Hospitality
Bangkok is a travel city in which to spoil yourself, either in some of the world’s best rated hotels (according to Conde Naste), or in a good value Sukhumwit hotel. Even backpackers enjoy private rooms and sociable guesthouses on Khao San Road. Then there is the exceptional dining with international cuisine at prices everyone afford. And afterwards…a massage perhaps, pubbing, or a look in on the go go bars of Patpong and Nana Plaza, there’s certainly something satisfying for everyone in Bangkok. We’ve teamed up with Agoda to offer you quick and instant booking on more than 400 Bangkok hotels, often at unbeatable rates anywhere on the web!

Bangkok travel highlights
Established as the new capital 200 years ago, Bangkok has become one of Asia’s most important cities, where culture, history and modern sophistication curiously co-exist. The Grand Palace, Wat Po and Wat Arun are must seen sites from Bangkok’s illustrious past, along with Vinmanmek Teak Palace, Jim Thompson’s House, the Golden Mount and Giant Swing. These are all found over the Old Town, along with the intriguing bohemia of Khao San Road. Of course shopping is another highlight either in the plush Malls of Ratchaprasong district or back lanes of Chatujak market and Chinatown. And what would Bangkok be without its night attractions of the red light districts, Sukhumwit Road and sky-high bars?
