FAQ

Where to stay on a first visit to Bangkok?

For department stores, stay in Siam · Chit Lom; for easy transfers and lots of food options, stay in Sukhumvit · Asok. Both are on the BTS line.

How to get from the airport to the city?

Suvarnabhumi Airport has the Airport Rail Link into the city; from Don Mueang Airport, take the SRT Red Line to Krung Thep Aphiwat Station and transfer. For late flights or lots of luggage, book an airport transfer.

Is the riverside convenient for getting around?

Farther from BTS stations, but some hotels run free shuttle boats or shuttle buses to a BTS station; check whether your hotel offers one before booking.

How is the price band determined?
