Question 4

Is Lancaster Bangkok a good hotel?

Accepted Answer

Guests rate it 4.6 across 2000 reviews. It's a luxury choice for Bangkok.

Question 5

How many nights do I need in Bangkok?

Accepted Answer

Four nights is the minimum to see the main temples, a market, Sukhumvit and one day trip; five or six is better. Three nights forces you to skip either Ayutthaya or Chatuchak Weekend Market, both of which are worth keeping. If you want the river resorts on the Thonburi side to make sense, add a night — the commute across is not something you want to do daily. Anything over a week and people usually pair Bangkok with Kanchanaburi or a flight down to the islands.

Question 6

How do I get from Suvarnabhumi Airport to my hotel?

Accepted Answer

Take the Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai — 26 minutes, ฿43, then change to the BTS. A metered taxi to Sukhumvit runs ฿330-14 including the ฿66 airport surcharge and expressway tolls, and takes 40-70 minutes depending on traffic. Grab is a fixed ฿390-18 to central areas. Don Mueang, the low-cost airport, uses the A1 bus (฿30) to Mo Chit BTS or a taxi at ฿390-18 for 45-90 minutes.

Question 7

Do I need to rent a car in Bangkok?

Accepted Answer

No — a car is actively a bad idea inside Bangkok. Traffic on Sukhumvit and Rama IV can crawl for hours, parking is scarce and expensive, and the BTS, MRT and Chao Phraya Express Boat cover almost everything a visitor wants. Rent a car only if you are driving to Kanchanaburi or Khao Yai, and pick it up on the way out of town. For Ayutthaya, take the train from Hua Lamphong or Krung Thep Aphiwat station — it is cheaper and faster.

Question 8

Is Bangkok better for families or couples?

Accepted Answer

Both, but the areas differ. Couples do well in Thonglor, Ekkamai, Ari or on the river in Thonburi, where the mood is calmer and dinner is the point of the evening. Families should look at Sukhumvit around Phrom Phong (BTS) — family rooms in the four-stars, Emporium and EmQuartier malls next door, and Benjasiri Park across the road. Skip Khao San with children, and check whether your hotel counts under-12s as free — many Bangkok properties do.

Question 9

What should I book in advance in Bangkok?

Accepted Answer

Book hotels for mid-December to early January six to eight weeks out; the four-stars on Sukhumvit and the river resorts sell out first. Chinese New Year week and the three nights of Songkran (13-15 April) also need advance booking, especially around Khao San and Silom. The train to Ayutthaya you can buy on the day, but the sleeper train to Chiang Mai should be reserved a week ahead. Everything else — restaurants, tuk-tuks, day tours — is fine on arrival.
