Hotels in Ratchadaphisek
a focus in sharp contrasts

By Eric Lim


Swissotel Bangkok Ratchada - the pride of Ratchadaphisek

Hotels in Ratchadaphisek are Bangkok hotels located within a 6 km stretch of Ratchaphisek Road between the Ratchadaphisek subway station and Petchaburi junction. It's a busy area bustling with commercial, office and condominiums with a variety of food and entertainment outlets.

These Bangkok hotels are located in an area consisting of condominiums, night clubs, offices, restaurants, shopping malls and supermarkets.

Ratchadaphisek Road is actually a much longer road stretching from the Rama IX Bridge to the south up to Wong Sawang Road and the Rama VII Bridge to the north. This 30 km road loops round east of the city center linking the suburbs on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya River to the city.

Ratchdaphisek Road also links to the Vibhavadi-Rangit highway leading to the old international airport at Don Muang. Traffic in the area of the hotels in Ratchadaphisek is horrendous, although two underpasses were built in recent years to ease congestion.

Thankfully, the Bangkok subway runs under this section of Ratchadaphisek Road from the Petchaburi to the Lad Phrao junctions providing fast and convenient transportation to:

  • Chatuchak weekend market (Chatuchak station)

  • the Sukhumvit entertainment area (Sukhumvit station)

  • the Silom entertainment area (Silom station)

  • old Chinatown in Yaowaraj (Hua Lam Pong terminal station)

Almost all the hotels in Ratchadaphisek are near and within walking of the Bangkok subway. The following stations serve this area; Petchaburi (PET), Phra Ram 9 (RAM), Thailand Cultural Center (CUL), Huai Kwang (HUI), Sutthisan (SUT) and Ratchadaphisek (RAT).

We'll start with the hotels in Ratchadaphisek near the Petchaburi junction and subway station and proceed northwards.

A-One Bangkok Hotel  D Varee Xpress Hotel Makkasan

FX Hotel Metrolink Makkasan  

The Petchaburi junction is congested. There's a mass of expressway flyovers and a level crossing just north of the junction, giving the area the dismal air of a rundown industrial town.

The hotels here are like havens from the urban congestion outside.

The Suvarnabhumi Airport Link stops at the Makkasan station which is linked by a skybridge to the Petchaburi subway station

Roseate Ratchada  Royal Pacific  

The Fortune IT Center next to the Grand Mercure Bangkok Fortune where you can buy computers and almost any accessory or add-on under one roof.

Shopping is far more pleasant here than at Panthip Plaza in Pratunam where you can be constantly pestered by pesky touts pushing pirated CDs. The center also includes a supermarket, fast food outlets and telecom shops.

Huai Kwang

You'll know you're in Huai Kwang from the numerous glitzy night clubs, karaoke lounges and massage parlors, euphemistically termed "entertainment complexes", with erotic names like Emmanuelle. Others prefer to invoke the names of mighty Caesar and Poseidon.
