Sunday, June 15th, 2008

If your passion is travel, but its budget squeals like a rubber ducky underfoot every time you hit the road, then perhaps you might want to consider some of the best cheap hotels in Asia. Indeed, a number of them, but unfortunately, trying to find them is like looking for their lost keys, you know they exist somewhere, but placing them in his hands is the hard part. All prices are in U.S. dollars are getting to be a luxury item, to proceed as the dollar remains firm in his death defying plummet (hint, hint Mr. President)

Orchidee Hostel, Sihanoukville in Cambodia utopia

Cheap Asian hotels are not supposed to have a pool much less a beautiful pool that is within 100 meters of the ocean. Brand new rooms and a cost for most of the rooms at $ 20 is a hard tackling going on. Of course for the really cheap you can go to Utopia, which is free, but you’ll have lots of company close enough to smell the garlic pizza and beer for them had a snack at midnight, as they all could pay the they kept their travel stash money in dollars, which are losing their value so fast that if you tape them to the back of a moped vai go much faster according to Physics, indicates that for every action there is an equal opposite reaction.

Rooms are $ 14 to $ 18 U.S. dollars a night or Zimbabwe dollars, since they have almost reached parity in the local markets cambodian.

AA Hotel Pattaya Thailand

I just love the pool, I do not really love the view from the pool on the floor 4. The pool overlooking the bay and Pattaya is very close to Pattaya Walking Street, one of the best places in the world for people watching as the crowd is more strange that wears the night. Approximately $ 25 USD, but getting more expensive as the dollar remains firm in his savings account emptying the fall pique.

Dai Kim Hong Saigon Vietnam

I really like to see the city scanning Saigon from 6 and 7 floors. If you do not get is a living, then any of the other hotels in the area will do. The highlight is the large Vietnamese coffee on the sidewalk of the café, accessible even to the poorest travellers carrying dollars, which are becoming so light, a value that you can use them as floatation devices.

Cheap Hotels Singapore Aljunied Stop Singapore on the subway.

Most people looking for cheap hotels in Singapore usually stay in Little India that all is well, but you get twice as much for half the price if you go a little younger stops falling. Walk outside the main entrance of the Aljunied station for the small pocket park, turn right one block, turn left at the stop light, one block to the next stop light turn right again and choose who you want. The best street food is here, and some of the most interesting night life in Singapore in only $ 25 U.S. dollars a night that a deal! I think to be fair I should mention that he is very close to an area of adult entertainment, but hey people who actually stay in cheaper hotels in Asia are most likely seen this before. The hotels are getting a little more expensive than the value of the U.S. ball “, which is beginning to appear as Jonathan Livingston Seagull wearing his helmet lead in their first day of stunt flying.
