My opinion:

If you are looking for accommodation near Wat Mongkhon Bophit, you can see here a list of hotels near Wat Mongkhon Bophit

Right next to Wat Phra Si Sanphet, built in the early 20th century, it consists of one single wihaan in a very simple architectural style but on its front, the slopes of the roofs are beautifully decorated and it houses one of the largest bronze Buddhas the country.
On its right, there is a market with souvenir stalls and small places to eat and drink.
