You can live like royalty in the Old City, home of the Grand Palace. Alternatively, you’ll find 24-hour fun at Prantuan and resort-like hotels at Riverside.These districts are just some of the best areas to stay in Bangkok. Not only do they offer a good mix of high-end, mid-range, and affordable hotel options, but they're also close to several landmarks that you can check out during your stay.

Generally, driving a car in Bangkok and attempting to find parking is more challenging than it’s worth. The easier option is to hire a car and driver through the hotel, hire a taxi driver (or a motorcycle taxi, known as motorsai) or, for short trips, jump on a túk-túk. There’s also trains and boats depending on your destination.
Pack your sunscreen, comfortable shoes, modest clothing for the temples and a sense of adventure for a memorable holiday in Bangkok!
