I decided to stay at the “Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square,” because of its convenient transportation and convenient location for shopping. I heard that the traffic jams in Bangkok are severe, so I was looking for a place where I could move around without having to take a taxi. The hotel is connected with Siam Station, which makes it easy to get to the airport. Also, department stores such as Siam Paragon are within walking distance.

Mini bar and cafe
There were two bottles of water, electric kettle, glasses, cups, spoons, instant coffee, tea bags and sugar prepared. There were also snacks and chocolate. You can get two bottles of water per day. However, since the water in Bangkok is not clean, it may be better to purchase extra water on your own for brushing your teeth.
There was also beer and juice in the fridge. However, they are a little overpriced, so it is best to buy drinks at the convenience store.

Facilities in the hotel
There was an outdoor pool on the fourth floor where children were playing happily. It is not a big hotel because it is in the city, but the pool was big enough for adults to swim in as well. It was clean and well maintained. The pool was surrounded by the building, and the outside scenery was hidden by plants, so it was a private space.
It was very hot during the day, so many people were laying under the parasols. You can order drinks at the restaurant and ask the staff to bring it out to the pool for you.
A gym on the fourth floor.
There was also a spa on the fourth floor. You can get a traditional Thai massage here.
A kid’s playroom on the first floor.

There were many young people and foreigners on the streets. Chulalongkorn University is nearby, so there seemed to be many students going to this school. It was a shopping area, so the roads were not too crowded, but there were many tuk-tuks running while honking their horns.

Access
Take the Airport Rail Link from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, transfer to BTS at Phaya Thai Station and get off at Siam Station. It usually takes about less than an hour to the hotel. It is about a 5 minute walk from the station. You can also go through the shopping center to get to the hotel.
The hotel was right near BTS Siam Station which was very convenient. However, you will need to walk outside instead of indoors. The station is very crowded, so it may take some time to get out. There were also many shopping malls within walking distance such as Siam Baragon, Central World and MBK.

Summary
I was looking for a hotel with easy transportation, but it was my first time in Bangkok and I had trouble figuring out how to transfer trains. I couldn’t sit down in the train when it was crowded, so I had trouble moving around with my luggage. I think that it is more convenient to take a taxi even though it may take longer than the train. On the other hand, when it comes to shopping and dining, the hotel was in a perfect location. It also seemed like a safe neighborhood. There were many students, probably because there was a university nearby, and it was a city with a creative and bright atmosphere. I enjoyed the liveliness of Bangkok.
