Ratchaprasong District

Highlighting the Cultural and Luxurious Lifestyle of Bangkok‘s Best Offerings

Ratchaprasong
(1)

A place of fetid canals and monsoonal rains, Ratchaprasong in Bangkok managed to get the top spot as the most visited city in the world in 2013.

Therefore, the drawbacks of visiting Bangkok have been highly overshadowed by what it has to offer.

Although the glittering temples and spicy cuisine are a major force that draws tourists, another factor to consider is shopping.

According to the Thai-Chinese Tourism Alliance, Chinese tourists in Bangkok cough up more than a thousand dollars each, most of which is spent in shopping while staying in the city.

LOCATION

Situated in the world’s most famous tourist hub, the Ratchaprasong District in the city of Bangkok boasts fifty years of history in its roughly one square mile of land area.

Stretching from Siam to The Emporium, this district contains the best offerings for luxury living in Bangkok, from five-star hotels and fine dining restaurants to glorious shrines and shopping centers.

Connected through the Skytrain from the areas of Silom and Sukhumvit Road, anyone would find it easily accessible

Visiting Ratchaprasong would be best when the weather is cool and dry. This happens between the months of November and February, a time when you can avoid the sweltering heat at the start of the summer months and the humidity of the rainy season.

Although you are not going to be exposed to much of the outdoors while visiting Ratchaprasong, having to know that cool, crisp climate and clear skies could add to a more enjoyable experience.

TRANSPORTATION

If your accommodations are outside the district of Ratchaprasong, you can use taxis or hop into the Skytrain to reach the shopping centers.

Ask the taxi driver to drop you off at the Erawa Shrine, or if you choose the Skytrain, exit at the Chidlom or Rajadamri BTS Stations.

However, if you are staying within the district, you can walk to reach the different malls from your hotel. Just avoid people offering “last day sales” or drivers who do not use meters.
