;
46 Soi 6, Th Samsen; r 1000B; ; Tha Phra Athit,
Banglamphu)
A defiantly old-school hotel, an unassuming but comfortable choice for those
who don't want to stay on Th Khao San but don't want to be too far away.

Tha
Phra Athit, Banglamphu)
There's nothing flashy or particularly exceptional about this new
hostel, but a homey feel and positive feedback edge it into the recommendable column.
Dorms, which range from four to 14 beds, are clean, done out in pastel tones and have
ample natural light, and include lots of convenient amenities (washing machines, com-
puters, etc), although none of the latter are free.

8 Soi Chana Songkhram; r 600-1500B; ; Tha Phra Athit,
Banglamphu)
The cheapies here are some of the tiniest we've seen anywhere, but all rooms
are clean and neat, and come in a bright, friendly package. Exceedingly popular, so it's
best to book ahead.
LAMPHU TREEHOUSE $$

; 155 Wanchat Bridge, off Th Pracha- thipatai; incl breakfast r
1450-2500B, ste 3600-4900B; ; Tha Phan Fah)
Despite the name, this attractive
midranger has its feet firmly on land, and as such represents brilliant value. The wood-
panelled rooms are attractive and inviting, and the rooftop bar, pool, internet cafe, restaur-
ant and quiet canal-side location ensure that you may never feel the need to leave. A new
annexe a couple of blocks away increases your odds of snagging an elusive reservation.
Highly recommended, but be sure to book at least a month in advance.

Located in a former school, the 42 rooms
here surround an inviting garden courtyard and are generally large, bright and cheery.
