Cheap but good hotels in Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand

If you want to stay in Thailand really cheaply (and who doesn't, because it's fine here now, there's no serious political trouble any more), in a room with hot water shower, fridge, satellite TV and air-conditioning, here are a few decent little hotels for you, with room rates between 500 and 650 Baht per room per night at the time of writing - so really, really cheap! :-)

They're very basic, but are fine as long as you don't expect 5 star luxury:

Bangkok

Sukhumvit Soi 4 (200m down the road that Nana Plaza resides in):

Happy Inn, tel: +66 (0)22 526 508

Swan Inn 1, tel: +66 (0)22 529 923

Swan Inn 4, tel: +66 (0)22 510 931


Pattaya

Soi Buakow (500m from the Pattaya Tai Road end):

Utid Court, tel: +66 (0)38 428 221


2nd Road (opposite Tipp Plaza, near Mike Shopping Mall):

Ice Inn, tel: +66 (0)38 720 671


I have stayed in all these hotels, and they are especially good if you want to enjoy the fantastic night-life of both cities!! ;-)
