Can someone on this forum inform me where to book a hotel in Bangkok in a safe district (away from demonstration and safe for traveller) since the unrest last week in Bangkok city?
Looking forward to hear from you!
Reply to this I think u'd better stick to the city center area like Silom, Siam or Sukhumvit. They are business areas where businesses are going on as usual and closed to transportation like Skytrain and subway. Protests are limited in the parliament, government house and Rajdamnoen road, on the way to the old town. The situation is calm now, nothing to worry about.
Reply to this Hello Sacha 😊
I heard that despite the demonstrations travellers seem to be comming to no harm appart from some of the airports being shut down for a while and flights delayed a few weeks ago.

Reply to this Just spent 3 days in Silom last week during the beginning of the demonstrations and didn't even know they were happening until i saw it on CNN. The area's totally safe. If you're looking for a hostel, try the Lub D Bangkok, i've stayed a lot of places and it's probably the best hostel I've ever seen.
Reply to this i can also recommend this place: http://www.refillnow.co.th/ beats all other hostels ive ever stayed in.
Reply to this hi guys
according to me there is only one 5star hotels is safe if your not going out at night time
this why i prefer to stay in islands
Reply to this Are you guys kidding cutemia? Riots in Bangkok?
I'm living here, travel in different bits of the city, and head out nearly every night. Occasionally I happen upon a group of demonstrators, standing around listing to some guy with a megaphone, but riots? This ain't Gaza. The protests you see on CNN are the occasional violent flare ups at parliament house. The rest of the city is perfectly safe -- or as safe as its always been without demonstrations.
Head to Koh San Road or Silom or Sukhumvit for any hotel -- they're all safe, and getting cheaper because numbers are dropping.
Reply to this Thanks! I found a nice and affordable hotel in Sukhumvit. Any floks travelling north to Chang Mai these days and looking for an european travelling dude to join in? Indeed the locals even don't know there was a demonstration, saw a very small part of it. Seems to be no big hasle here.
