: : Rattanakosin
Island : :
Surrounded and formed by the Chao Phraya River and two klongs (canals)
Klong Ong Ang and Klong Bang Lamphu, Ko Rattanakosin (ko means island)
is the area where Bangkok's most famous temples and popular tourist
attractions as well as the National Museum and National Gallery
are located. It is here you will find Wat Phra Kaew, Grand Palace;
Wat Phra Chetuphon, Reclining Buddha; Wat Sutat, Giant Swing and
so on. Also located on Rattanakosin Island is the famous Khao San
Road. A popular tourist destination in its own right, Khao San Rd
is famous for its budget accommodation, inexpensive restaurants,
bars, souvenir and t-shirt shops that cater to students and travelers
on a tight budget who want to explore Bangkok's religious and cultural
history.
Whilst most lodging in the area is comprised of hostels and simple
rooms there are a few 2 and 3 star hotels that, although a touch
more expensive, offer more services and facilities and are still
excellent value for money. FYI, in order to remain objective, hotels
are listed in alphabetical order. We don't favor any hotel for any
reason.
