Great local hotel
The Shanti Lodge is in Tewez, a quiet neighborhood in the north of Bangkok. Though it's a little out of the way, it's one of the best options in the city if you're looking for value for your money. It has simple individual rooms for €10.00 and, if you're traveling as a couple and want to give your significant other a special surprise, an absolutely spectacular penthouse suite for only €50.00.
