Bangkok's luxury hotel history begins on the Chao Phraya, where Mandarin Oriental Bangkok has occupied the same riverbank site since the nineteenth century and The Peninsula Bangkok answers it from the Thonburi shore. All 18 ranked properties here hold MICHELIN Keys, two of them at three keys and eight at two, and seven appear on The World's 50 Best Hotels, one of the strongest showings of any city in this index.
The city rewards contrast. The Siam is a Deco villa compound upriver in Dusit, Capella Bangkok sits low along the water at Charoenkrung, and Aman Nai Lert Bangkok stands inside the old Nai Lert garden estate off Wireless Road. Four kitchens in these hotels appear on La Liste.

Where to stay in Bangkok
The riverside stretch from Charoenkrung up to Dusit holds the grandes dames and the newest arrivals alike, while Sathorn and Silom offer garden calm at The Sukhothai Bangkok, and the embassy quarter around Wireless Road and Ploenchit, home to Aman Nai Lert and Rosewood Bangkok, puts BTS stations and shopping malls within a short walk.
When to go
The cool, dry window from November to February is peak, with Christmas and New Year the tightest; April and May bring severe heat, and the monsoon months from June to October are the quietest of the year.
