Bungalows in Thailand. A balanced look from a traveler, including many photos of various rooms and what to expect to pay while backpacking or traveling in Thailand.



    This post is to help show you what types of rooms and Bungalows you can expect to find and stay in while traveling throughout Thailand. I have taken many pictures, and advise you to first inspect the room and then to negotiate a better price if you decide to take the room.

Make sure you have a BUG net. It is a necessity.
Don't take a room without one, or plan to get no sleep and move the next day.

Bugs bugs, bugs.




 Here is Ploy, on the porch of our Bungalow, with our New Honda MSX,
We drove up from Chiang Mai, to Pai this week,  along the road with 1,000 hair pin curves.




Here was our room, with a bug net, and two large double beds.

The sheets were clean and so were our towels. It was an excellent room for $13 dollars a night!






Here is a night time view of a "cool" place to stay.
It is relaxing to listen to the insects of the jungle as you talk and rest, and sleep.
Take a break, your in Thailand, you deserve the right atmosphere!
This is the view from a mountain near Pai, overlooking the town, the river, the many
 Bungalow guest houses, and the rice fields.
Here is a TEAK Bungalow.  It was being rented for $35 dollars a night, but had
ambiance, taste,and style. A sure hit with your partner.
A nice clean air-conditioned bungalow, with hot water and
a NICE Bathroom.       Comfort and travel in one package.
$40 a night.

The next bungalow looks exactly the same,
 but is going for 1/4 the price.
Style, rustic, peace and quiet.
A hot water bathroom, and a great porch with a nice hammock.
Only $ 13 dollars a night.   Many people pay more, but don't much extra.

Look around, and find a room that suits your need and budget.
Never make reservations, unless you expect to PAY for them.
Here is Ploy, sitting in the shade shack upon the mountain above Pai.

Sunday Night Market, Walking Street, Chaing Mai, Thailand. I have been living in Chiang Mai for ten years.


What a nice Sunday evening it was. As usual, the weekly Sunday Night Walking Street was busy with vendors, tourists and locals, all looking for something special to buy. There is something for everyone, and for every taste. Even if it is just a nice long walk after dinner,  or for some people watching. There are people from all around the world. It is an international event, with emphasis on local Thai handicrafts and hand made artisan's work.


Spicy Rice soup.
Some tasty crab cakes,
stuffed back in the shell!

Sunday Night Walking Market is a must for everyone who comes to Chiang Mai.


You will get the feel for town and the gracious hospitality of the Northern Thai people.



This is a silver handicraft, which represents the foot of
The Buddha. A story is told by the pictures inscribed into its sole.



Here is a Thai Chedi,  the spire of a temple.
Small Naga trinkets, in both Gold and natural wood.

Different types of bugs and insects are readily available
for your collection.
Fish  balls, and Thai Style hot dogs.
Pad Thai for sale is only 50 Cents!


These beautiful bowl are made of Mango wood.  I have two of them at home.
Here is a Tuk Tuk (3 wheeled Taxi) made from Beer Chang Cans.

Bungalows in Thailand, A Picture Blog Story of What you can expect to stay in for between $3-30 Dollars per night!

This is an excellent quality two story Bungalow.


    I am making this post, to show you the full range and spectrum of Bungalows that you can expect to see, and stay in, while traveling through South East Asia.
 
    From the best, to the worst. All varieties are available, depending on what your needs are, either, creature comfort wise, or financially.

    You can expect to finding quality Bungalows for between $3-30 dollars per night, depending on the location you are visiting, and the quality of the room.

     Please remember, the longer you stay, and the harder you are willing to bargain, the better your per-night price will be.

I realize that pictures will show the bungalows far better than words. So here they are, and you can decide what you are looking for.




Here is a row of typical Thai style moderately priced Bungalows.
Bungalows like this are only about $10 dollars a night!

Here is the Porch of my Bungalow. Small, quaint, but Happy.
