Picolo recommends · Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand
The Sukhothai Bangkok
Brick stupas rise from still water a few steps from the Sathorn traffic, and the office towers suddenly feel far away.
Walk in from the road and the noise drops away. Low buildings surround shallow pools and gardens where brick stupas stand, and the business district outside the walls seems to belong to another city.
The Sukhothai is among the calmest places to stay in Bangkok. Lumpini Park is close by, the food has a strong reputation, and the spa is a known address for traditional Thai massage.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Sukhothai Bangkok
We chose it for its stillness. In a city this loud, a hotel built around water and gardens is a real luxury, and the food and spa make it easy to spend an afternoon without leaving.
The rooms are classic in style and will not impress anyone looking for the latest design. The nearest station takes a few minutes to reach on foot, and in the heat a taxi is often the easier choice.
