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
🎉 Pro Tip: Check out our guide on Bangkok Airport to City, including airport transfer options, costs, routes, travel time, and simple tips to reach central Bangkok smoothly.
✈️ Pro Tip: If you are planning a trip soon, look for flights to Bangkok early so you can get better prices and more schedule options.

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

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

Best for: Late-night travel, groups, luggage, short distances outside train lines.

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

Nice hotel and great staff. The facilities are great too. Nice swimming pool and the gym is open til late. Also has table tennis and a nice on site bar. Breakfast buffet was a nice selection. The location isn’t that great, not near any metro and the area isn’t that nice. Everything else is great though!

Silom/Sathon Bangkok|0.28km from city center
The hotel's location is excellent; it's convenient to get anywhere in Silom and very close to the BTS Skytrain. There are large shopping malls, restaurants, massage places, and parks nearby, making it super convenient. We stayed on the 29th floor, and the view was fantastic; we could see what I call the 'Key Building.' The breakfast was plentiful, with delicious rice noodle soup, a great selection of salads, and a wide variety of egg dishes with an à la carte menu right on the table. The 25 Degrees Burger on the ground floor is fantastic, with vegan options, and the fact that it's open 24 hours is super convenient. Just a few steps away is a Mother Cow, which has tasty, non-fishy drinks and sugar-free options. The front desk and concierge staff were polite and attentive. The rooftop restaurant has a dress code. I loved the swings next to the elevators in the lobby. There's a self-service laundry nearby, very close, with new machines, and you can get everything done in an hour. The lady who cleaned our room was lovely. It was a pleasant stay.

Sukhumvit Bangkok|5.68km from city center
I checked in around 7 pm (8/oct)Thursday. Unfortunately, the staff member working at the front desk that evening was not very welcoming. When we arrived, there was nobody at the counter, so we waited for a while , then calling out for assistance. A staff member eventually came out from the back while eating something in her mouth , but there was no apology for keeping us waiting, and the check-in experience felt quite unfriendly. We also had trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi. When we asked for help, the staff member took my phone without much explanation and showed us what to do in a rather abrupt manner. The way they handled the situation made us feel uncomfortable, so our first impression of the accommodation was not great. Thankfully, the staff working the following morning and afternoon were both friendly and helpful, which made the rest of our stay much more pleasant. Perhaps we were just unlucky with the staff member on our first evening. On the positive side, the location is very convenient, with plenty of food options nearby. We did notice a few ants inside the accommodation, around three in total, but otherwise, the stay was acceptable for the price. Overall, I wouldn’t consider this a five-star accommodation, but it offers reasonable value for money. If you’re looking for an affordable place to stay in a convenient location and don’t expect luxury-level service, it’s still worth considering.

This hotel is conveniently located near Phaya Thai BTS station, making it easy to get to from the airport and to travel around the city. While the hotel facilities are a bit old, they are still in good condition, and the service is excellent. The price was very reasonable during the National Day holiday. It's also close to Factory Coffee, which is great for a quick visit.

The hotel is located centrally with good pedestrian access to the Ratchadamri and Chit Lom BTS stations. Furthermore, Central World, Gaysorn mall and a couple of other attractions are all either a 10 minute walk or short BTS ride away. The room are spacious and well equipped with the basic amenities. I did not get a chance to use the gym and pool facilities, but they were well maintained. Breakfast was decent with a combination of Asian and western food. There's a 7 Eleven within a 1 minute walk from the hotel as well as a cafe and restaurants. Overall a good hotel with great location.

Close to the alley with the duty-free shop, which is great for strolling around and has a 711 nearby. I recommend the nearby Nikko massage shop. 🏠🏠 Environment: A very standard five-star hotel. It offers a quiet escape in the middle of the bustling city, with a grand lobby and plenty of seating. 🛎️🛎️ Service: Good. Staff proactively helped with luggage. The breakfast was also delicious with a wide variety of choices, including Thai milk tea and coffee, as well as boat noodles and omelets. 🧸🧸 Value for Money: High. Booked a Deluxe Twin Room. The room is very large; the facilities are not brand new, but it was very clean and well-kept. They were also very generous with ice cubes upon request. The air conditioning was noisy at night. Items in the minibar are extra. Cons: A deposit was collected at check-in. I paid by credit card and haven't received the refund yet. Looking at other reviews, this isn't an isolated incident. This felt like a terrible experience!

Ups: The beds were soft and good, theres water dispenser if you finished the bottled water. The Gym is amazing and so is the pool! Love the location the most - right smacked in the middle of Yaowarat and it is so accessible to the nearest train station. Windowless room- they made effort to create a fake window scene so thumbs up for the effoort. The aircon works super well too, only that controls could be repaired as the temp can only go lower not higher. Downs: Room has flies- see photos - quite yucked out by it and toothbrushes are given only upon requests.

Here’s a polished, high-quality review you can use: I had a wonderful stay at Hilton Garden Inn Bangkok. The hotel offers a great combination of comfort, cleanliness, convenience, and excellent hospitality. The rooms were modern, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to assist, making the overall experience very enjoyable. The location is also a major advantage, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and other attractions in Bangkok. The atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing, while the service maintained the high standards expected from the Hilton brand. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend Hilton Garden Inn Bangkok to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Bangkok. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.

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 room was spacious enough, with plenty of room even with a large suitcase open. I was very satisfied with the service, which included a large refrigerator, daily water replenishment, and even free Coke and instant noodles. The bathroom also had a bidet, and the hot water flow and pressure were strong and comfortable. Regarding the location, there's a shopping center nearby and Big C is very close, so there's no problem with dining or shopping for groceries. On the other hand, I was bothered by a slight musty smell, perhaps due to the age of the building, and the noise from cars, as it faces a main road, was quite loud. If you can overlook the slight age and noise, I think this hotel offers excellent value for money in terms of convenience and service.

Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok|12.89km from city center
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.

Chinatown Bangkok|2.48km from city center
Checked in on October 3, 2026, after taking the MRT from Suvarnabhumi Airport. We stayed in room 1202, a 26 sq. m. Deluxe Room on the 12th floor with a city view in Bangkok's Chinatown. No street noise could be heard. As is typical in Bangkok, there is no balcony. Both the room door and the elevators are key-card operated for security. The bathroom features a full-sized bathtub with a great shower head, strong water pressure, and easy hot water adjustment. Toiletries provided include liquid soap, shampoo, shower gel, a shower cap, and cotton swabs. Lighting in both the bathroom and the room is a bit dim, relying mostly on corner lamps rather than overhead lighting. Amenities include a standard safe, slippers, a wardrobe with clothes hangers (though no umbrellas), a luggage rack, a desk with a mirror, a TV with YouTube, and a mini-fridge. The standard coffee/tea station includes an electric kettle, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, and 2 complimentary bottles of water in reusable glass bottles. The king-size bed was very wide with a fairly soft mattress and 4 pillows, and the linens were clean. There are two bedside tables with floor lamps. We weren't charged a security deposit. The built-in air conditioner was quiet, but blew quite strongly—we actually woke up cold in the morning even with the temperature set to the minimum cooling of +28°C. Given the room size, it might feel a bit cramped for a family with a child. The hotel's location is fantastic: just 450 meters to the MRT underground station and the same distance to the Chao Phraya River pier. There are plenty of 7-Eleven stores nearby and street food stalls on every corner. There is a small swimming pool with a jacuzzi area on the 23rd floor. It's quite shallow (around 80 cm deep), making it more suitable for soaking up the city views than for serious swimming. We went on an excursion to the King Power Mahanakhon tower, paying 1233 rubles per ticket to admire the city from 314 meters up. Honestly, it wasn't really worth it—the view from the hotel's 23rd floor is almost just as good, and it's already included in the room rate!

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)).

Silom/Sathon Bangkok|0.82km from city center
I recently stayed at W Bangkok for my trip to the city, and overall, it was a great experience, largely meeting my expectations for a W hotel. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to reach the major shopping districts in the city. There's also a BTS station nearby, which makes getting around pretty straightforward, especially for first-time visitors to Bangkok. The hotel's design truly embodies the W style – young, fashionable, and vibrant. The moment you step in, you're enveloped in a strong atmosphere. Both the public areas and the rooms are distinctively designed, and the hotel's vibe is particularly great in the evenings. The room was more spacious than I expected, and the facilities were quite comprehensive. The bedding was super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep during my stay. The bathroom also had ample space, and the overall cleanliness and room maintenance were impressive. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the taste was consistently good, with both Western and Asian choices to cater to different preferences. The hotel's pool and public areas also boast a fantastic ambiance; it's quite relaxing to just sit there and unwind on a nice day. I was also very satisfied with the service. The staff were friendly, and both check-in and check-out were smooth. They were also prompt in responding to any inquiries I had. All in all, I was quite happy with this stay. I'd say W Bangkok is particularly well-suited for those who appreciate hotels with a strong sense of design, atmosphere, and a youthful style. If you're traveling to Bangkok and hoping your hotel itself becomes an integral part of your travel experience, then this place is definitely worth considering. I'll likely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Bangkok.

I enjoyed a special package (90 minutes for around RMB 800, which also included afternoon tea on the 45th floor). The surrounding area is also very convenient. Just a heads-up: durians are not allowed back into the hotel! It's a good idea to download a translation app, as most of the hotel staff speak English and Thai... Fresh fruit was replenished daily in the room. Even though it's an older brand, it still stands strong, which shows that Banyan Tree definitely has its unique charm!!!

The rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is excellent. The facilities are a bit old, but the hotel has a charming local style. Breakfast is very rich and varied. I always choose to stay here for a few nights whenever I visit Bangkok. The hotel also provides a shuttle boat service to Saphan Taksin Station and ICONSIAM.

The hotel's location is excellent—CentralWorld and the surrounding malls are all within walking distance. The lobby is very comfortable, and the front desk even upgraded us to a higher floor during check-in. The room itself was pretty standard; it wasn't particularly large, but the space was well-utilized. The biggest selling point is definitely the location. Dining options nearby are super convenient, and there's even a McDonald's right downstairs.

The service staff were excellent, from the bellboy to the check-in attendant. The room was clean and quite spacious. All toiletries were provided, and there were even 4 bottles of water! The bathroom had a bathtub, and the water pressure was good. The air conditioning in the room was refreshingly cool, making for a very comfortable sleep. The hotel is located on Petchaburi Road, near an alley that connects to Sukhumvit 39. After checking out, it was easy to find some great restaurants around Sukhumvit. Overall, I really loved it and will definitely stay here again!

Ratchadaphisek Bangkok|5.42km from city center
There is a huge gap under the door, resulting in very poor soundproofing. If you're unlucky and have neighbors coming and going frequently, it gets very noisy. The room itself is generally okay, but booking here is a bit of a gamble as some floors feature much older facilities. Unfortunately, the cleanliness wasn't great either—there were tons of tiny biting midges in the room flying out from the bathroom floor drain. Also, during daily housekeeping, hairs and bath mats were never cleaned, and the bedsheets were just straightened up instead of being replaced, which we found extremely disappointing. For a 5-star standard, having facilities and hygiene levels this poor, coupled with such perfunctory housekeeping, means I will likely choose another hotel next time. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable, and the front desk staff were friendly and prompt with their service. The location is very convenient with the MRT right outside, making it easy to get to the night market, the bustling Sukhumvit area, and shopping malls.

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.

I absolutely have to give this hotel a big thumbs up! 1) **Service:** First off, the hotel staff's attitude and professionalism were excellent. They were patient, enthusiastic, and really service-oriented. There was a small hiccup where our room wasn't cleaned, and after a long day out, I was quite tired and a bit annoyed to find the room untouched. I had a long chat with service about it, and the hotel apologized and even sent some fruit as a gesture of goodwill. 2) **Cleanliness:** Extremely, extremely clean. 3) **Decor:** It has a quality feel, but some facilities have minor issues. For example, the showerhead handle in the bathroom and the handle for the hot spring pool were a bit loose and should really be fixed. 4) **Breakfast:** The variety isn't huge, but everything tasted delicious, and the dishes rotated daily. 5) **Pool and Hot Spring Sauna:** The hot spring and sauna were fantastic! The area isn't very large, so you need to book it at the front desk beforehand. Overall, it was a great experience. As soon as you enter the lobby, you're greeted with a lovely fragrance, and upon check-in, you receive a welcome drink voucher to enjoy on the 9th floor.

Had a very pleasant stay at Grande Centre Point Lumphini. The property is brand new, exceptionally clean, and nicely designed. The rooms are spacious with fantastic skyline views, and the daily free minibar is a great touch. Its location directly opposite the new One Bangkok mall and next to the MRT makes exploring effortless.My only critique is the check-in process. For a flagship 5-star property, making guests stand in a long queue to wait for room cards feels outdated. It would be a massive improvement if they offered arrival drinks or let guests sit comfortably in the lounge while the keys are being processed. Hopefully, management can look into this to match the high standards of the rest of the hotel. Still highly recommended!

Everything was very clean, modern, and beautiful—just like you see in the photos. The breakfasts were delicious and varied, with plenty of options to feed our child. At the reception, our child was given balloons, and they offered apples every day. The pool offers a great view of the city, there is a sauna (which my husband appreciated), and a playroom. The service was wonderful, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. A very pleasant young lady named Scarlet greeted us and saw us off. She showed us around, explained everything, and played so nicely with our son while we waited for our taxi. Overall, we had a wonderful impression of the hotel. If we visit Bangkok again, we will definitely stay here.

Siam Bangkok|2.19km from city center
Location: Nice location just 1 stop away from Siam, technically you could walk if you want to as the train was less than a minute. Easy to get to with the airport train, less than an hour to the hotel. The National stadium station is about a quick 3 mins walk to the hotel - but note for the exit to the hotel to take the stairs down on the correct side and refrain from taking the escalator down as you’d have to make one big loop. There is an escalator up on this side so no issues going up. Around the area there is a big lotus’s supermarket, 7-11, nicely priced massages and food around. Room: My 2 friends and I had the Trio Room which was great - lots of space for all of us. The room is clean and comfy. Bathroom is clean with cute and functional design. Complimentary water is available in the room. The only downside to this hotel is… the LIGHTING! The room is too dark and moody. After a long day of shipping and when you want to compare shopping buys it was too dark to do so and you have to turn on your phone flash light. Ironing board is available just call the front desk.

Hotel is located near one of the Airport Rail Link stations (Ratchaprarop Station). From Suvarnabhumi Airport, it only took me around 25 mins to get to Ratchaprarop Station and another 8-10 min walk to the hotel. The hotel is also walking distance to Pratunam Market, Platinum Mall and CentralWorld. The Deluxe King Room I stayed on the 16th floor is spacious, bright, clean and comes with a good city view. The housekeeping team kept my room tidy and clean throughout my stay. I think the hotel is a good choice for female solo travellers as the hotel’s surrounding is lively and brightly lit at night - I did not feel unsafe when going out/coming back.

The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam – Review 🇹🇭 Upon arrival, the hotel was easy to locate using Grab, and the staff were helpful with our luggage. The check-in process was quite convenient as we arrived early, so we registered first and returned after 3 PM to collect our room keys. However, I was a little disappointed with the check-in experience. I wish the hotel could install a queue barrier near the counter to ensure guests queue properly. Some guests would approach the staff and interrupt while others were still being attended to, which made the check-in process feel uncomfortable. Having a proper queue system would definitely make the experience more organised and pleasant for everyone. As for the room, everything was great! The room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. I have absolutely no complaints about the room itself. Overall, the room and the helpful staff made our stay pleasant, but I hope the hotel can improve its queue management during check-in for a smoother guest experience.

Right upon entering the lobby, you can feel the exceptional service. While the guest room shows that the hotel isn't brand new, both the cleanliness and the in-room amenities are very good, and the bedding is comfortable. The room faces west, offering a stunning view of the sunset. Considering the hotel's location and price, it offers incredible value for money. The breakfast at Millennium Hilton Bangkok features a rich variety and tastes great, maintaining the consistent standard of the Hilton brand. The ferry service provided by the hotel makes crossing the river very convenient. Room service prices are also shockingly cheap. Located right next to Iconsiam, it is a very short walk away. I took a Chao Phraya River cruise in the evening and it ended quite late, but getting back to the hotel was super convenient. The only minor drawback is that there is only a handheld showerhead. Although it's a Grohe fixture, the water flow isn't very strong. However, once I switched to my own filtered showerhead, the water pressure increased significantly.

Stepping out of the hotel, to the left, there are many restaurants that are both affordable and delicious. A few minutes' walk to the alley's end, and you can catch a bus to Bangkapi Mall.

The hotel has two swimming pools where you can swim while enjoying the river views. The overall atmosphere is very relaxing, making it perfect for spending a day in, simply enjoying the hotel's facilities. Dining options are also abundant, with delicious Thai, Italian, and Western cuisine available. You don't need to go out into the city to enjoy various culinary delights. Additionally, I highly recommend the Relax massage on the third floor of the hotel – it's incredibly comfortable after a day of exploring Bangkok's attractions. The surrounding area of the hotel is also very convenient. There are two 7-Eleven stores just a 2-minute walk away, along with many local eateries, markets, and massage parlors nearby, making it easy to venture out in the evening. Most importantly, for just over 4,000 baht a night, you get a hotel with full river views, pools, dining, and massage services. The overall value for money (CP value) is excellent. I highly recommend this accommodation for anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and scenic stay in Bangkok.

The receptionist told us yes it is big enough to fit all of us. It was only 700Baht. When it was time to go, they told us that they cannot fit all of us and we need a grab car to follow us. I was upset, but then they told us a mini van would be available for 1,000baht. It’s not the money that we’re upset but we had to wait for the other car to arrive.

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.
