Bangkok is one of the most fascinating and exciting city to visit in Southeast Asia. Aside from airfare, the expense of hotels can make any traveler's budget soar and put a damper into the holiday of a lifetime. The good news is that there are ways to land yourself the best room rates for budget hotels or even for those luxury hotels that has been written many times in popular mainstream travel magazines.
The first mistake most people make when reserving a room at a hotel is booking through the hotel directly (though I do recommend checking their website just to see how much they charge). Most hotels these days have websites with an online reservation forms which makes it easy and convenient. But doing so will cost you much more in most cases.
The solution is to find a hotel reservation agency based in Bangkok. These agencies are able to offer discounted hotel rates because they are essentially wholesalers who have already purchased a section of rooms at a considerably lower price. And since these agencies have a much wider presence on the Internet through brand marketing they are able to pass these savings onto travelers. Regional agencies are much more knowledgeable about the hotel industry in Bangkok. So they are in a much better position to offer you better rates compared to global competitors.
However, the true benefit from using the services of a hotel reservation agency is that most offer last minute hotel deals. These offers are introduced to the public when a certain number of rooms in any particular hotel needs to be filled due to some type of quota. Needless to say the room rates are reduced considerably more and may include some type of coupon for spa treatments or breakfast.
Another bonus about local hotel reservation agencies is that they can provide instant room availabilities. So if you're arriving within a few hours or even a day you won't have to wait for a reply and wonder if the hotel you want to stay has rooms available. You'll receive a voucher once your payment is made with the knowledge that a room is reserved for you.
