bookings, check the fare, pickup point, and driver details before confirming.

Motorbike Taxi Tips

  • Always wear a helmet if provided
  • Avoid motorbike taxis if you have big luggage
  • Do not use it during heavy rain
  • Keep your bag close to your body
  • Use it only for short trips
  • Choose BTS or MRT if you are not comfortable riding on a motorbike

Best for: Solo travelers, short trips, traffic hours, quick rides from BTS or MRT stations to hotels, cafés, markets, or attractions.

Ride-Hailing Apps in Bangkok

Grab

Ride-hailing apps are helpful in Bangkok, especially when you do not want to explain your destination. Grab is commonly used, and other local transport apps may also be available depending on your phone setup.

Why Use Ride-Hailing Apps?

  • Easier destination input
  • Fare shown before booking
  • Good for late night
  • Useful when traveling with luggage
  • Less language problem

Quick Tips

  • Check pickup point carefully
  • Some malls and hotels have fixed pickup areas
  • Prices may increase during rain or peak hours
  • Compare taxi, Grab, and BTS depending on time

Siam Bangkok|2.01km from city center
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.

This is a repeated stayed and I stayed for 8 nights. The room price is good value that why I chose here. Staffs are polite n helpful. Room is spacious and clean. Car parking service is available if you drive. The hotel provide shuttle service from 8am to 8pm at every 30 minutes to bts station or you can walk 7 minutes to station if your miss it. Nearby has a famous mango sticky rice shop you should try it at sukhumvit soi 53. There is another one called Ning’s Mango stand @Food Street Soi 38 which is opp the famous mango shop. Both equally good so try both. Highly recommended for this hotel and I will definitely come back.

The only issue with this hotel was the slow Wi-Fi. If you're staying here, you might need an unlimited data plan. The entire hotel staff was incredibly proactive and attentive, and they could communicate in basic Chinese. We checked in around 3 or 4 AM, and all our check-in documents were already prepared for us, making the process very efficient. The lobby can help receive food deliveries and packages, and collection is also very meticulous and convenient. The room space was ample. Although the facilities were visibly a bit dated, they were very well-maintained. There were quite a few mirrors, and when my friend expressed some concern about the room's decor, they promptly helped us adjust it. The bathroom had a slight odor, but it was within an acceptable range. There's a 7-Eleven right downstairs from the hotel, and the location is very close to both the BTS and the Airport Rail Link, making it very convenient to get to the city center.

Great location, very close to the BTS Skytrain. You can easily walk to the Erawan Shrine and Central World. The hygiene was well-maintained, and the service was excellent. Facilities are comprehensive, with a pool and gym, though they are a bit small. The rooms, however, are quite spacious. The welcome drink was a thoughtful touch. The hotel has a distinct medieval gallery style, and the theme really stands out. The room was very quiet, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. The staff were very warm and attentive.

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.

Silom/Sathon Bangkok|0.82km from city center
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! ❤️🔥

Silom/Sathon Bangkok|0.66km from city center
This was my second chance of redemption visit to The Standard hotel. The aesthetics and friendly staff here are what made this visit OK! But compared to other 5* hotels in Bkk this is missing some service touches. No welcome drink/room gift, no one by the pool with free water unless you order something from the bar and then they bring water... Makes the experience feel budget star. 4 bottles of comp water in the room is not enough once you use two bottles to make coffee, a preference on coffee capsules would have been nice... I didn't think to request in advance all decaf. There was also no milk to go in the coffee. I didn't want to go through the efforts to request more as I was busy. The hotel music is somewhat better than others but does feel like ai sludge after a day of sitting poolside. The pool felt uncomfortably busy at late afternoon sunset hours. If you want to tick this hotel off your list 1-2 nights is enough, the beds are super comfy, although mine squeaked sometimes, and the linen was top quality, as we're the super fluffy soft bathroom towels -then nicest I've felt in a long time! The nearby soy silom 5 market is a delight but closes by 2pm!

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.

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.

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.

This is my second stay here, the last time was ten years ago when it was still called Red Planet. The hotel is better maintained than I expected, and the 7-Eleven downstairs is still there. Taking a Grab Economy from the airport plus tolls cost about CNY 80. The hotel's location is excellent. I'm a good walker, so I could easily reach BTS Chong Nonsi, Sala Daeng, and MRT Silom/Sam Yan on foot. The hotel doesn't provide toiletries, and the room space is quite limited, something to consider if you have large luggage. Soundproofing is just okay; it's generally quiet at night, but I always wear earplugs to avoid being woken up. One night, a compatriot staying in the next room was talking loudly on the phone. However, for CNY 200 in such a convenient location, what more could you ask for? I'm perfectly fine with it.

Pratunam Market Bangkok|3.41km from city center
This was my second stay here, this time on the 45th floor. The room was still good, but my previous stay was in a higher-tier room with a floor-to-ceiling window and a higher floor, which was naturally more comfortable. I'd recommend booking as early as possible to get a better room type for roughly the same price. The air conditioning temperature couldn't be adjusted, and it was a bit too cold at night, so if you're sensitive to cold, bring extra long-sleeved clothing. The great thing about staying here is the opportunity to enjoy the changing light throughout the day and night, and to go up to the free 360-degree rotating observation deck to overlook the entire Bangkok – it's fantastic for photos. However, if you want to take pictures with people in them, using the restaurant's balcony during breakfast (which is paid) provides better photo opportunities. You can also move between different balconies to get a 360-degree view of Bangkok. While the breakfast itself is just average, the unparalleled view is, in my opinion, well worth it! I usually arrange this as my last hotel stop before returning home because the Pratunam area is convenient for buying souvenirs, and I feel secure leaving my luggage here. Taking the A3 bus to Don Mueang Airport is also convenient and quick. However, be aware that this time when I waited for the A3 at the bus stop at the alley entrance, I was misled by the ”A3, No Service” message on the bus stop sign, thinking it meant the service was suspended. In fact, it runs approximately once an hour, so it likely meant the electronic display couldn't read the schedule information. Checking bus times on Google Maps is more reliable. If you're going to Suvarnabhumi Airport, the Airport Rail Link City Line is equally convenient. Regarding souvenirs or personal items, if you need pain relief cream, I found that 'Tai Ru Yi' inside The Market Bangkok was much cheaper than Big C next door (Counterpain Hot 120g, 135 baht; Cool 120g, 144 baht). Bio Treatment hair mask sachets were 8 baht, and the red label 3-in-1 milk tea packs were 45 baht for 100g (180 baht for 500g, but this 500g pack wasn't the cheapest – I saw the cheapest at the red label milk tea branch in the basement of Robinson Department Store near BTS S6 station, 165 baht for 500g (50 baht for 100g)).

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.

The staff responsible for luggage storage were incredibly kind. However, the check-in staff, while they spoke English, only communicated in single words. 😅😅 It wasn't an issue for communication, though... Check-in is from 2 PM. If you arrive before that, they offer complimentary drinks and luggage storage, so you can drop off your bags and head to the mall. (The malls are a bit further than expected. Walking and taking a bike takes a similar amount of time, so if you have the energy, walking is fine, but if you want to save time, a bike is good.) They also store your luggage after check-out, which is convenient for getting around. The room itself looks ordinary from the outside. It has everything you need, and the fridge and AC work well. The TV has Netflix and YouTube. However, the bathroom sink tile was broken, the showerhead was old and peeling, and there was severe limescale. The bathroom was DIRTY!!!!!!!!! ;;;; For food delivery, there's a GrabFood locker (unattended collection box), so you just scan the QR code in the Grab app and pick up your order. I chose this hotel because the pool was said to be large. It gets deeper as you go in (seems to be about 2 meters deep), and in the morning, there weren't many people, so I could swim comfortably. (There's a slight chemical smell.) The waterslide was fun. It's connected to the gym, which looked like it had good facilities.

Overall, the stay was pleasant. We received two room cards upon check-in, which was very convenient for two people as we didn't have to constantly wait for each other. The location is excellent, very close to the BTS station, making it easy to travel to various attractions. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs, which is handy for grabbing drinks, late-night snacks, or daily necessities. Additionally, if you need to do laundry during your stay, there are several self-service laundromats nearby within walking distance, which is very convenient for longer stays. Overall, the biggest advantages are the convenient transportation and good amenities. If you're primarily visiting Bangkok for tourism and plan to use the BTS daily for your itinerary, this is a very convenient place to stay.

The location is very convenient as it is just a stone's throw away from Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT. My original booking was for jacuzzi room but it was under maintenance when I arrived. They did upgrade me to a bigger room. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly. There are great food options from cafes to local food. And Terminal 21 is just a 5 minute walk away. The quickest way from the airport if you are traveling light i.e. Carryon luggage is to take the airport rail to Makkasan Station and walk to Phetchaburi MRT. Take one station to Sukhumvit MRT use the skywalk at Asok BTS towards Nana BTS and take the stairs down on the right. After that, it's just a 2 minute walk to the hotel.

The hotel provides a convenient shuttle bus service to the BTS station. There's also a small mall right across the street, making lunch options easily accessible. Additionally, the hotel has a hot spring, perfect for a relaxing soak in the evening. When I went at night, no one else was there, so I had it all to myself. The swimming pool is also very clean.

Stayed 2x weeks, it’s Located at 7-10 mins walks to Pom Phrong BTS, which is a big far in case of rainy days or at afternoon which could be scorching hot. But hotel provide half hourly shuttle which complimented this inconveniences. The only problem is limited seat for shuttle🫠, only single shuttle. If you missed have to wait another 30mins or walk back or take Grab😔. There is onsen inside the hotel which make this hotel very very special to me. I truly enjoy and like the onsen features. Another stood out thing is the social Night event every Monday-Wed evening, for an hour free flow of drinks and snacks, something impressed me, unique for this hotel. Though I did not patron every single day. I ate out every night regardless of this, it is a nice place to chill and socialise there. In-room washer make the long stay very pleasant and convenient, so as plenty of drinking water provided. There is no scenery view from hotel due to its location. The breakfast is average , where in some days below average. I truly enjoyed almost daily their swimming pool and onsen, just the operating hours only start at 7am which is a bit late. If could start at 6am instead would be perfect, else it will be a bit rush after use , prior go to work at 8am. The services was excellent. I would rate it 4 star instead , gates by its location and breakfast spread/ food. Aside from this they deserve 4.5star. Will stay again in future if visit BKK again. Oya, there is mini Japanese grocery minimart below the hotel, provide almost most of daily necessities, if you need it. There is pharmacy and 7-11 in opposite road and Tops besides it. Few atas massage shop near by with higher price, further down to BTS you could find cheaper one.

I had a wonderful stay at SILQ Hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was incredibly spacious and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. One detail I loved was the scent; the room smelled amazing every time I returned from the heat outside—it felt like a true sanctuary. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond, helping us with our needs and even coordinating with our Grab drivers to ensure everything went smoothly. The food on-site was also delicious! The only minor thing to note is that it isn’t right next to the BTS (about a 7-10 minute walk), but the quality of the stay makes that walk totally worth it. Definitely a 5-star experience!

The check-in lobby is beautiful, and the entire hotel is stunning. The breakfast restaurant on the 11th floor is also lovely, and the food selection is excellent. Our connecting room for a family of four offered incredibly beautiful views, including a glimpse of the bustling Sukhumvit commercial district in the distance. The 27th floor has a swimming pool and game room; the city and sunset views from the pool are also gorgeous. The gym is on the 28th floor. Next to the hotel on the ground floor, there's a 24-hour 7-Eleven in the adjacent office building, and the 50th floor features a restaurant with a view. The hotel's location is convenient for visiting Siam, Central shopping malls, or the Sukhumvit commercial area. One Bangkok is directly opposite, and just one stop away are the Dusit Thani hotel and mall. I would definitely consider staying here again.

You might be lucky and get a good room right away (do not book the orange one!!!), but I had to change room twice. One was on the floor with carpets, very old, dark and with the smell of mold, AC was making unbearable noise. Another one was fully renovated with the smell of paint or glue, so after a night there, I had a terrible headache (assuming mild chemical poisoning), so please be careful. It was new, but wasn't very clean (someone fake eye lashes on the table, some lost jewelry piece and some tiny rocks here and there, taking a shower, water was literally everywhere because of the way it flows, not very well thought through). Some other friends heard construction all the time. Then staff showed me 2 other rooms the next day and I finally got a good one. Was a very comfortable roo. With a great view. (The door wasn't working well, so had to ask staff twice for help). They were helpful, but they obviously know hotel is not in the best condition. I will avoid this place in the future, as it wasn't the most pleasant experience, it shouldn't take seeing 4 rooms to find one to be able to rest in.

Great stay at Qiu Hotel Sukhumvit! I really enjoyed my stay at Qiu Hotel Sukhumvit! One of the things I appreciated most was the daily room cleaning and fresh towels, which made the stay really comfortable. The hotel also has a great atmosphere, especially with the live band and happy hour from 2–8 PM. It’s such a nice way to relax after a day out. Check-in and check-out were super easy and convenient, which I really appreciated. The hotel also has some cute facilities, including a little mini-golf putting area, swimming pool, and gym, which added to the overall experience.

The hotel is in a good location, close to both the BTS and metro stations, as well as Lumpini Park, the night market, and Silom Street with its bars. I chose the hotel because of the rooftop bar and pool , but unfortunately, during my stay, were closed and will remain they were closed, but no one notified me about this in advance, and the hotel card also does not indicate that these places are temporarily closed (this is not a couple of days, the pool and bar are closed from July 20 to September 9), but unfortunately, which was very disappointing. There's construction going on next to the hotel, which makes it noisy, but overall, the hotel meets the price/quality criteria.

While Room 1701 is larger than a typical hotel room, it feels dated, and the old towels are definitely ready to be replaced. The bathroom weighing machine is a mechanical scale (quite an antique). A major downside is the curtain setup: bright morning light poured in from the top of the curtains and woke us up at 6AM every morning. Something is wrong with the design of the pelmet. The hotel does provide a helpful ONE-WAY shuttle service (via tuk-tuk or van) to the BTS, MRT, and local malls. Just keep in mind that the exact drop-off points vary depending on the driver, though you will always be left within walking distance.

The restaurant is comfortable, and the food is delicious with a good variety. The location is very convenient; On Nut station is right downstairs, Tesco Lotus is across the street, and Big C is about a 5-minute walk away. There's also a massage street nearby if you're looking for affordable massages. The most pleasant surprise was their thoughtfulness. I assume they noticed it was my daughter's birthday during check-in, as we found a small decoration and a cake in the room when we returned! My daughter was thrilled, and I was touched by their attention to detail. Thank you so much!

The hotel is right opposite the National Stadium, about a 2-minute walk from the BTS Skytrain station, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. You can take a taxi or the Skytrain, and even the food streets and night markets are just a 15-minute walk away. This is quite convenient given Bangkok's notorious traffic! The room isn't huge, and the facilities show a bit of age, but it's a cozy space with everything you need, offering a relaxed Thai ambiance. My favorite part was the pool on the 11th floor. Although it's not very big, it's super relaxing. 😎

We had such a pleasant stay at Centara Watergate Pavilion Hotel. The hotel team was incredibly friendly and always greeted me whenever we crossed paths, which made the stay feel very welcoming. Although the breakfast selection was somewhat limited, the food was so delicious that we looked forward to breakfast every morning. Starting each of our three days with a nice breakfast was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The in-room dining was also soooo good! I honestly didn’t expect the food service to be that delicious, and it was definitely another highlight of the stay. Another lovely surprise was a small birthday surprise from the hotel. I hadn’t mentioned or communicated anything about the birthday, so we were genuinely touched that the team went out of their way to make the occasion special. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made our stay even more memorable. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to shopping malls such as CentralWorld and Big C. However, due to the nearby construction, the traffic around the area can be quite heavy. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and truly appreciated the warm hospitality and thoughtful service.

This time, we stayed in the newer section, which locals call Bangkok Ji. The advantage here is that it's only about a 5-6 minute walk to the BTS station; you just walk a few steps downstairs and you're there to catch the BTS. Plus, there's a local shopping mall and a night market nearby, which is quite convenient. Overall, the hotel is quite large, but the downside of this particular section is that it's very close to a bridge, so if you open the balcony door, the traffic noise can be quite loud. However, the view is still decent. The breakfast is a mixed buffet. The overall facilities are a bit dated, but they are generally well-maintained. There's also a ferry service to Iconsiam across the river, running approximately once an hour until evening, which is also convenient!

The highlight of my entire Bangkok trip was unexpectedly this hotel! It's hands down the best family-friendly hotel I've ever stayed in. Initially, from the photos, I thought it would just be similar to the Mandarin Oriental Singapore's family rooms, but it absolutely blew that out of the water. This hotel genuinely puts effort into its service. The family room actually had a Nintendo console, a children's toilet, and a full set of Sebamed children's toiletries that were replaced daily. All the complimentary snacks were incredibly delicious and something you can't buy elsewhere! The living room also had a kitchen and a washing machine, making it feel just like home. Both the room and the living/dining area were spacious enough, not cramped at all. The family room even had a secret little door for kids to go back and forth from the living room – no child could resist a family room like this! The hotel breakfast was also incredibly delicious! The staff were all very friendly! In short, if I ever come back to Bangkok, it will definitely be for this hotel! It's absolutely worth every penny!

You can definitely tell that the hotel has some history to it, and unfortunately, its age is starting to show. There were noticeable stains on the curtains and bedsheets, as well as quite a bit of wear and tear on the furniture and amenities. The lift buttons also didn’t work very well and could be frustrating to use. The biggest concern for me, however, was the bathroom floor. I’m not sure if it was due to the material used, but the floor became extremely slippery once it got wet, which is difficult to avoid when using the shower. It felt like a potential safety issue and was ultimately the deal breaker for me. The location is also quite a distance from the nearest MRT station, so it may not be the most convenient option if you plan to rely heavily on public transport. On a positive note, the hotel staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. I genuinely appreciated their hospitality and assistance, and they were definitely one of the highlights of the experience. Unfortunately, despite the wonderful service from the staff, the overall condition of the hotel and the bathroom safety concern mean that I would likely choose to stay elsewhere on my next visit.

Bangkok Transport Tips for Filipino Travelers

Bangkok is easy to explore if you use the right transport. For popular areas like Siam, Sukhumvit, Chatuchak, Silom, and Chinatown, take BTS or MRT to avoid heavy traffic.

  • Keep some Thai Baht cash for buses, boats, taxis, tuk-tuks, and motorbike taxis.
  • Use Grab or taxi for late-night trips, airport transfers, or when carrying luggage.
  • Try river boats for temples near Chao Phraya River, such as Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and Grand Palace.
  • Avoid taking taxis during rush hour if your destination is near BTS or MRT.
  • Prepare a Thailand SIM card or eSIM so you can use Google Maps, Grab, and translation apps easily.
  • Before your flight, submit the Thailand Digital Arrival Card and check eTravel Philippines requirements when returning to the Philippines.
