Holiday rentals in Bangkok, Thailand

There’s always plenty of nightlife on the go at all hours of the night in Bangkok, and the best neighbourhoods to find them are along Khao San Road, which is the backpacking party centre of the universe. The party doesn’t only happen in the trendy nightclubs here, like The Club, the entire street becomes one big party zone. It’s in the central Phra Nakhon district, and here you can stay at Tim Mansion or Korbua House. The other major party neighbourhood in Bangkok is Sukhumvit, which is an experience for all the senses. Here you’ll find plenty of rooftop bars and nightclubs. The Iron Fairy is one of the most legendary of these. Good Bangkok holiday rentals in this area include Dasiri Downtown Residence and The Landmark Bangkok. For more bustling nightlife, head to the Silom district, where you can book in at the Sathorn Terrace Apartment.

While Bangkok has a worldwide reputation as a youth party destination, it’s also a wonderfully scenic country in which to enjoy a holiday with the whole family. The beaches are world-famous, of course, so you can always fall back on that if you run out of other things to do with the kids. But there are many different choices when it comes to children’s activities that you can plan your entire family holiday itinerary around these alone – there’s truly something for everyone. Siam Paragon is where you’ll find an ocean world and museum, and plenty of places to get snacks. Or take the family on a boating trip along the city’s Chao Phraya River, stopping off at tourist sites along the way. For nature experiences in the city you can visit Lumpini Park and the city even has its own Madame Taussauds. There’s also the historic tourist site of Muangboran (The Ancient City), where you can learn about traditional Thai culture and feed the elephants.

Bangkok is one of the busiest tourist cities in the world, and it’s awash with all manner of chain hotels, independent hotels and eco-hotels. As any traveller will tell you, with the exception of décor and amenities, one hotel can be much like another when it comes to the actual experience of staying there. The advantage of choosing holiday rentals in Bangkok, rather, is that you’ll be able to select a place to stay that offers more variety of character and gives you a much more up-close experience of the local culture. These smaller establishments are often owned by local families, so home-cooked food and fascinating conversation is always on the menu. This will give you so much more insight into the city and the country’s lifestyle than you would get by staying in a large hotel. If you choose a self-catering holiday rental you’ll also have the luxury of exploring the famous food markets of Bangkok and experimenting with local produce to create meals in your own time, without being restricted to what is available on a set menu.
