Via Ad Lib Bangkok

Ad Lib Bangkok is a design-oriented boutique hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 1, just a short walk from the Ploen Chit BTS station, yet so quiet it feels like a private residence. The style is modern and gallery-like – with custom-commissioned Thai art, warm wood, and floor-to-ceiling windows – and features an emerald-green saltwater pool, a well-equipped gym, and one of the best hotel breakfasts in the area, served in its all-day dining restaurant. Rooms are larger than usual for boutique hotels, and the location is ideal: the tranquility of the embassy district is right outside, and restaurants Nana and Asok are just one stop away. A stylish stay at affordable prices.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
