World of Buzz crew just took on Bangkok last week (okay we actually just went there for a holiday) but my love for the city is real.
Yes, we’re in the famous Chatuchak market! Shoppingggg.
The first time I stayed in a hostel was in Bangkok and even though some people might cringe at the idea, you’d be pretty surprised how pleasant it actually is. Hostels bring a totally different experience and is perfect for young travellers because you are able to make friends from countries like Japan, Korea, America and literally anywhere. So don’t knock it until you’ve try it!
Although Malaysian currency isn’t doing too well, Thailand is still one of the top destinations we can still afford, especially when you’re staying one of these places:
1. The Blocks Hostel
The hostel is located in a quiet alley just right next to the main road and it is situated between two BTS stations, Asok and Nana. Choose your pick which station you want to go to because they are both only a 4 minute walk away. Besides that, there’s a nice mall 5 minutes down the street from the hostel.
Unlike most hostels, this place offers a lift so you don’t have to lug your heavy baggage up flights of stairs. So it’s definitely a plus!

2. Matchbox Hostel
Matchbox hostel is located very conveniently near a BTS, Phrom Phong Station which is a 6 minute walk away. Right next to the station is Bangkok’s new luxury mall, Emquartier that is worth checking out.
The capsules this hostel offer are clean and comes with a curtain so you can have your own privacy and it’s less awkward when you’re sharing with strangers.
