In such guesthouses, my wife and I very rarely stop, but Since I was alone this time, I decided to try. Good for me almost nothing except a bed. I’m already used to heat enough fan, shared toilet and shower no problem at all, I have my own Internet. So I walked a bit along Khaosan Road in Bangkok and decided this time to spend the night superbudzhetno. By the way speaking, the first place was according to reviews of Grenn House on the Rambuttri, but it cost 325 baht and was not enough trash, so after half an hour I I found it even easier and almost free – for 170 baht

To the question of how much housing in the capital of Thailand and how much money you need to live. If you set a goal, you can live almost for free. I do not exclude that it can be even cheaper find if needed And not only in Bangkok, but also in the resorts. I agree, an amateur, but everyone chooses the degree of the necessary comfort, depending on their life priorities and circumstances. Before that, I have stayed many times in the budget. Guest houses (for 300-500 baht) and say that many of them were quite lovely and authentic where it was nice to be. Just need them It was to seek out the reviews, so as not to get just on the trash. In general, I would advise budget travelers through Couchsurfing stopped, conditions will be better, and interesting You can talk.
In short, I shot a room with Merry for as much as 170 baht. But there is rooms and more with private shower and even with air conditioning, but the prices they are already the same as everywhere in the neighboring guest houses – around 500-600 baht and up. And given that the situation here is spartan everywhere and all rooms have windows in the corridor, then IMHO is not a very good option it is better to search for something else, I gave above the link, for 500-800 baht Great rooms with everything you need.
Typical prices for cheap guesthouses
If you need something more comfortable with your personal bathroom and air conditioned, I recommend Rajata Hotel, just close to Khao San Road. You can also search for something nearby, through a search engine hotels in bangkok.
Interior
A bit funny after a good hotel to stay here, but interesting experience. Try it! Considering that I only needed One night, and in the room I just came to sleep, quite to myself fine. The main thing that was clean everywhere, both in the room and in soul, and there was no living creatures. Know when i watched some issues of “Eagle and tails”, where there, oh my God, accounted for one of the participants to stay in cheap hotels or, oh, horror, the hostel, it seems to me, they either zazhralis, or bend the stick, for the show. From one night no one will die, on the contrary, it is interesting even.
So, I immediately remembered the movie “The Beach”, or rather even the book, which I recently read. There the protagonist is just stayed on Khao San in something like that, only more dirty and old Well, in those days, probably, all cheap hotels were so, and now everywhere is less tolerable, even in the budget. BUT Hong Kong is also remembered with its miniature budget hotels, only in price at a price 10 times higher

In general, if you want to leave the comfort zone (of course, when provided that you are not an avid backpacker who every day in such lives and it has become the norm) and feel the spirit of Asia, about which is sometimes written and spoken, you can try this guest house stay at least a day.
The only thing that bothered, so it is not too friendly hosts— In Thailand, you pay a lot of attention to this, because you get used to smiles very quickly. And who’s heard that around makes the neighbors, the walls are very thin, and the ceiling is big mesh windows. But this is not music, and not drunk hubbub, and on that thank. Dorm
And they squeezed Wifi, they wanted as much as 60 baht in a day — misers! True, a little later, after my stay there, wifi seems to be free done. True, in these rooms for 170 baht there are no outlets, Poet will have to be charged at the bottom of the cafe.
At the bottom of the guesthouse cafe, only there are sockets and Wifi, and you can to work
