3-star hotels in Ratchathewi
Fifteen 3-star hotels in Ratchathewi, Bangkok, all with guest ratings of 4.1 or above. This shortlist is for travellers who want an efficient central base near Phaya Thai and Ratchathewi BTS, whether for a short break, a family trip or business.
Staying in Ratchathewi
Ratchathewi is a working residential and student district rather than a tourist strip, with low-rise sois and a Bangkok Thai crowd instead of tour buses. Suan Pakkad Palace on Sri Ayudhya Road, eight traditional Thai teak houses filled with Ban Chiang pottery and royal antiques, is one of the area's genuine hidden gems and easy to cross off in a morning. The shopping heart of Bangkok, Siam Paragon, MBK and CentralWorld, is one BTS stop away at Siam interchange.
The hotels here sit in the sois off Petchburi Road and around Phayathai Road: Soi Petchburi 11, 13 and 15, Soi Somprasong 3 and Sangkarn Alley all appear in their addresses. That puts Phaya Thai station, the Airport Rail Link terminus, a 10-minute walk or one BTS stop away, and the Sapan Hua Chang canal pier a five-minute walk south of Ratchathewi BTS. Couples and solo travellers get small, well-rated bases, families have family rooms at several addresses, and business travellers have business centres at Metz Pratunam Hotel and My Hotel Pratunam.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Phaya Thai station, a 10-minute walk or one BTS stop from these hotels, is the Airport Rail Link terminus: 30 minutes to Suvarnabhumi with no transfers, the most efficient airport connection in central Bangkok. Ratchathewi BTS is one stop from Siam interchange, so any BTS destination in the city is at most one transfer away. From Don Mueang, take the A1 airport bus to Mo Chit BTS. For the Old City and Grand Palace, take BTS to Saphan Taksin and the Chao Phraya Express Boat, or the Khlong Saen Saep canal boat from Sapan Hua Chang pier, a five-minute walk south of Ratchathewi BTS.
When to go
Ratchathewi is a working residential and student district, people are around at all hours, the sois are lit, and the BTS stations have staff until after midnight. The site notes one caution: the elevated walkways around Phaya Thai station have a few beggars and rough sleepers late at night, harmless but startling if you are not expecting it. Standard city precautions apply. The Suan Pakkad Palace museum is almost never crowded, so an easy morning there works at any time of year.
