Best Western Chatuchak
Staying at Best Western Chatuchak was one of those unexpected gems that truly elevated my Bangkok trip. I picked the hotel mainly for its unbeatable location—just a 10-minute walk from the metro station—and it turned out to be the perfect base for exploring the city. Within walking distance, you’ve got three great parks, Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal (the ideal spot for solo travelers heading to Ayutthaya), the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market, DD Mall (a cool vintage shopping spot), and even a 7-Eleven right across the street. On day one, I grabbed a sandwich from the 7-Eleven early in the morning, walked to the train station, and caught a stunning sunrise along the way—though I later noticed my room’s view is partially blocked. But honestly? That didn’t ruin anything. The train ride to Ayutthaya was smooth, comfortable, and surprisingly cool—perfect for snacking on the go. I spent the afternoon wandering through ancient temples and backstreets, then returned just as the sun began to set. I opened the curtains and was greeted by an absolutely breathtaking sunset—so vivid, so peaceful. That evening, I followed local vibes and headed to DD Mall. While I’m not usually into vintage stores, the clothing shops on floors three and four had some unique finds, and the rooftop Italian restaurant served up a surprisingly delicious meal. Bonus: the metro entrance looks totally different at night—cooler, more atmospheric, and perfectly aligned with the path to DD Mall. On my third day, I started with a lazy morning in one of the nearby parks—super chill and relaxing—then made my way to the Chatuchak morning market. It’s packed with everything from street food to handmade crafts, and it’s definitely worth a visit. Overall, this hotel delivered far beyond expectations. Great location, solid vibe, and excellent value for money. Perfect for solo travelers or anyone looking to explore Bangkok without rushing.
