Hotels in Bangkok

There are some very good hotels near Hua Lamphong Railway Station, which is in Bangkok’s Yaowarat (China Town) district. Yaowarat is an exciting area and the location of Bangkok’s most interesting temples, markets, and restaurants. Bangkok’s China Town has for many years been a much less popular area with foreign tourists than the Khao San or Sukhumvit districts of Bangkok. However, this is changing rapidly with better access and facilities being introduced to the China Town area by the city’s municipal authorities, including helpful English language signs having been installed on most major roads in the area. The hotels in the area have also improved with a thriving boutique hotel scene including some very well done conversions of Yaowarat’s wooden riverside homes, such as the excellent Loy La Long Hotel.
