It depends on your travel style and preferences. Staying near a BTS station or along the river are both great options. If you're looking to be close to the city's shopping and nightlife, the BTS stations along Sukhumvit offer easy access to many of the city's most popular attractions. However, staying along the Chao Phraya River can offer a more relaxed atmosphere, with stunning river views and easy access to the city's historic temples and cultural landmarks. Both areas offer their very own unique advantages. We recommend to choose a location that's most convenient for the activities you're planning during your stay.
