If you’re in Bangkok for a short time and primarily want to visit around Banglamphu, chances are that you’re going to end up in Khao San Road. If you’re wearing flip flops and a backpack, it’s a certitude.
Don’t believe the hate, Khao San is a place that has a pretty nice atmosphere and is located near the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun and not far away from Chinatown or the Golden Mount (Wat Sakhet). If you’re sticking to the basic to do list, you might end up spending a day or two in Bangkok without going near Sukhumvit.
Here are 5 choices of hotels and hotels in the Khao San area that should suit your budget.
La Moon Hostel
If you’re up for a dormitory in a cozy atmosphere a bit away from Khao San. Enough to stay calm, but near enough to get all the bars and food you need (10 minute walk). If you’re not looking for a party hostel, but more of a place where you can meet people, and exchange in a nice environment, that might be the best choice.

Krit Hostel
Located near the Golden Mount (definitely worth the visit), the Krit Hostel is walking distance to Khao San road and gets a nice chillout rooftop (not really the Sky bar at Lebua but that’s not the spirit). Bunk beds in mixed or female rooms are available and the breakfast is surprising.
