When we said that Thailand is a backpacker’s paradise, we weren’t lying! Bangkok is filled with hostels, bed-and-breakfasts, and budget-friendly hotels. You don’t even have to spend much on your accommodation, especially if you plan to spend more time outdoors and do tons of Thailand activities during your visit. We encourage you to spend on a hotel that fits your basic needs and splurge your budget on activities instead.
With Klook, you can book a decent three-star accommodation for just INR 3,750 per night or INR 7,500 for a three-day, two-night trip. Some are even available for a much more affordable price or with a big discount!
