It can be a bit overwhelming to choose a hotel in Bangkok. There are so many locations to decide between, with a wide range of prices. The first decision to make is whether you want accommodations along the water, or deeper within the city. I prefer to stay in unique and economical hotels rather than large and expensive luxury hotels that do not necessarily reflect the culture of the country I am visiting. I also like to find a hotel that is close to public transportation and near a lot of good food. I decided to make the Sukhumvit area our home base, and we stayed at the lovely Seven hotel.
