If you’re looking for a good value but central place to stay in Bangkok, then try Chetuphon Gate Hotel. It is near the all the key central sights of Bangkok and actually overlooks the stunning Wat Pho, with many of the rooms having direct views over this historic temple (photo taken from room 305). It is a 10-minute walk from the Grand Palace, where the world-famous Emerald Buddha is housed, and only a few minutes from the boats that take you over the river to Wat Arun. 

The rooms are small, but clean and well looked after, with everything you need provided, including towels and shampoo in the bathroom. They also include WiFi in the price, and have air-conditioning, which is much needed on the stifling summer nights in the city. 

It has a small cafe downstairs, opening at 8am every morning with very friendly staff. Coffee is about 55฿ a cup, and it has a Western menu alongside the Thai food. Highly recommended are the panini, a welcome relief from hot Thai curries, and they’ll set you back about 120฿ each. On a good day, you can take breakfast out on the deck before venturing off into the city.

All this makes Chetuphon Gate just the perfect place to explore Central Bangkok, a small hotel with a cult following, one we think you’ll love.
