Most travelers know that South East Asia has some great hotels at very cheapprices. I am not going to talk 4 or 5 star hotels, but the decent 2 to 3 starhotels which do provide great comfort if you follow some very basic tips.
Find the hotel online and look for online reviews of the hotel, compare pricesto other websites. Chances are if you type Khao Sok hotels in google or evenSydney Hotels, you will find a number of agencies who will offer specials forthe same hotels.
Once you find a good price, ring the hotel and see how much the rooms arebecause often the prices on 2 to 3 star hotels on the internet are outdated andyou can save yourself some money.
One thing I do, if it is not peak season, a good idea is to only book the onenight at your destination and then look around the next day for otheraccommodation. Their is still many hotels that are not in hotel websites or evenhave a website at all.
I have stayed all over South East Asia and I got a walk in rate on a brand newairconditioned bungalow which was 20 meters from the beach at about USD $10 anight and this hotel new only new and was not in any website that I could find.
So you should only book 1 or 2 nights at a time and then walk around to find anybetter and cheaper hotels. The chances are if it is not peak season in thedestination you're in, you will find plenty of great bargains around.
What you would expect at a good 3 star hotel is a decent bed, hot shower andwestern toilet, if you are not going to be spending too much time in the room,then that is all you need.
Spend more money on tours and not on somewhere that is only going to be used tosleep and store your bags while discovering your destination.
