Bangkok Trip 2014 - Boxpackers Hostel

Boxpackers Hostel provides all the daily necessities I needed. It is strategically located and is cheap! The right place if you're gonna stay alone.

Boxpackers Hostel is located near Pratunam area in between the vicinity of Ratchathewi and Phaya Thai. It's located near the shopping heaven; fashion Platinum Fashion Mall and Pratunam markets. Boxpackers Hostel is within walking distances from the 2 BTS stations. It takes around 10 - 15mins walking duration.

Box packer hostel provides the following:

For Bedding: A pillow, a huge cushion for you to lean against while sitting, a blanket and of course a bed.

For Showering: A towel. I've stayed in a 10 person dome. It is equipped with 2 toilet bowls and 2 shower rooms to share among us. Shampoo and body foam are provided too! I've not experienced "fighting" for toilet facilities during my 5 days of stay so shouldn't be much of an issue.

There are other facilities like a common area with a washing machine, a long dinning table, a sink sink for washing and free water dispenser with hot and cold water. There are some books, board games and a Play Station 2 with an LED TV to keep you entertained.

It's my first time staying in a hostel. Personally, I feel that it's much better than staying alone in a posh hotel facing the cold walls. Instead, you can strike occasional conversations with your roommates and meet new acquaintances. Furthermore, it's cheaper! Cheers!
