Booking tips for Bangkok
Bangkok hotel rates are remarkably stable year-round — book 2-3 weeks ahead and you'll get competitive prices. Avoid Songkran (mid-April), Loy Krathong (November) for crowds, not rates. Direct hotel websites for Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton properties often run "stay 3 pay 2" promotions targeting Indian travellers. Agoda is consistently price-competitive in Southeast Asia and has the deepest Bangkok inventory.
