Accommodations

Accommodation Thailand

Accommodations In Thailand differ than Europe or other parts of the world.  As a budget traveler, you will mostly be staying in guesthouses, budget hotels, and whenever near water – bungalows. Hostels are not really a very popular option despite a few in Bangkok.

Most Thailand accommodations range in quality and level of insects that live inside. You can pay more for amenities such as a flushing toilet, but what fun is that? Smart travelers know that half the fun is trying to figure out a local toilet!

Whatever your choice for place to stay is, always keep in mind that you will most likely be spending as little time there as possible. You didn’t travel thousands of miles to sit in a tiny room anyway! Pick accommodations in Thailand that are good enough to store your things safely, shower, and sleep – that is pretty all that you will be doing there.

Your number one concern should be location. Find a place that is convenient for seeing things, walking everywhere, and finding a Singah!

Booking hotels in Bangkok

Thailand accommodation is cheap, expect to pay from $3 – $15 a night depending on your level of luxury.  The average budget traveler can easily get by for US $7 a night or less. Air conditioned rooms are NOT WORTH the additional costs.  The AC can even make you sick because of the extreme temperature difference between indoors and outside your accommodations.

You will pay more to stay in the islands.  It is not unusual for complete strangers (no matter the sex) to partner up to split costs on accommodations, especially in expensive areas near the sea.
