I love Thailand so much and I would like to share a little bit of it – in this list, we'll go on Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. From my my multiple trips, I have stayed in multiple accommodations and these are some of my favs. I would want you to enjoy these accommodations as much as I do and that you don't have to make mistakes while choosing your accommodations. From one accommodation to another, I spread out my choice depending on my needs and wants at the moment. There are ones that I really need to stay super close to the BTS (train station), or if I want to experience the accommodation for its luxe and comfort, I would go around by Grab bike or tuktuk. Bangkok is super easy to maneuver and explore, no need to worry as everywhere you go, there will be Grab driver that is willing to pick you up, either by car or bike according to your liking. I also have my curated 7-day itinerary guide for Thailand – feel free to message me and I will send you the link. Enjoy your stay! Cheers xx
