Backpacker1
It’s the ultimate freedom trip: all your belongings strapped to your back, a guidebook in your pocket and a multi-stop ticket in your hand. But it’s not for the fainthearted: cockroaches, 20-hour train journeys and dodgy dorms is something the backpacker will have to get used to. Got any good advice for making this the most memorable of all journeys? Post them here, or see below for our readers’ best backpacking tips

    Roam The World

    Posted by andrewandlj 11 March 2010

    This website is useful for backpackers: it has a budget calculator so you can accurately work out the cost of travelling in every country. I found it reliable when travelling throughout Thailand.

    Roof View Place

    Posted by Sissi 28 July 2009

    If you're backpacking in Bangkok why pay for a dorm when you can get a private room for the same price?

    The Roof View is a lovely guesthouse with dirt cheap private rooms, and free breakfast, linen and towels.

    The rooms are all pretty stylish,there are comfy beds with fresh white decor and a private balcony.

    It's a ten minute walk to the Khaosan Road and a short bus drive to the Grand Palace.

    90/1 Samsean Rd Soi 6,, Banpanthom, Pranakorn, Bangkok, Thailand 10200
