Showerthought: I always thought hostels were the cheapest option until I looked at guesthouses in Thailand
I was dead set on booking hostels for my trip to Chiang Mai next month, but then I stumbled on a blog post from some guy who broke down costs per night. Turns out private guesthouse rooms in the old city run about $8-$12 a night, which is literally the same as a dorm bed in a hostel. The catch is you have to book direct or use Agoda, not Booking.com. Has anyone else noticed guesthouses being cheaper than dorms in Southeast Asia?

Just showed up in Bangkok once with no bookings and ended up sleeping in a bus station.
