Default Hotel, Condo or Villa

Hi Friends,

I am making some small research for myself.

When you are on holiday in Thailand, where do you prefer to stay?

As expats we usually know where to go and where can get the best price.

So do you prefer Condo, Hotel or Private Villa?

What budget per day you usually spend?

Thanks to everybody!

Cheers

Kal

I would mostly choose a condo over a hotel room, but it's all down to budget in the end, and depends on length of stay as well. If it's a long stay then I get more of a feeling of being 'at home' in a condo, and I prefer the extra privacy.

I'm not one for sun loungers by the hotel pool.

Cost? For a month's stay I would be looking for around 8-12K baht for a clean, small condo, if on my own. But that's because I know what I can get if I look hard enough.

Last time in Bkk, we stayed at Banyan Tree. Was 10k baht/night. Usually we stay for between 500-1000 baht though.

EDIT: Btw, picture from the bar/resturant at the top of Banyan Tree. Nice, romantic atmosphere!

I can suggest a serviced apartment which has a 2 bedroom apt with kitchen / fridge etc and washing machine etc which is going for 4000 baht / day. not bad compared to hotel rooms which go for 6k-8k.

Its near the bed supper club and qbar and all the great eating places.

Its an apartment which they rent out on daily basis.
if you need any help let me know.
cheers
