If you'll be in town for business around that district, great choice you've got. But if you will be over the weekend, especially during the king's birthday, recommend you to stay near the real centre of the city.

If the money is not big matter for you, FS, GH or Intercon should be your great choice. If you don't want to spend to much for the hotel, try Holiday Inn Bangkok, Arnoma, Novotel Siam or Princess Patumwan. These hotel are located in the walking distance to the skytrain and the main shopping centre of Bangkok. Skytrain is the most convenient and reliable way of transportation in BKK. Don't have to bargain the price, and the most important concern is safe.

Please do not stay at Conrad during the weekend, so quiet, nothing to do in the walking distance.
