You have decided to visit Asia for your next vacation and have decided to go to Bangkok, Thailand. Your flight is booked but you are still looking for a hotel. But, how do you decide which hotel to stay at?
Your decision should be based on what you plan to do while you are "Krung Thep". Will you be spending most of your time sightseeing, shopping or enjoying the nightlife? You don't want to waste valuable time in a Bangkok taxi inching along Sukhumvit Road.
Siam Square area is a good place to stay if you want to have some fun shopping. There are hundreds of small shops at street level and the Siam Center and the Siam Discovery shopping centers have many up-market brand label shops. On the top floor of Siam Discovery Center there is a cinema complex with some of the most comfortable seats to be found in the world. After a hard days shopping, relax and lie down as you watch a movie!
Another great shopping mall nearby is Mahboonkrong (MBK). It will take only 10 minutes to walk there from Siam Square and you will find literally hundreds of smaller shops and stalls, selling many goods at bargain prices. Electronics and clothes are the specialties here. Both of these areas are on the Skytrain routes and are easily accessible.
If you plan on seeing other parts of the country, taking ½ and full day trips, I suggest you book your hotel near the Bangkok Airport. Make sure that you stay near the new Bangkok Airport - Suvarnabhumi and not at Don Muang. Only stay in this area if you do plan to go to Bangkok proper. Bangkok Airport hotels are conveniently located and easy to get to from Suvarnabhumi.
If soaking up the Bangkok nightlife is your reason for visiting, there are a few different areas you can stay. If Patpong Road is your destination, stay either on Silom or Suriwongse Road. The Nana Entertainment Plaza is on Sukhumvit and Soi 4 (or Soi Nana) and there are a variety of hotels - everything from the JW Marriott to the Majestic Suites or the Dynasty. In the Soi Cowboy area, you can stay anywhere near Soi Asoke, Soi 22 or anywhere along Sukhumvit Road and just catch the Skytrain.
Probably, your hardest decision will be selecting your hotel since there are so many 4 and 5 start hotels in Bangkok. For the budget traveler, there are also cheap hotels in Bangkok. Some hotels that I recommend are: Windsor Suite Hotel Bangkok, Viengtai Hotel Bangkok, Radisson Hotel Bangkok, or the Amari Airport Hotel Bangkok. Another solution is to do a search for Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit in any search engine. Or visit my Thailand Link Directory.
Do your research, and look for a discount Bangkok hotel, and enjoy your stay in the Land of Smiles.

Phuket Hotels - A Good Value For Money
Phuket is one of the places that enjoys great popularity as a travel destination in Thailand. The popularity of this city lies in its stunningly beautiful beaches, the lovely Phuket town and its picturesque natural beauty amongst other things. This is the largest island of Thailand lying at the Andaman Sea coastline in southern Thailand. Phuket Town is the administrative center of Phuket Province and the main center of population in the province. Phuket is popularly known as the Pearl of Andaman and offers something for every traveler. It is placed 867 km away from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, and is a perfect vacation destination for leisure as well as corporate guests. This island is a great combination of white sandy beaches, superb hospitality and reasonable accommodation option. There are wide range of hotels in Phuket of different categories and price range that suite the pockets of all travelers coming here.
Climate in Phuket is hot and humid throughout the year. Being a premier tourist attraction, language is not a problem here. English is widely spoken in this province and especially in the popular places of attraction like beaches and Phuket town.
Some of the beaches that serve as major attractions here include Bang Tao, Surin Beach, Laem Singh Beach, Kamala Beach, Patong Beach, Karon Beach, Kata Yai Beach, Kata Noi Beach, Ao Chalong, and Rawai Beach amongst others. Ko Yao and Kho Hae or Coral Island are two beautiful islands in Phuket that must be visited during your sojourn here.
Tourists can arrive in Phuket via the Phuket International Airport located towards the north of the island. There are regular flights to Bangkok, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and direct charters to Europe and Australia during peak seasons. The nearest railway station of Phuket is located in Surat Thani at distance of about 5 hours from the city. Besides, there are regular buses available to mainland destinations like Bangkok, Chumphon, Surat Thani, Satun, Krabi and so on. Ferry services also connect this city with other destinations like Ko Phi Phi and Krabi.
The main places of interest for international tourists in Phuket are generally the beaches and the bars. But, Phuket does have few good places to see like the Phuket Town, Wat Chalong Buddhist temple and Phuket Fantasea show at Kamala Beach. Other activities to do here include enjoying elephant ride, visiting animal sanctuaries, playing golf, experiencing spa and different water sports.
Phuket offers ample accommodation options. There are various hotels, lodges and guest houses where you can fit in as per your budget and comfort. In fact, Phuket is popular for offering cheapest accommodation options. But this city also possesses some good luxury hotels and resorts as well. To book hotels in Phuket, you can take the help of the online Internet reservation facility. You can either directly visit the official website of a hotel for booking a room or can use the help of any other authentic website that offer complete information.
