Hi me, Silk in Amsterdam: Well Its been a few years since I've been to
Bangkok however I remember loads of rooms for around $10 [some for $5]
but as I say these are just rooms but they weren't at all that bad, showers
& toliets ect. that
were perfectly ok (they weren't dumps nor dirty just rooms to sleep) . Of
course some peeps are more finicky than others. I like to go more or less
as the locals do. Pick up a copy of lonely planet. I recently was in New
York &spoke to some folks who had just toured Europe ? Stayed in Hilton
hotels &took tour buses around the cities? I wouldn't exactly say they saw
Europe? Oh well to each his own. Some people attempt to live abroad as they
do back home &thats ok too, I like to really see &feel the place &you
can't do that from the Hilton hotel, you don't have to suffer at all going
like a local. I mean like some of the best trips in Thailand are to out of
the way places &there sure are no $30 Hotels on some of these treks. You go
3 or 4 days &more or less rough it but its like camping, not bad at all
[my opinion] of course my mother would never stay in one of those $10 rooms?
Like I say different strokes for different folks! Like Sue says around the
Khao San road you can learn all. chao/Silk
