can you recommend a hotel/lodging that is cheap and cheerful with good wifi. dont need aircon .

plan to be there from 26 jan to 24 feb

aiming for less than 200 baht/day for 30 days

hotel i use presently for short trips is 300/day (fan only/no hot water) so will see what deal they can offer...

And I thought I was cheap....

I wouldn't have any idea that cheap.Topmansion is reasonable.And A great location.I think around 450 baht if I remember.maybe go to bnb.com. But I doubt you'll find something around that price.I imagine there are strictly thai guest houses,but I don't know of any.Go to udonmap and check it out.

If you judge by the daily base you can't reach that level, but monthly starts from 2k for simple rooms.

You might ask Toffee @ Udon RE ([email protected]) as when I was looking for a house she told me that just around the corner she had some rooms for rent starting at 2k or 2.5k if I remember correctly. May be one of them is free...

The rooms are like 3 km outside of the ring road, so you'll need a motorbike.

Bye,

Derk

The local wat. Lot of teachers on the local non work permit payroll just passing threw.

The cheapest hotel on daily basis I know is the Tweesap Hotel , Soi 1 Adunyadet in the center of Udon, before 160baht now 180 baht with fan and 250bht with aircon.

Free WIFI available in the lobby/restaurant.

Try the backpackers near the bus station, cheap and centre of town

thanks tafia the backpackers r on my list to pop into and check out.

cheers

Yes i would also agree with the backpackers.. Double bed, fan, on suite and a tv.. More than you expect for less that 200baht.. Last time i knew it was 150 baht that was last year, dont think the price would change too much.

thanks liam

yes i will drop by and check them out

cheers

The best option.. As i see you are staying for a month... You will get a good room hot water air con wi fi the lot on a monthly rate at about 3,500-5,000 a month less than 200 baht a day.

so a quick update

backpackers is 3500B/month for cold shower

Tweesap is 170B/day with no monthly rate offered.

i am going to check out AEK apartments their websites offers rooms at 3000B/mth

cheers
