After looong time thinking and consulting with people who
might know, even speaking to the girl who traveled Thailand on her own and
told me not to book anything until I arrive there as I will definitely receive better
offers and useful tips upon arrival, I decided to book the hostel for the first
three nights in Bangkok. As I completely understand the girl’s approach and it
is probably true what she is saying, from my experience it is such a peace of
mind to already have some starting point organised wherever you travel. The
decision which hostel/hotel to choose was influenced by two major factors,
first one was the fact that I am expecting to be jet-lagged for the first few
days (and after being in Australia I know how painful this experience is for me)
therefore I decided not to go straight into shared dorms but instead to select
a decent single room or to book a whole double room just for myself, which of
course doubles the price, but is not a problem in (I am yet to confirm) famously
cheap Thailand. The second factor was my boyfriend’s opinion as he is lucky
enough to have already been to Thailand before and advised me to stay away from
the main streets and also told me about rough areas to avoid. Out of few
hostels I was considering, I finally booked The Cozy Bangkok Place and this is
where I will be staying from 5th to 8th September. I
cannot wait!
