RJNS decision

Worth it?

Go for the working-market rhythm, not souvenirs. It is especially useful as an early-morning or late-night stop when your day already includes the river or Old Town.

Stay around this side of Bangkok

If more of your shortlist points here, compare Chinatown / Old Town as a base.

Pak Khlong Talat is one signal, not a reason by itself to choose a hotel. It sits in Flower Market, and RJNS currently gives Chinatown / Old Town the strongest stay fit for this stop. If more of your saved places cluster on this side of Bangkok, the area becomes more useful as a base.

Best when most of your saved places are around Yaowarat, Song Wat, Pak Khlong Talat, Nang Loeng and the river-side Old Town.
