How to Stay in Bangkok Hotels on Points
Five-star for less
Bangkok is one of the best places anywhere to live large on points, because its top hotels, riverside palaces and sky-high rooftop suites, sit at lower categories and cash rates than comparable luxury in the West. That means even a single welcome bonus can fund several nights of genuine five-star comfort in the city.
The cards and transfer partners to use
Marriott has a deep Bangkok lineup, from the JW Marriott to the St Regis, Hilton runs the Conrad and Waldorf Astoria, and Hyatt the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt Erawan. Marriott is served by Amex, Chase, and Bilt, Hilton by Amex or Bilt, and Hyatt by Chase or Bilt. A Chase or Bilt card plus an Amex covers them all. See which cards transfer to hotels.
Stretch a welcome bonus far
Because Bangkok luxury prices are low, a single card welcome bonus goes a long way here, covering multiple five-star nights rather than one. A Marriott Bonvoy Boundless or Hilton Honors free night is a bonus on top. Compare properties on rooms.aero. See best cities for hotel points.
Stop guessing at point values. Look up the real award price and live availability for a specific trip before you transfer.
