Amari Hotel and Resorts, Pratunam Hotels

Sky-high buildings and rock-bottom prices recommend this bustling shopping district north of downtown. The revolving observation deck of Baiyoke Tower II, Thailand's tallest building, overlooks Pratunam's vast wholesale open air fashion market. Visitors can also cool off at air-conditioned Platinum Mall or visit the night market on Ratchawithi Road near the lofty spire of Victory Monument.
