By Chip Chen and Reta Lee,
Ah Bangkok. From its mouth-watering cuisine to pampering massages, glamorous shopping and pulsating nightlife, there’s plenty to love in this electrifying northern neighbour of a city. Just 2.5 hours away by plane, the Thai capital offers the best of cosmopolitan living at oh-so-reasonable prices. It’s no wonder Bangkok remains a top holiday destination for Singaporeans.
Here’s yet another reason to consider a repeat visit this year-end (we mean, apart from the speedy E-Gate immigration clearance now open to Singaporeans) — the city is home to some of the best luxury hotels in the world, and they are yours to have at reasonable prices.
These are our picks of the best high-end hotels in Bangkok to party the night away, without breaking the bank.
(Psst, bear in mind that most hotels have strict overnight policies, so do be considerate and keep noise levels low. Also, be aware that you’ll be responsible for any damages or excessive cleaning required.)
