2. Red-light district – Patpong (Soi 5 and 4) is a major red-light area, and it can be a bit too loud all night long, but Patpong covers a small portion of the Silom neighbourhood. If you are not into that kind of stuff, pick an area away from Patpong, and you’ll be fine.

The neighbourhood is well connected with both the BTS and MRT systems to commute around the city easily. As this area is in the heart of Bangkok, the traffic on the roads can be terrible up to late at night. This is something you can expect anywhere in central Bangkok, but having access to both BTS and MRT will save you a lot of time stuck in traffic.

The Silom neighbourhood will be a little quieter than Siam and Sukhumvit Road but still packed with bars, clubs, international restaurants and some shopping areas. Silom is another area for a smaller backpacker community with many cheap guesthouse and hostel.

The hotels in this area are typically boutique hotels or other high-end hotels, but it still offers many other budget hotels.

Silom is an excellent alternative to Siam and Sukhumvit if you are looking for a relatively quiet location but still have great access to public transportation, nightlife, restaurants, shopping and the Patpong area if you are into the red-light stuff.

2. This neighborhood is a bit rundown compared to nearby neighborhoods like Siam and Silom. But has more of the authentic Thai experience.

Top Places to Eat in Pratunam Area

Summary

The Pratunam neighbourhood is situated in the heart of the city; therefore expect it to be crowded with intense traffic. It is a hectic but active place with lots of shopping opportunities for budget shoppers and other people looking to buy wholesale products. Products include bargain Thai brand men/women fashion, shoes, sports equipment, handbags, cosmetics, souvenirs, household items and everything else.

Just remember you can haggle with many of the shops in this area, if you are buying many items with the same owner, you will have more bargaining power. You cannot do much haggling inside those big shopping malls around Siam and other shopping malls.

On top of that, you can find many affordable hotels as well as cheap street food, other authentic Thai and international restaurants.

Overall, the Pratunam neighbourhood will offer you a more authentic Thai experience with its Thai markets, street food, Thai brand fashions. But you’ll still be within walking distance to Siam if you’re looking for brand name fashions, more modern looking malls or something more upscale.

After the completion of the subway line (MRT – Ratchadaphisek Station), the Ratchadaphisek neighbourhood became a hot spot for nightclubs, pubs, bars and other entertainment venues. Although, it mainly caters to the local Thais.

Unlike the night scenes in the Sukhumvit Road area, which is awash with foreigners, the Ratchadaphisek night scenes lack that touristy vibe, although you will find more tourists from Korea and Japan, as very few westerners travel here.

Overall, do not expect too much in this neighbourhood other than eating out and Thai clubs.

Summary

Don Mueang Airport neighbourhood is similar to the last neighbourhood in Suvarnabhumi Airport. This area is not aimed to attract tourists. So, if you’re looking for a holiday getaway or a romantic retreat, great nightlife, shopping etc., this is not the area you want to stay in.

The only reason you want to stay in this area is – you have a flight to catch at the airport, or your plane landed late at night, and you need a place to rest.

The Don Mueang neighbourhood is a regular Thai residential and business area located in the northern part of Bangkok. It is a relatively bar-free area, and not there’s not much nightlife. It is far from the public transportation BTS, MRT and ARL systems. Getting to the nearest MRT station at Phahon Yothin Station will take you at least 30 minutes if during the rush hours it might be longer.

However, you still have an army of meter-taxis that you can use or use the Grab app to hail a taxi. You should avoid the tuk-tuk as there are too many complaints about scams and they tend to cost more than a meter-taxi.
