3-star hotels in Thonburi
A shortlist of 15 three-star hotels in Thonburi, Bangkok's west bank, for repeat visitors and photographers who want canal life, dawn temples and a slower river commute. Ratings here run from 4.0 to 4.6 from guest reviews.
Staying in Thonburi
Thonburi was the capital of Siam for 15 years before Bangkok existed, and the west bank of the Chao Phraya still feels like a different city: a warren of khlongs, wooden houses on stilts, floating produce vendors and temples few tourists reach. The traveller-relevant strip runs from Wat Arun south through Kudi Chin and along the west bank to the boutique hotels around Klongsan and IconSiam, a 2018 luxury mall that became the west bank's transport hub, with free shuttle boats to Sathorn running every 15 minutes.
These hotels cluster in that same riverside band. Several sit on or off Krungthonburi Road and Soi Krungthonburi, while others lie along Charoen Nakhon, Charoen Krung and Rama II Road, with a few further out on Petchkasem Road or Ekkachai. It suits repeat visitors, photographers and anyone who has done the Grand Palace circuit and wants to see how the other 95% of the city lives. Couples and longer stays fit best; skip it if you need nightlife, you are only here two nights, or you find slow river commutes stressful.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Cross the river: the west bank is reached by boat and bus, not by taxi through rush hour, which drivers will refuse. The free shuttle boats from IconSiam to Sathorn (BTS) run every 15 minutes, and IconSiam is the transport hub for the area. Wat Arun is served by the cross-river ferry from Tha Tien, and you can walk back to the east bank over Memorial Bridge after the riverside route south. There is one BTS line, the Gold Line with three stops, and one MRT line that just opened; mostly you are on boats and buses.
