Where to Stay in Ratchaprasong

Fine dining experiences and entertainment can be found in these malls or at the many world-class hotels dotted in the area, and there is something to delight everyone - from cinemas and bowling alleys to upmarket cocktail lounges.

Ratchaprasong is also home to several well-known shrines, most notably the famous Erawan Shrine, and the area's central location makes it an ideal base to reach nearby popular areas like Siam, Silom, Sathorn, Chidlom-Ploenchit and Sukhumvit Road quickly and conveniently.

For several years now the area in front of CentralWord, known as CentralWorld Square, has also been the venue for Bangkok's official New Year's countdown and other big outdoor events. Over the Festive Season, Ratchaprasong becomes a wonderland with twinkling lights and colourful decorations, but year-round it makes for a very popular area to stay for both business and leisure travellers.
