Finding Budget Friendly Accommodation in Thailand

Thailand is considered to be one of Southeast Asia's most popular tourist destinations. This bustling country can rival its neighbours in beautiful landscapes, temples, cuisine, and hospitality. It is a nation that is surrounded by Cambodia, Laos, and Burma. If you are planning to travel there on a budget, here are some tips on how to get wallet-friendly accommodation.

Instead of setting up your lairs in a Thai bed and breakfast, seek out other forms of lodging. Inns are considered an exclusive novelty, thus the heavier price tag. Note that guesthouses or hostels are often used interchangeably because there is little difference in the rates. While they have dormitory style sleeping arrangements, you may be pleasantly surprised to find that they often include mini-bars and cable television in the rooms. These places are also able to provide secure lockers and Internet access.

If you are planning to stay beyond a week, try renting a cottage. Bungalows in this country offer luxurious amenities like hot tubs, off-street parking, swimming pools, and all the necessities for living in apartment. This type of accommodation will usually cost you anywhere from £104 to £557 per week on average.

Bungalow living also makes an enticing option when you are travelling with a group. Where hotels can charge extra for an additional person, you can split the apartment rent equally between all of the occupants.

However, if you are travelling with the family or that significant other, you need not shy away from making reservations at posh hotels. In this Southeast Asian nation, it is possible to get even a 4-star room for less than £34 a night.
