I have stayed in 74 Thai provinces. "Guess the other 3" .
Started off in 2005 in 200 baht a night hotels and was quiet happy doing it that way.Then covid hit and i found out i could get a 2000 baht room for 500.
That spoilt me for staying in shiitholes but still limit myself to 500.Currently in Phuket paying the same for a clean bed,wifi,kettle,tv and fridge.
