Bangkok's boutique hotels offers guests comfortable rooms and personal friendly service.
Though these are traditionally smaller properties they offer budget savvy travelers affordable room rates in central Bangkok.
And one of the best areas to find boutique hotels is in Bangkok's popular commercial business district called Silom.
Silom is located in central Bangkok so you will be near lots of businesses and hotels catering to tourists from all over the world.
As an important part of the city there are 2 train systems in Silom.
So you will be in easy reach to other commercial districts and points of interest in Bangkok.
Another reason why Silom is such a popular location is because of Patpong red light district.
Not only are the go go bars there the major attraction but the lively and colorful night market as well.
Since Silom district is so commercialized and tourist friendly it's no surprise at all that it's considered a pricey neighborhood by Thai standards.
As a result hotels in Silom do generally cost more, particularly during the high season.
One of the most popular boutique hotels in Silom is called Siam Heritage Boutique Suites.
It's a very well maintained hotel property that has deep roots in Silom with an art gallery near the lobby.
And even though it's just a few minutes away from Patpong's go go bars and night market the hotel still manages to offer a piece of an oasis in Silom.
Now if you want to stay a little bit further away from the sight of flashing neon lights then you might consider staying at Silom Serene Boutique Hotel.
Located just 5 minutes walk to the doorsteps of Patpong red light district, Silom Serene is tucked away quietly between office buildings and local shops.
Rooms here are quite big and have been renovated since it is an older hotel.
There's a small swimming pool and I do mean small with only a few sun chairs to spare, yet it's still a nice respite from Bangkok's hot and hazy afternoons.
There are many more boutique hotels in the area and even though Silom is considered the pricey neighborhood especially for hotels you can still find decent room rates.
To find discounted prices for any hotel in Silom think local.
Find a hotel reservation agency based in Thailand with an office preferably in Bangkok.
These agencies act as wholesalers and are able to pass on extra savings to you as well as locate special rates and deals for hotels that are not published widely.
Finally Bangkok's hotel rates flucuate by season with cheaper rates offered from late March to early October.
Even though the weather during those months are hot and wet, Bangkok is a great city to explore all year round.
And saving extra cash while staying at a comfortable boutique hotel in Silom is not a bad trade off at all.
