Top hotels in Ploenchit
Conrad Bangkok
The hotel was good, even if the building looked a bit dated. The biggest issue was that the welcome fruit in the room seemed to be moldy. Absolutely not the kind of thing I expected of a Conrad property.

Grande Centre Point Ploenchit
Spacious and very clean room. The only downfall is this is a dry hotel so if your looking for a hotel to have a drink after getting back from a long day this is not the hotel for you.
