Bang Rak
Bang Rak covers the Samyan edge of the stadium, where the hotel streets run between the university and the river. Staying here means the ground is a short walk away and the shophouse lanes are quiet at night. Two Bang Rak addresses on this list are Chatel Samyan Self check in, 390 m from the stadium with a lounge and kitchen, and Ideo Q Condo By Favstay, 540 m away with a kitchenette and air conditioning.
Phra Nakhon
Phra Nakhon is the historic core district of Bangkok, the peninsula on which Rama I founded the capital in 1782, and it holds the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Suthat and the Democracy Monument. The district has almost no BTS or MRT access, and most getting-around is still on foot, by taxi or by river boat, with little English signage on side streets. Basing yourself here puts the stadium and the monuments close together.
