Great Values

The city of Bangkok is a great value all by itself, thanks to the favorable exchange rate between the dollar and the Baht. Still, with some careful maneuvering, you can stretch those dollars even farther. These are the inexpensive, yet unforgettable, attractions, restaurants, hotels, and shops that make penny-pinching seem easy.

Siam Heritage
This hidden gem, steps away from Patpong’s notorious bars, features classy rooms decorated with authentic antiques; it manages to turn first-time guests into regulars, thanks to its excellent facilities, courteous staff, and affordable rates.

Nai Lert Park
Prepare for jaw-dropping experiences in the cathedral-like lobby. The calm, fluid blend of ’60s and ’70s style in the public areas extends into the serene rooms that open up to enormous tropical gardens.

The Eugenia
Neo-Victorian mansion housing just 12 suites, all highly individual, though all decked out in period-style. Serene privacy, even at the small pool, and the owner’s all-pervading, exquisite taste are definitely worth the relatively high rates.
Soi Sukhumvit; Bangkok; 011-66-2-259-9017; www.theeugenia.com

Ad Here The 13th
Surprisingly, live music is very popular in Bangkok, and this tiny hole-in-the-wall is one of its fierce defenders, packing in bohemians night after night. Whiskey and soda is the main staple. (Close to Khao San Road, but not at all backpacky.)
13 Samsen Rd.; Bangkok

Suan Lum Night Bazaar
The "official" night market draws in a young crowd, but everybody loves browsing vendor stalls for crafts, textiles, and knickknacks before hanging out at the rustic, lively food court and beer garden. The gem market, always a bargain, is particularly interesting.
Rama IV Rd.; MRT Lumphini; Bangkok
