Chinatown/Pahurat General

The few budget hotels in this area are either short-term places best avoided or particularly grimy and poor value.

Aside from theses a range of mid-range guesthouses off Chakraphet Road mainly aimed at South Asians are also on offer. Up around Maitrichit Road there are a lot of cheap Chinese hotels, but these are virtualy all short-term places and best avoided.

A couple of cheap hotels lie within walking distance of Hualamphong that may be useful if you arrive late or are leaving early, but none of them are very good.

    T: (02) 214 4016;

    This old-style Chinese hotel must have been gorgeous before World War 2, but the charm has faded and the rooms are now more grime than grand. Rooms are very big, but it gets a fair bit of short-term ... Read the full review of Sri Hualamphong Hotel.
