Bang Khen is genuine northern Bangkok, not a tourist strip, and its main draw is logistics. The BTS Green line now runs all the way out to Wat Phra Si Mahathat and Royal Thai Air Force stations, so you can ride straight into Siam or Asok without changing lines. Room rates here ar

Per-hotel detail, price comparison and FAQ
Right by the Bang Khen circle, about 600 m on foot to Wat Phra Si Mahathat BTS. Rooms are newish with comfortable beds, and there is a free Don Mueang Airport shuttle. Guest scores are very high, with many noting four-star quality at a three-star price, so it works for both a layover and a longer stay.
Part of the B2 chain known for clean rooms and comfy beds at a sensible rate. It sits on the Bang Khen side near Rajabhat Phranakhon and Wat Phra Si Mahathat, with access to both the Pink and Green lines, and Don Mueang is a short taxi away. A solid pick for one night before a flight or a couple of nights' stay.
A small hotel in Phahonyothin Soi 48 around the Anusawari–Bang Khen area. Rooms come with a private balcony, fridge and smart TV, there is free parking, and a 7-Eleven is a short walk away. Reviews praise the value and the quiet, and Don Mueang is an easy drive, making it good for self-drivers or anyone counting baht.
A serviced apartment in Phahonyothin Soi 59 in the Bang Khen area, near the far-north Green line. Rooms are apartment-style with daily housekeeping, suiting several nights or business around Krirk and Sripatum universities. Starting rates are low; the trade-off is the out-of-centre location and a building that is not brand new.
A large hotel on the Chaeng Watthana–north side with an indoor pool, a 24-hour gym, a spa, restaurants and big convention space. Wat Phra Si Mahathat and Don Mueang are both a few minutes' drive away. It suits conference guests, government business around the Government Complex, or anyone wanting more facilities than a budget property offers.
