Chinatown And Pahurat

Chinatown/Pahurat General

The few budget hotels in this area are either short-term places best avoided or particularly grimy and poor value.

Aside from theses a range of mid-range guesthouses off Chakraphet Road mainly aimed at South Asians are also on offer. Up around Maitrichit Road there are a lot of cheap Chinese hotels, but these are virtualy all short-term places and best avoided.

MY Guest House - Very basic but friendly
114 Phat Sai Rd, Corner of Songsawat Road, Chinatown
T: (02) 223 5963;
An old favourite for those who want to do Chinatown on a shoestring. Cold water showers are the norm here and don't expect a TV. The rooms are mostly windowless and feel a bit claustrophobic, but ... MY Guest House complete profile

Hualamphong Train Station

A couple of cheap hotels lie within walking distance of Hualamphong that may be useful if you arrive late or are leaving early, but none of them are very good.
