I never find it hard choosing flights, but hotels are very, very important to me and takes a lot of time. I surf on tripadvisor.com, talk to friends, looks at the pi.jpgctures again and again and again before I decide. Are you like me?

If youare going to Bangkok, I can make your life a bit easer if you want a cheap hotel in the city. These are three of my favourites:

Sawasdee Bangkok Inn (3*):
Sawasdee Bangkok Inn is located on crowded Khao San Road. It is very popular among backpackers because it is cheap, clean and tidy. Small rooms with TV and AC.
Price: R139

Mandarin (3*):
Beloved hotel in Chinatown. Perfect if you want to live near the river. Popular hotel, everyone from backpackers to businessmen live here. Nice rooms with TV, AC and hair dryer.
Price: R252 

PJ Watergate (3*)
You wanna shop till you drop? Okay, then Pratunam is the perfect place for you. Close to Pratunam Market, you’ll find PJ Watergate. It’s a small hotel with nice staff and spotless rooms. All rooms have AC, TV and it’s own safe.
Price: R269   

All prices are based on fares in October, for one night, for double room.
