부동산 — Column Tower
Column Tower is a functional 3-star hotel on Sukhumvit Road, a 10-minute walk from Phrom Phong BTS station, a minivan lobby with check-in counters, a narrow cafe, and an outdoor pool on the roof. The USP is location and price: you get a clean room with air-con and a safe in a central Bangkok district full of Japanese restaurants and mid-range malls. Good for budget-conscious travellers who spend their days out and just need a base near the Skytrain.
Bangkok 연대기
Bangkok began in the late 18th century when King Rama I moved the capital across the river to Rattanakosin Island, building the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew. The city expanded along canals in the 19th century under King Mongkut and Chulalongkorn, who introduced Western infrastructure like railways and electric trams. The 20th-century boom saw canals paved into roads, skyscrapers rise in Sukhumvit and Silom, and the BTS Skytrain open in 1999. Today Bangkok is a sprawling megacity of 11 million, its energy split between gold-spired temples and glass shopping malls.

City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Bangkok
- The BTS Skytrain green line extension to Khu Khot is running full service; expect crowded carriages during morning and evening peaks.
- The MRT Orange Line construction continues under Ratchadaphisek Road, causing traffic delays between Rama IX and Thailand Cultural Centre.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Column Tower, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 6 to 10 facing away from Ratchadapisek Road (the back side of the building). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the building's structural core, which often has better soundproofing in a 3-star build. The rear rooms overlook the hotel's small internal courtyard and the neighbouring Soi Ratchadapisek 20 alley.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 through 3 — they sit directly above the lobby, restaurant, and possibly the hotel's one bar, meaning you'll get kitchen clatter, cigarette smoke drift, and general foot traffic. Also avoid any room ending in '01' or '02' as these are typically corner rooms facing the main road and the lift shaft respectively.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear (ask for 'garden view' or 'city view north') overlook a small residential neighbourhood with low-rise shophouses and green canopy — sparse but genuine local Bangkok. Front-facing rooms give a straight view of Ratchadapisek's six lanes, elevated BTS track, and the Dynasty Grande condominium tower, which is a bland urban view.
Quietest floors
Floors 6 to 12 are the quietest. The lifts service all floors, but the mid-range floors tend to have less through-traffic from staff and deliveries. Above floor 12, the building profile narrows, meaning rooms become closer to the roof's mechanical equipment (AC units, water pumps).
🔊 Noise notes
Ratchadapisek is a main north-south road with heavy traffic from 6am to midnight, including trucks and tuk-tuks. The hotel is close to the Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station (exit 1), which means street vendors set up near the entrance from 4pm, adding chatter and cooking smells. The hotel's own bar (off the lobby) occasionally has live acoustic music until 10pm — ask for a room on floor 5 or higher to avoid the bass bleed.
Insider tips
1) For a quieter stay, call the hotel directly after booking and request room 607 or 708 — these are rear-facing double rooms that staff often reserve for regulars. 2) The hotel has limited off-street parking (about 20 bays), so if you're driving, ask for a parking spot at check-in; otherwise you'll need to use a paid lot on Soi Ratchadapisek 18, which costs 40 baht per hour.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

돈 & 통화
Get a travel card →Thai Baht, THB
Use local banks or dedicated exchange booths in shopping malls; avoid airport counters and tourist-area exchanges which charge 3-5% worse rates. ATMs are ubiquitous and offer competitive rates.
Credit/debit cards accepted in most shops and restaurants; contactless and mobile payments (PromptPay, Apple Pay) widely used but cash still needed for street vendors and small stalls.
Not customary in Thailand; 10% service charge often added to restaurant bills already. Small change rounding-up at casual eateries is appreciated but not expected.
식사, 쇼핑 & 여행에 대한 예산
Cheap car hire →Buy Rabbit Card (rechargeable transit card, 50 THB deposit) to save 5-10% on BTS/MRT fares versus single tickets. Eat where locals eat—soi food stalls and market canteens are 50-70% cheaper than tourist restaurant zones. Visit temples, markets, and riverside walks free; paid attractions cluster around tourist areas you can avoid.

Bangkok 주요 관광지
💡 Come after 7pm when it comes alive. Avoid the overpriced smoothie stands on the main strip; walk one block to Soi Rambuttri for the same quality at half the price.
💡 Rent a paddleboat on the lake for 40 baht per 30 minutes. The lizards are harmless but keep kids away — they can grow over 2 metres long.
💡 Arrive by 9am to avoid the midday crush. Bring cash — most stalls don't take cards. Section 2 has the best cheap eats under 50 baht.
💡 The massage school is in the southern zone; no appointment needed, just queue. Entry is 300 baht, but the massage is a separate cost.
💡 Go at 8.30am when gates open to dodge the tour groups and heat. Dress covering shoulders and knees or you'll be refused entry — rental sarongs are available near the entrance.
