If you simply adore food and shopping when you are in Bangkok, then you may wish to base yourself in the Pratunam area (where the well-known Platinum Fashion Mall, Big C, Central World Mall and other shopping areas are located, along with night markets and some pretty good food):
- If your budget allows and/or you want to experience a more luxurious hotel experience, spending some money for a little luxury is well worth it for a 4-5 star hotel within the Pratunam area. You just have to find one that is within your budget and style (newly refurbished / new vs old).
- If you want to save some money for more shopping and food, there are more economical accommodations available as well.

Online prices average S$70-80++ per night, while hotel website rates average around THB 1900 - 2450 (around S$75 - 100).
The Posh Phayathai is within walking distance of the Jim Thompson House, Platinum Fashion Mall and Pantip Plaza. It is within a 20-minute stroll of Siam BTS Station, which allows easy access in and around Bangkok. The most surprising thing about Posh Phayathai is that it is a hostel rather than a hotel; a luxury hostel. So it comes with dorm rooms for those who are really looking for something on a backpacker's budget. For those of you who prefer your privacy, there are private rooms that will cater to you. If you are looking for a vibrant social experience to enhance your shopping vacation, this hostel makes a good option, especially with its spacious rooftop terrace and gorgeous rooms.

If your main purpose is to shop when you are in Bangkok, than Novotel Platinum Pratunam Hotel is the place to stay: above the new wing of Platinum Fashion Mall and right next to the old wing of Platinum Fashion Mall. Besides Platinum Fashion Mall, it's also within a 5 minute walk to Pantip (selling computer-related stuff), Pratunum Market (open-air market), Central World (modern shopping centre with lots of eateries), Big C (a hypermarket), the Erawan Shrine (the four-faced Buddha) and Siam Paragon (shopping center with IMAX). Surrounding the hotel are plenty of roadside food stalls and stalls selling everything from clothes to accessories to toys.
Online prices average S$150-180++ per night, while the hotel website rates average around S$160 - 250++ per night.
Located within the renowned Pratunam area, Centara Watergate Pavillion Hotel Bangkok is a 4 star hotel which offers 281 rooms and suites that are decorated with a minimalistic modern flair:. The use of primary colors like red (for in-room chair cushions and sofas in the lobby) and (shades of) blue (for the in-room décor) against white (walls) makes it a visual treat for the eyes; with “lines” being a theme throughout the hotel.
