Tamara Knell
Available for hire
I've spent 6 months working in Thailand as a tour guide, so it's safe to say I know my way around the country. This guide contains all of my favorite (budget-friendly) hostels and hotels that I have personally stayed in, divided by each tourist hot spot.

Mad Monkey Bangkok
@tamaraknell
Very popular hostel near Khao San Road. Lots of backpackers stay here and they have tons of activities and bar crawls so you can make friends. They even have a pool.

Chillax Heritage Hotel Khaosan
@tamaraknell
This hotel has an amazing rooftop infinity pool that overlooks the city. The rooms are spacious and beds are so so comfy. The staff are all lovely and its located near Khao San Road (but far enough away that it's quiet).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tamara Knell
Available for hire
Originally from LA, I've solo traveled to 54 countries at 27 years old.
Most of my travels have revolved around South East Asia, Central America, Europe, Australia, and South America.
I specialize in budget backpacking and slow travel. I focus my recommendations on adventure activities, nature, cultural experiences, local food, and nightlife.
I've had tons of crazy experiences along my journey that has shaped me into the confident backpacker I am today. I want every person (but women especially!) to feel the joy and freedom that comes from solo traveling.
I'll tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly. I've made tons of mistakes traveling; I've lost my debit card, had medical emergencies, stolen iPhones, and the occasional mental breakdown...or two. Traveling is not always picture perfect so I want to show you all the nitty gritty details to make sure you are THE most prepared for your backpacking adventure.
