Hotels in Bangkok currently start at about € 31 per night for two people, with a typical price of € 67 and € 70 for a comfortable 4-star room.

Bangkok has the deepest hotel supply in Southeast Asia, and the difference between a good stay and a frustrating one is almost entirely whether you are near a BTS Skytrain or MRT station. Traffic can turn a three-kilometre trip into 45 minutes. The upside is remarkable value: rooms, pools and service that would cost three times as much in Europe.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 389 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.

Best transport, malls, restaurants and the widest hotel choice.
Business district by day, night markets and rooftop bars by night; two train lines.

Rooms within walking distance of what you actually came for.
Never let anyone tell you a temple is 'closed today' — it is a scam to reroute you to a shop. Agree taxi meters before setting off.
November to February is cool, dry and the most expensive — still cheap by global standards. March to May is very hot; June to October brings afternoon rain and the best rates of the year. Songkran in mid-April and the New Year fortnight fill the city.
