Where We Slept is our hotel roundup from our time on the road. We hope it helps budget travelers see how far their dollar can go--even though sometimes, it's not far enough!
Don Khon isn't the cheapest and some of the rooms are upwards of $50 dollars.
Don't let the sticker shock get to you though, as cheap bungalows can still be had. You'll have to decide whether you're sacrificing AC, a view, or WiFi, but once you figure that out, you can get something solid for around 70,000-100,000K.
We stayed at Dok Champa, which is one of the bungalows furthest away from the French bridge (no online footprint). We had a great view and decent WiFi, but no AC. To say it was hot at night is an understatement, but after we asked for a second fan to accompany the one on the ceiling, we slept a lot better. We paid 90,000K and the couple who owns the bungalows were nice enough to buy us a second hammock for our porch.
TIP: If you have no AC, try to find a bungalow with two windows
That really helps the air flow. Otherwise, ask for a second fan.
If you want to stay somewhere fancier, there are a few different places on TripAdvisor.
