Finding the cheapest of Bargain Rooms in Southeast Asia
When preparing your round the world adventure trip, choosing comfortable backpacker accommodation on a low budget can be a daunting task. However, unlike the bed-ridden sleeping areas and cockroach-infested hotels that form your worst fears, a little money can stretch a long way in Southeast Asia, if you know where to look! If you're prepared to grab your rucksack and head only a couple of minutes walk from the recommended 'backpacker areas' featured in the likes of the Lonely Planet, then bargains are easily found.
Costs vary greatly across borders. A no-frills room in Bangkok in the primary budget traveller of the Khao San Road, will cost you about 300 baht (approx. GBP6 or USD9), and we're speaking no frills. Get away from the main street and clean, the same basic room can be rented for half this cost.
Heading north from Bangkok to the less populated Chiang Mai, your 300 baht can get you a multitude of 'flashpacker ' luxuries, from a pool to air conditioning and heaven forbid, even a heated shower!
Cambodia is less costly, while you can expect to either lower your standards or splash more money 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 waterfront bamboo hut for your stay.
But wherever in Southeast Asia you are staying, the uncertainty can be reduced by booking ahead. Head to an internet café and snap yourself up a deal, particularly around major calandar events such as the Full Moon parties on Koh Phangan where fees inflate and places quickly fill up. Some kindly owners will even collect you upon your arrival, thus saving you tuk tuk fees, so it's totally worth being that little bit more prepared.
And besides, which sweaty back-packers really want to traipse around flicking through a battered travel guide having spent 24 hours on a crowded cramped overnight bus?… not me!
Laura Davies is at present a student at the University of Sheffield, doing a summer internship with 'South East Asia Backpacker Magazine' a print and online resource for anyone 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.
