Where to stay in Bangkok this Songkran 2025: The best hotels
You are planning for Songkran in Bangkok, which is to say, you are preparing for three days of sanctioned chaos. From April 13 to 15, the city will not merely celebrate but dissolve into a state of euphoria, with water flying from buckets, from hoses, from the hands of strangers who, for these few days, become something more than strangers.
It is, therefore, not just a matter of where you stay, but how you position yourself within the celebration. You’ll want to be close enough to feel the pulse of it, to hear the first shrieks of delight as the morning battles begin, to return, soaked and sun-dazed, to a place that offers respite without removing you entirely from the thrill.
So, here are the best hotels that will place you at the centre of Songkran in Bangkok.
Top 5 hotels for Songkran 2025
Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit
Adress: Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, 2 Sukhumvit Soi 57, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
The Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit is where you stay when you want to be in the middle of everything without lifting a finger. Aside from the fact that it sits right in Thonglor, the city’s cool, late-night neighbourhood, the hotel also offers a special Songkran package for the ultimate experience.
Called the Splash & Stay package, it hands you everything on a silver tray, starting with a Songkran Essentials Kit. You’ll get a delicate Thai garland, a polished silver bowl for splashing water like you mean it, and a waterproof phone bag.
They’ve thought of the rest, too. A BTS day pass per person per day means you move through the city with no delays. In addition, a daily 1,000 baht credit lets you enjoy drinks and bites at the hotel’s restaurants, because at some point, you’ll want to sit somewhere plush with a cocktail in hand and watch the world go by.

Sitting right next to the BTS Chid Lom station, InterContinental Bangkok puts you exactly where you need to be. One step outside and you’re swept into the madness of Songkran.
Inside the InterContinental Bangkok, the world will be something else entirely. The service is sharp, the amenities indulgent, and everything about it whispers you deserve this. Songkran can be wild, but inside these walls, it’s all marble, soft linens, and effortless luxury.
Upstairs, the rooftop pool invites you to sip something cold while watching the city move beneath you. The spa will make you forget you spent the morning dodging buckets of ice water. In addition, the hotel’s six restaurants cover every craving, from elegant fine dining to meals that stretch into the night, because some things are too good to rush.
W Bangkok
Adress: W Bangkok, 106 N S Sathon Rd, Si Lom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500
W Bangkok doesn’t do quiet. It does bold, electric, and just the right amount of over-the-top. And for Songkran, it turns the volume all the way up.
Book a two-night stay between April 13 and 15, and you get the Songkran Splash Away experience. Yes, two days of exactly what you came for. They’ll start you off with two welcome drinks, a little something extra in your room, and breakfast for two each morning, because even party people need fuel.

But the real action is at WET Deck, where the Songkran Splash Away Pool Party takes over on APril 13 from 2pm to 9pm. It’s a scene: sun, water, cocktails, and DJs who know exactly how to keep things moving. DJ Groove headlines, backed by DJ Aberlux, DJ Nana, DJ Natsha, and DJ Daniel and Joe Cola.
And if you do decide to venture out, W Bangkok’s location in Sathorn makes it dangerously easy to explore Songkran hotspots. But honestly, with so much happening at the hotel, you might not even make it past the pool.

This year, the hotel is throwing its own version of the festival, the Splashing Songkran Pool Party, which is free for hotel guests. The name says poolside, but it’s the river that steals the view. There will be a barbecue station, à la carte dishes, drinks poured from a roaming bar, DJs spinning something bright and fast, and a water zone with floaties for those who take Songkran literally.
