Package price from, per person sharing

Direct rail access is a major advantage in a city where traffic can shape the day. This Thailand holiday package places travellers at Phaya Thai, linking the airport, Bangkok’s BTS network and central shopping districts with minimal complication. Flights from South Africa, transfers, accommodation and selected meals can be combined, leaving more time for temples, museums, markets, dining and the city’s different neighbourhoods.

Property Overview

Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai is a 494-room high-rise hotel in the Phaya Thai district, integrated into the Unicorn mixed-use complex and directly connected to the BTS Skytrain. Two elevated swimming pools, a full spa, fitness facilities, an Executive Lounge and several dining venues give the property substantial leisure depth for a city hotel. Rooms occupy the upper levels with broad Bangkok views. The overall feel is polished and contemporary, with strong transport convenience at the centre of the experience.

How far is the nearest point of interest?

Victory Monument is around one kilometre from the hotel and can be reached in roughly 10–12 minutes on foot or one stop by BTS. It is one of the area’s most recognisable landmarks and also sits within a busy local district of food stalls, shops and transport links. For a more cultural visit, the Jim Thompson House Museum is also close enough for an easy outing. Direct BTS access makes both nearby and wider Bangkok sightseeing straightforward.

Distance from Airport

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is the main international arrival point for travellers coming from South Africa. The Airport Rail Link runs directly to Phaya Thai in around 30 minutes, with the hotel connected to the station complex, making rail particularly convenient. By road, the hotel advises allowing at least around 50 minutes depending on traffic. No onward domestic flight or additional transfer segment is required once guests reach central Bangkok.

Rooms

The hotel has 494 rooms and suites, beginning with 34-square-metre Superior categories and progressing to larger corner rooms and multi-room suites. Deluxe categories increase to around 46–50 square metres, while one- and two-bedroom suites add separate living and dining areas. Larger suites include Executive Lounge access and personalised lounge services. Two-bedroom configurations make the hotel particularly practical for families or small groups who want more space without leaving central Bangkok.

Food & Drink

Dining is spread across four main venues with distinct roles. The Market@5 handles Thai, Asian and European dishes in a large market-style setting, while Trattoria@22 serves Mediterranean cuisine beside the 22nd-floor pool. Sky Lounge at 38 adds cocktails and skyline views, and the Lobby Lounge covers coffee, pastries and lighter drinks. Twenty-four-hour room service is also available, giving the hotel enough variety for guests who choose to dine in rather than head out.

Experiences & Activities

The hotel’s greatest practical advantage is direct access to Phaya Thai BTS and the Airport Rail Link, making Bangkok’s shopping, dining and cultural districts easy to explore. Onsite, guests have two high-floor pools, a 24-hour fitness centre and an Executive Lounge for selected room categories. Families have a children’s pool and larger two-bedroom suites. Nearby attractions include Victory Monument, Pratunam and the Jim Thompson House, while the BTS opens up easy connections across the city.

SPA & Wellness

Bhu Mhai Spa provides the hotel’s main wellness experience, with private treatment rooms and programmes tailored around relaxation and recovery. Its design takes inspiration from nearby Phaya Thai Palace, giving the interiors a local reference without turning the spa into a themed attraction. A 24-hour fitness centre supports more active routines, while the two elevated pools provide additional space to unwind with city views. Wellness is therefore a meaningful part of the hotel rather than a minor supporting service.
