Planning a trip to Thailand and searching for the best Airbnbs in Bangkok? Well, you’ve come to the right place, because oh man, I love Bangkok. Its streets are hectic, noisy, and steamy, and despite the pace, the heat, and the noise…. trust me. This place will win you over, and there’s no better way to explore than from one of these incredible Airbnb Bangkok offerings!
The capital of Thailand is home to over 8 million people and has been a bustling city for around 600 years. The sights and smells of Bangkok can be confronting, but it’s all part of the unique experience of visiting the city.
Rivers and canals flow past 5-star hotels and run-down huts of huge Thai families. Air-conditioned mega malls pepper the city, providing all the modern comforts of the Western world. Street markets overflow with fresh fruit, dirt cheap brand knockoffs, penis-shaped soaps, and key rings, and locals are always ready to barter with tourists.
Unlike its southern island counterparts, Bangkok doesn’t have the luxury of a coastal sea breeze to cool it down. It’s hot and humid all day and night, and the heat only adds to its intensity and insanity. It’s also super affordable to visit this brilliant city and live it up in style.
Bangkokers want to feed you, clothe you, make you laugh, and practice their English with you. Visiting Bangkok is an overwhelming sensory experience, and a visit to the capital of the Kingdom of Thailand will never disappoint.
Enough of me raving about the City of Bangkok. Without further ado, I’ve compiled the ultimate list of the 18 best Bangkok Airbnbs. From traditional Thai-style stays to ultra-modern condos and apartments – it’s all there for the taking.

Guest review: “In this day and age you won’t exactly get what was advertised to you in most cases. This is not the case with this apartment. I have never been in a better Airbnb apartment. Very stylish and modern. Everything in it seems to be brand new and super clean and that goes for the whole building by the way. Great location too. A bit far to walk to the SkyTrain or MRT, but not to worry, because there is a free shuttle available. Absolutely fantastic experience. Max is a very professional host and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this place and will be back for sure!” – Peter

It is located very centrally but tucked away from the busy streets so very quiet communication with Joop was very easy. She responded always promptly and ensured we did not have any problem.

Guest review: “My partner and I enjoyed staying at Pariya’s apartment during a long weekend in Bangkok. The place is kept much like a hotel with tasty breakfasts supplied to your room and a live-in helper who will clean daily for you. The apartment is a pleasant oasis of calm set in the middle of the bustling city and very nice to come back to after a long day out. We mainly travelled around the city using Grab and we found all the main attractions to be within a half hour drive which was ideal. Pariya was also very helpful arranging airport transfers for us.

Final Thoughts on the Best Airbnb in Bangkok
Bangkok really is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, and it’s one of the best places to Airbnb in Thailand. And while it may seem a bit chaotic, loud, and hectic at first – I know it’s a destination that’ll win you over! I’ve actually thought about buying a condo in Bangkok (as they’re much cheaper than in the US) and I would love to have a home base in Thailand in the future!
While there are dozens of amazing hotels and hostels to stay in Bangkok, I’ve become a huge fan of booking Airbnbs while traveling, and I think Bangkok would be a great place to do so and get a more local experience! Safe travels, though, and I’m sure you’ll have an awesome visit to the Big Mango!
Oh, and be sure to try a ham & cheese toastie from 711 for me! Random, I know – but you’ll thank me later!
