Most tourists prefer staying in Pratunam and Sukhumvit due to the close proximity to the main shopping malls and BTS train stations. However, if you frequent Bangkok and want a change, you may consider staying in Ratchada/Huai Khwang district, especially if you love Chatuchak weekend market, Or Tor Kor Market and local malls like Union Mall and Central Ladprao. It is also near Bangkok’s New CBD at Asoke-Ratchada and well-served by the MRT line.
One major five-star hotel not to be missed in this district is Swissotel Ratchada. From the main road, the facade of Swissotel Ratchada looks majestic with its mega high ceilings in the lobby.
Rooms
At Swissotel Ratchada, there are 407 spacious rooms and suites with panoramic city views.
