The following 5 areas of Bangkok have been carefully chosen by Fish Thailand to provide 5 totally different experiences. The Bangkok & Bangkok hotel descriptions have been comprised from our many years of local knowledge, experience & personal inspection; while still bettering the internet giant's low rates.
Khao San is the budget backbackers hub of Bangkok. This vibrant and lively strip provides the budget traveller with every ultra cheap convenience from internet, overseas calls, accommodation, restaurants & street vendors. There are more low cost tour agents on this 1 street than any other road in Bangkok; offering cheap travel to all parts of Thailand. While there is a diverse & large market occupying both sides of the street, cheaper shopping for the same goods can be found in the Pratunam area of Bangkok. The nightlife is colourful but nothing erotic - this is found in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok. Khao San Road is a great place for backpackers wishing to meet other backpackers no a similar journey.

Many of Bangkok's world famous hotels are located along the Chao Phraya River, many of which offer free boat transfers to Bangkok's mono-rail (BTS) which leads you into the heart of Bangkok. Restaurants & markets are in no shrotage along the river and at night there are no sights more beautiful in Bangkok. There are many famous attractions within convenient reach of all riverside hotels in Bangkok, however if you enjoy a diverse selection of party bars and pubs then this is not the area for you.

Patpong night entertainment & Patpong market are the 2 best known attractions of the Silom area - although much busier & more conjested than the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok. For textiles of guaranteed high quality, the Thai-silk brand Jim Thompson is located here. The many shopping malls provide a huge choice of original designer clothing and goods, while copied goods can be found at the street & night markets. The Patpong erotic night scene is large and eye-opening but equally so are the scams that makes this area not so easing.
Sukhumvit is famous for it's nightlife zones offering every type of bar, pub, club and night time entertainment. Boasting a vast choice of fabulous restaurants, and being conveniently located to access all areas of Bangkok; Sukhumvit hotels are amongst the most popular choice. Both the night & day time vibe are slightly more friendly & honest than the Silom area - making it a great all round location.
