I tend to gravitate towards smaller, lesser known, yet quaint and interesting boutique hotels - as opposed to the massive, tourist-ridden buildings in the more commercial parts of the city.

I found my favorite little place, really in an amazing area - right on Arunamarin Rd, and off of the Chaophraya river - it's called the Ibrik Resort, and I've learned that they have a second location. With only three rooms, you have to book ahead, but it's so worth it.

If anyone knows of other Boutique Hotels, please post them
