Bangkok Travel Forum

Hi,
My husband & I will be travelling to Bangkok in December (first time) and were wondering if anyone had any feedback on the Centre Point Silom Hotel, especially the location. How far is it to the Temples, Lumphini park & Kao San Road? Is it worth staying there or do you have other recommendations?
Thanks so much!!

In my opinion, the location is excellent.

It is located very near both the BTS skytrain and the Sathorn Central express boat pier. This gives you east access to downtown and the riverside sights.

Plus, It's not so pounded by the touts that prey on tourists.

Thanks so much for your reply! K.

Just happened to be there yesterday. Since location seems to be your main consideration, you'll be pleased to know that location is about the best to be said about the CP. It is 3 stops by BTS from Lumpini Park, and you can take a water taxi to Wat Po, Wat Phra Kaew, and to a pier that will be a short taxi ride to Khao San. Don't know your hotel budget so it's hard to compare CP against other hotels, but this forum is filled with hotel recommendations and their prices. Please take a look at some of the earlier posts regarding hotels, and for the December prices visit the web sites of those that interest you. Note that December will be high-season, assuming that there is still such a thing these days.

Have a good visit to LOS.
