The room rates in all Bangkok’s hotels are heavily influenced by the seasons. The high season is typically between November through March, where the weather in Thailand is cooler, much cooler in North Thailand, less humid with less rainfall. The low season is between April which is the hottest month, through October which has the most rainfall.

If you plan to book your stay in particular hotels in Bangkok during holidays such as Christmas and New Years you might have a compulsory dinner charge tacked on top of your room rate. So make sure you check your booking details.

Most people ask me which season I prefer to go visit Bangkok for vacation. My honest answer is any season is fine. If I had to choose I would say low season. During the low season Bangkok’s hotel room rates can get reduced by 20%. In most extreme cases room rates in Bangkok can get slashed as much as 40%.

The next question I get asked is do I recommend staying in budget hotels in Bangkok. My answer is yes, I absolutely recommend it. There are many budget hotels in Bangkok that are close to main attractions such as cultural sights, city train stations,  shopping malls and nightlife hot-spots. Most people think budget hotels equate to rooms with blood stained mattresses and bathroom sinks with missing faucets in the middle of nowhere.

So how would you react if I told you that most budget hotels in Bangkok have rooms with LCD TVs, CD/DVD player, free Wi-Fi, electronic room safe, a small swimming pool and gym. All of those amenities and facilities including a great location can be enjoyed in a budget hotel in Bangkok for $40 USD per night including taxes and free daily breakfast.

Now that you know all the good stuff there are trade offs to staying in budget hotels in Bangkok. One is hotel staff may not be highly trained and proficient in English or any other foreign language. From what I’ve noticed budget hotel owners put most of their money towards the design and functionality of their hotel property and less in qualified staff. This does not mean you’ll get poor service. It means be patient with hotel staff. They have a job to do and they will perform it to the best of their ability.

Another trade off is is that not all rooms in budget hotels are the same in quality. Some are better then others in terms of room conditions. Hotel’s reception staff know which room gets the most complaints, but there job is to keep the hotel full so management discourages room changes. So here’s the biggest tip you should remember. And this tip applies to all hotels in Bangkok. If you ever check in to a room that you don’t like for whatever reason, here’s a great way to get your room change.

Before you go downstairs to speak to reception or the hotel manager, you should dress as sharp as you can. Put on a nice long sleeve button down shirt, suit pant and shoes. When you’re speaking, speak with confidence. Thai society is class based and the better dressed you are the better treatment you’ll get as they think you’re successful when they see you. If a room is truly available you’ll get it. If you’re wearing swim short, tank top and flips flops then your request for a room change might be turned down with the answer that there aren’t any rooms available, even if there is.

The new face of backpackers hostels

August 20th, 2009

Flashpackers tend to be a little bit older, they’ve already been students and worked for a few years and they have a little bit more disposable income to spend on fun things and on their accommodation. However these older (and slightly more affluent) travelers still want the community feeling you get at backpackers hostels. Hostels are designed as places where you can easily meet other travelers rather than feeling a little bit isolated when staying in an anonymous hotel and so are still a very popular choice of accommodation for slightly older people traveling the world.

Another way to describe a “flashpackers hostel” could even be a backpackers hotel, and they’re popping up more and more often. They’re designed for backpackers so have all the communal areas to meet other people, cooking facilities so that you don’t have to eat out every night, and other facilities such as internet access (and WiFi), self service laundries and more often than not TV lounges.

But apart from the communal facilities these properties are becoming more like hotels. Yes they do have shared dorm facilities for those who are still on a stricter budget, but they also have a lot of private rooms available, great for young couples traveling who don’t want to stay at impersonal hotels. These private rooms are also often ensuited and even have their own TV’s, many of the people staying at these places feel like they’re staying at a high quality budget hotel but not paying through the nose for it. Even people who have never even considered staying at hostels before are now choosing them because they are affordable and they aren’t always filled with drunk 18 year olds.

One of these “Backpacker Hotels” has just opened in Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand. It was purpose built as a backpacker hotel by Nomads, who have been in the hostel business in Australia and New Zealand for several years. Their aim was to build the best, and on staying there you can see that they really are trying to achieve that goal. There are lots of little touches that you just don’t see anywhere else and they’re willingly accepting feedback from their guests about other aspects that could be improved upon. The private rooms are all ensuite and have a plasma TV, tea & coffee and a Lake or Mountain view. Pretty much all you want and need from a hotel in Queenstown, but it also has a fun feel to it. The staff are young and enthusiastic and want you to experience Queenstowns extreme activities and fun atmosphere so they’ll gladly advise you on where to go and what to do in Queenstown and for those traveling alone they do also organise group activities. Being right in the centre of Queenstown they’ve opted not to have a bar onsite as there are lots of good bars nearby and the hostel itself is then a quiet place to retreat to after a night out.

With the global economy in such a dire state at the moment, and the travel industry being one of the areas that seems to be suffering the most, places like these that are affordable but at the same time good quality accommodation will probably be the ones to thrive.

I’d like to thank Nomads Queenstown for showing me around their property and for their hospitality during my stay.

Susanne is a slightly older traveler who has had several travel articles published in various backpacking newspapers. She has been traveling on and off now for seven years and visited South East Asia, South America, Australia, New Zealand and many Pacific Islands.
