We-Train Guest House: Cheap and near the Airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • The We Train Hostel is an increadibly cheap hostel located right near the BKK airport. The rooms are dorm style (men and women seperated). The hostel is five floors and there are many more Thai people than westerners here (but there are still westerners). The hostel is also a shelter for battered women, interesting. Everyone is nice and helpful here. They have a small internet area and restaurant. Breakfast is really cheap too and you can get a western or Thai breakfast. There are a lot of Thai fruit here too!!

    If I recall correctly a bed was under 200 Baht (I think it was more like 165 Baht!!) and breakfast was really cheap too.

    Unique Qualities: see above

    but there are always some consiquences when you only have to pay 165 Baht for a bed.

    The beds are rock hard (like in many cheap inns in Thailand - the plastioc bed w/ sheets

    Its hot!

    And its loud - frogs and crickets are really loud and there is a school nearby so you hear the national anthem and moprning anouncements in the morning.

    New Merry V Guest House: Really cheap and good guesthouse near KSR
  • Tip Rating:
  • The New Merry V Guest House is located a three minute walk from Khao San Road. There is a good restaurant in the hotes, as well as more quite rooms. Many backpackers stay at New Merry V. This hotel is nicer and more quite than the guest houses on KSR. It is also very safe, and is completely locked up from 24:00 to 4:00 (unless you need to go to the airport or something). You can have an interesting view of the city from the roof. The rates are really good too! You can get all types of rooms, from shared bathroom fan rooms to hot water air con rooms. Prices range from 200-650 Baht per ROOM (not per person).

     Very interesting local custom for placing the 112 coins. I am sure the money will go to good causes as Buddhism is Thailand's main religion.
