6 Affordable Hotels in Thailand to Fulfill Your "White Lotus" Dreams on a Budget | Condé Nast Traveler

"It’s hard to believe that rooms at a hotel this smart can come in at such a pleasing price—residences are often under $200—but the contemporary, elegant rooms are flooded with natural light and have small kitchenettes with washing machines, which is particularly handy if you’re traveling light or with a family in this hot, humid city. You’ll have access to a 27th-floor pool and bar with sensational city views, plus a small spa with excellent tension-relieving therapists; if you can allocate a little more cash, it’s worth upgrading to a suite. The decor is more exciting—chevron carpets and marble bathrooms with huge tubs—and, best of all, you get round-the-clock access to the rooftop infinity pool with its panoramic views of the speakeasy-filled Thonglor neighborhood. Suites also include a private butler, a complimentary hour of sundowner drinks at the 27th-floor bar, and access to a small, serene breakfast room, with breakfast served until 5 p.m." - Hannah Summers
