Red Planet Bangkok Surawong

Their flat pricing is revolutionary for the industry: 1,288 THB (about $40) per night, for any room, at any time. The transparency of this system is reassuring in that you know you aren’t paying more than any other guest, and is particularly welcome during high tourism season when most hotels bump up their prices.

For this inclusive price, you get super-fast WiFi (not to be taken for granted in Bangkok), incredible beds, reliable air-con, and a power shower so good you’ll forget to step out. There is not an in-house restaurant, but hotel guests get discounts on several local eateries, which is great as it encourages you to enjoy the area. For those nights where you just want to sit in your room with some snacks, there is a 7-11 at the front of the building.
