    If you want a more traditional Bangkok experience, I’d suggest staying in the Old Town (Rattanakosin). You’ll be near iconic places like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. This area is more laid-back and full of history, and the local markets and street food are amazing. It’s not as connected with public transport (no BTS or MRT nearby), but you can easily take a tuk-tuk or a Grab to get around. If you want to soak up the culture and don’t mind a bit of walking, this area is ideal!
