Locating the cheapest of Cheap Dorms in Southeast Asia
When you're planning your round the world adventure trip, choosing comfortable backpacker accommodation on a low budget can be a difficult job. But unlike the bed-ridden dormitories and cockroach-infested hostels that are the stuff of nightmares, a little money can stretch a long way in Southeast Asia, if you know where to look! If you're prepared to snatch your rucksack and head just a 1 or 2 minutes walk from the most highly recommended 'backpacker areas' featured in the likes of the Lonely Planet, then low prices are just waiting to be found.
Costs vary significantly across borders. A basic room in Bangkok in the primary backpacker centre of the Khao San Road, will cost you about 300 baht (approx. GBP6 or USD9), and we are chatting no frills. However, move away from the main street and clean, simple rooms can be found for 50% of this cost.
Heading north from Bangkok to the less populated Chiang Rai, your 300 baht can get you a multitude of 'flashpacker ' luxuries, from a pool to air conditioning and heaven forbid, even a hot shower!
Cambodia is less costly, while you can expect to either lower your standards or drop more cash in the more touristy areas like Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi (Southern Thailand).
In Laos 150 baht will go a long way, or you can save the pennies and go basic with a riverside bamboo hut in which to rest your head.
But wherever in Southeast Asia you are staying, the uncertainty can be taken out of the process by forward planning. Head to an internet café and snap yourself up a deal, particularly around popular calandar events such as the Full Moon parties on Koh Phangan where fees inflate and places rapidly fill up. Some kindly owners will even collect you upon your arrival, thus sparing you the cost of a tuk tuk, so it's definitely worth being that little bit more prepared.
And besides, which sweaty back-packers really want to trudge around flicking through a battered guidebook having spent 24 hours on a crowded cramped overnight bus?… not me!
Laura Davies is at present a student from University of Sheffield, doing a summer internship with 'South East Asia Backpacker Magazine' a print and online resource for any person travelling the area and looking for backpacker friendly accommodation on the cheap. Helping scholars like herself to enjoy back-packing around Southeast Asia.

A backpack fitted with pocket(s) that are suspended on the wearer"s front side (chest) and loaded in such a way that the load in the front and the load in the back are about equal is called a bodypack. The majority of the load on a bodypack is carried by the hips.
