Accomodation

The most common queries my friends usually have for me would be which hotel to reside in for their trip. I admit it would not be easy to choose from over hundreds of hotels in Bangkok. However, it would be much easier if you can narrow down your considerations into several aspects.

Firstly, budget. If budget is not an issue, then the choices you have would seriously be unlimited. Bangkok have hotels ranging from 5 stars standard going at 3-400 SGD all the way to budget hostels which would only only cost you merely less than probably 10-15 SGD per night.

Given this obvious fact, some friends would always like to ask me for recommendations for hotels that are cheap and good. To be honest with you, its probably very difficult to strike a balance here as in most cases, what you pay is what you get. Alot of it depends on your definition of good in the previous statement. What does good means to you? For some people, they care alot about the aesthetics of the hotel, meaning the hotel and more importantly the room must make them feel comfortable. Some place lesser emphasis on this and just want a place to rest and recharge for the busy shopping schedules they have packed the next day.

Another important aspect to consider is the accessibility of the hotel. Some prefers that it be near a subway station so that they can leverage on that to avoid the nasty traffic in Bangkok, some prefers the location to be more serene and away from the hustle and bustle of the vibrant city life. After all, its a holiday trip meant to relax and rejuvenate. So this again depends on your preference.

Thus, what I am going to do is to list out the hotels that I actually stayed in before and include some of my opinions based on the several factors that I have listed above. I would also include some hotels that I have not stayed in before but have done research on because the hotels in a way or another appealed to me when I was planning for my own holiday.
