Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square is close to many shopping malls with great facilities including a large outdoor pool with a sauna room and a day spa. We really enjoy shopping at our doorstep. Besides, getting around in Bangkok is easy with BTS Siam Paragon is located next to the property.

Baiyoke Sky Hotel – Featuring panoramic views of Bangkok, Baiyoke Sky Hotel stands at 88-stories, making it Thailand’s tallest hotel. The location is superb, with a 5-minute walk to Ratchaprarop Airport Rail Link Train station, and several metro stations nearby.

In a Box Hostel is a popular pick among budget travelers. The location is superb and just a step away from the Phaya Thai BTS Station and Phaya Thai airport railway link.
