It’s easy to find accommodation for any budget in Bangkok, with affordable guesthouses and hostels not exceeding more than 20 USD per night. On the other hand, a night in the luxurious Mandarin Oriental or the Siam goes for at least 500 USD per night. Each area of the city has its own attitude, so visitors can choose their accommodation based on their interests, such as staying in Sukhumvit, Chatuchak, or Pratunam for those who love to shop while many historical sites are situated along the Phra Nakorn area of Rattanakosin Island. Make sure to reserve your accommodation from 30-60 days in advance to take advantage of the best promotions on offer.
