Hello all,
I am planning my first trip to Thailand with my wife this November and trying to decide on where to stay for a few nights in BKK. I have a friend there who lives right next to PhraKhanong BTS station on Sukhumvit. Ideally, we'd like to stay nearby him. Basically need an affordable place between $20 and $40 a night, with good location and quality.
Any TeakDoor "pro-tip" suggestions on best places to stay in that area within that budget?
Also, how are most hotels about the number of guests per room? Her mother will be flying in from Manila and to keep costs down, we'd just as soon share a room for the 3 of us.
Do they charge extra for more than 2 per room?
We plan on 6 nights in Bangkok book-ended around 4 or 5 nights in Krabi with some friends. What do you guys suggest on seeing & doing in BKK for that amount of time? We'd like to maybe see a temple/cultural sites, some markets/shopping, good dining spots, etc.
We also plan to visit the RamKhamhaeng University which we are contemplating enrolling in next year to live in Thailand for a while studying. Anyone know anything about that place?
Thanks in advance for the great info, we're really looking forward to this adventure.
