The best places to base yourself in Bangkok
The Chao Phraya riverside is Bangkok's grande-dame address — the Mandarin Oriental and the Peninsula face each other across the water, with hotel boats shuttling guests to the old city. Sukhumvit is the modern, walkable spine of restaurants and rooftop bars, while Silom blends business and night markets.

Arriving in Bangkok by private jet
Don Mueang (DMK) handles much of Bangkok's business-aviation traffic, with FBO facilities and private-terminal handling that keep arrivals quick. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the alternative for certain long-haul aircraft.
Elite Jet sources the aircraft for the mission and arranges the FBO handling and the transfer to the riverside or the city, so the trip is one coordinated arrangement rather than a series of handoffs.
