There are more visitors to Bangkok every year than any other city in the world, and one of the main reasons for this is that it is a significant transport hub in South East Asia. However, many people are only in the Big Mango for a couple of days, before they travel on to other destinations, such as Koh Samui, Phuket, or Chaing Mai. If you are going to be travelling to Thailand on holiday and will be staying in Bangkok for a couple of days, here is how you can have an excellent time without getting overwhelmed in this vast, charismatic city.
Choosing The Best Location To Stay In Bangkok
With Bangkok being such a massive city, it is also a pain to get around sometimes, especially if you are not close to the BTS or MRT transport systems. Making sure that you stay somewhere central, such as Ratchada, is an excellent way to make your stay in the city more manageable. If you are looking for a hotel with a suite, Ratchada has plenty of fantastic options from which you can choose. If you are flying to your next destination from Don Muang Airport rather than Suvarnabhumi Airport, being in Ratchada makes it easy to get to quickly.
A Hotel With Everything That You Need
You will also want to ensure that your hotel in Bangkok has everything that you need to provide a comfortable stay. If you are an active person and like to work out, then you will want to choose a hotel that has a swimming pool, and gym that guests can use freely. You may also want to have room service 24-hours a day, or an excellent restaurant and bar to help you relax. If you need to do some work while you are away, then a hotel with business facilities is a perfect option for you.
Seeing The Sights Of The City
An excellent part of staying in Ratchada is that although it is a busy area of town, you will most likely see fewer tourists than if you were staying in Silom, Sukhumvit, or Khao Sarn Road areas. However, you are centrally located to get to everything that the city has to offer tourists, and there is plenty to do when you visit. Websites such as tripsavvy.com, are great places where you can get a lot of cool ideas of what to do for a couple of days in the city, and you can use these websites to help plan your trip. Whether you love or hate Bangkok, a short trip to this vibrant and cosmopolitan city can make for a memorable trip, and a couple of days is manageable for almost every traveller.
