Best places to stay in Bangkok

Twilight view of the Chao Phraya River winding through Bangkok, flanked by glittering high-rise hotels and glowing bridges under a purple sky.

Bangkok is chaos and calm rolled into one electric experience. Skyscrapers and street food stalls sit side by side, golden temples rise above tuk-tuk traffic, and every corner is alive with scent, sound, and sparkle.
