Hotels near Wat Pho

The area around Wat Pho is very convenient to a number of other temples that are popular on the sight seeing circuit. The Grand Palace is also very close, making this area an ideal launching pad for a day or two of Bangkok’s must see destinations.

Being close to the famous Khaosan Road, there are a large number of cheap and very cheap hotels, of varying quality. You can stay overnight in this area for as little as USD14 a night, but don’t forget that old adage that you get what you pay for.  Some of these places are definately aimed at backpackers and the adventurous. Not much here for the “flashpacker” crowd, although one or two may fit the bill.

With public transportation being so cheap in Thailand, I personally wouldn’t stay in the area if all I wanted to do was see Wat Pho, The Grand Temple and other nearby attractions. A taxi from more popular areas of Bangkok won’t cost you very much at all.

One piece of advice though. The Tuk Tuk drivers in this area are more, …”aggresive” in their pursuit of the Baht, and are less reliable than tuk tuk drivers in other parts of Bangkok. Unless you really know what you are doing, I would save the Tuk Tuk ride for when you are in another part of the city. Take a taxi to and from this area, it will save you more than just time and sweat.
