Service of mind
by Glorija about Sawasdee Bangkok Inn
Located on Koh San Road and quite nice rooms with cable tv, hot water and towel ofcourse. It is just that a toilet and specially shower is a little small but meanwhile shower there is an adventure itself since there is no bath or nothing. Just water sprinkeling around ... They have a safety box and 24 hours service.

Backpacker Accommodation

I'm coming over with my friends this September. I need help on cheap backpacker accommodations.
Appreciate all the help :-)

If you mean Bangkok then head for 1) Khao Sarn Road/Phra Arthit area on the river. Full of backpacker places. 2) Lots of cheap guesthouses in Soi Sribhumpen, opposite the Malaysia Hotel, which is in Soi Ngam Du Phli off Rama 4 Road.

Hello,
I have new brand to suggest you: this hotel is suitable for Backpacker same you and your friends. Name of hotel is Lub D which located Silom area, not far from Khaosan Road if you can go to nightlife. And the hotel is downtown, business center, shopping centers and nightlife Patpong, just a short walking distance away from Chong Non Si BTS Station.
