Tips
- Pick area before hostel — Silom/Sukhumvit for nightlife and BTS, Khaosan/Old Town for temples and backpacker scene.
- Bring a padlock — most hostel lockers fit your own padlock but charge 50-100 baht to rent one.
- Earplugs and a sleep mask are non-negotiable for hostel dorms.
- Mid-week is cheaper — most hostels drop prices Mon-Thu by 100-150 baht.
