Budget
Lub D
Lub D proves that being on a budget doesn't have to mean losing out on style or location.
There are two Lub D "hostels" in Bangkok, both rocking an industrial chic design.
The original is on Decho Road, off Silom.
The newer Siam location is opposite National Stadium, close to the BTS SkyTrain and a short walk to Siam Square and the malls of Rajaprasong.
It has four-bed dorms, economy twin rooms, doubles and, our favorite, a queen-bed suite with a private bathroom and LCD TV.
The Wi-Fi is free and the beer cheap.
You won't find those attributes in too many five-star establishments.
