Hotels in Thailand

Thailand, a global leader in hospitality, offers visitors a wide variety of places to stay from five-star luxury resorts to budget beach bungalows. Visitors can live sumptuously in one of the capital’s elegant hotels or stay comfortably in one of the province’s moderately-priced guesthouses.

Bangkok boasts some of the world’s best hotels as well as some of Asia’s most budget-friendly accommodation. Khao San road caters to the backpacker crowd while the riverside area of Rattanakosin is home to the acclaimed Hilton Millennium. Sukhumvit road has hotels for every budget, from no-frills rooms to lavish self-catering studios.

Siam Square has well-known international chain hotels, but if you are looking for a less expensive alternative try Soi Kasemann 1 near the Jim Thompson House. Along the Chao Phraya River, Silom and Suriwong roads are popular among visitors for their lively night markets and entertainment venues, among which sit a number of hotels.

Outside Bangkok, accommodation options are equally plentiful. Popular southern destinations such as Koh Samui, Krabi and Koh Phi Phi have an assortment of hotels in natural, beachside settings as well as bungalow operations that allow you complete privacy.

Chiang Mai in the north boasts big name accommodations such as Shangri-la, Holiday Inn and Sofitel, yet there is also a wide selection of budget guesthouses and condominiums or those staying long-term. Off the beaten track accommodation tends to be more rustic with home stays a popular option.

Thailand’s peak tourist season from November to March sees many popular hotels fully booked, so it’s wise to make a hotel reservation online in advance.
