Top hotels in Wang Mai
Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam by IHG
Room was clean, location was very walkable to metro station, MBK and other malls. Mcdonald’s on the first floor was a huge plus, especially because breakfast was not always what I expected. Our room faced the open air stadium, which was so close we could actually see the audience! There were 3 concerts ...

Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel
Lovely hotel on the river with water taxi boat to take to the other side of river to take rapid transit system to the main shopping areas. Excellent breakfast buffet! Did not use the pool on rooftop deck but drinks and food were very pricey up there!

Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11
I left my watch in the room when checking out, and the receptionist (male – unfortunately I didn’t get his name) made the extra effort to rush to the room and get it for me. I really appreciated his help and the great service.
