Additionally, their network of hotels in the country is superior to that of Booking. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>: There aren&#8217;t many &#8220;cons&#8221;, when booking a hotel in Asia on Agoda. The only exception is, perhaps, China, since there are specialized portals for that country that offer a wider range of hotels, especially in less visited areas. <\/p>\n<h3>Booking<\/h3>\n<div style='float: right'><ins class=\"bookingaff\" data-aid=\"1251793\" data-target_aid=\"827597\" data-prod=\"nsb\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"250\" data-lang=\"xu\" data-dest_id=\"209\" data-dest_type=\"country\"><br \/>\n    <!-- Anything inside will go away once widget is loaded. --><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/\/www.booking.com?aid=827597\">Booking.com<\/a><br \/>\n<\/ins><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    (function(d, sc, u) {\n      var s = d.createElement(sc), p = d.getElementsByTagName(sc)[0];\n      s.type = 'text\/javascript';\n      s.async = true;\n      s.src = u + '?v=' + (+new Date());\n      p.parentNode.insertBefore(s,p);\n      })(document, 'script', '\/\/aff.bstatic.com\/static\/affiliate_base\/js\/flexiproduct.js');\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/country\/th.en-gb.html?aid=827597\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Booking<\/a> is one of the most famous and efficient platforms for booking a hotel in the entire world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>: Booking is an extremely professional platform; they also often offer the possibility of cancelling your reservation without additional fees (by a certain date).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>: Their selection of hotels in Thailand is less than that of Agoda, and their prices are often higher.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparing the two platforms<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Number of hotels:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/country\/thailand.html?cid=1598559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Agoda  site<\/a>, we see that in Thailand there are about 25,504 possible hotels, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/country\/th.en-gb.html?aid=827597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Booking<\/a> there are about 18,300.<\/p>\n<p>If we take Bangkok as an example, the most visited city, Agoda offers 3,153 hotels and Booking 2,217. Lastly, if we take a look at  <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nong_Khai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nong Khai<\/a>, a destination that isn&#8217;t frequented by tourists (at the most you could pass by if you&#8217;re heading to Laos), Agoda offers 64 hotels and Booking 43.   <\/p>\n<p>To conclude, if you already have an account on Booking, considering that the differences aren&#8217;t terribly great, you might think about just booking with them (unless the prices on Agoda are much less). If you don&#8217;t have an account with either Booking or Agoda, then Agoda is likely your best choice!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prices:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a comparison of prices in USD (American Dollars) of three hotels in Bangkok (for three nights starting August 1st). There&#8217;s a cheap hotel (In a Box Hostel), a mid-range hotel (Hotel Clover Asoke), and a high-end hotel (Villa Song Saigon).<\/p>\n<ul class=\"space-list\">\n<li><strong>In a Box Hostel<\/strong>: A bed in a small room costs 9 USD a night on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/in-a-box-hostel\/hotel\/bangkok-th.html?cid=1598559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Agoda<\/a>, and 11 USD a night on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/in-a-box-hostel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booking<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hotel Clover Asoke<\/strong>: The price for a double room on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/hotel-clover-asoke-bangkok\/hotel\/bangkok-th.html?cid=1598521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Agoda<\/a> is 50 USD a night, while on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/clover-asoke.en.html?aid=827597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booking<\/a> it&#8217;s 64 USD a night.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Peninsula Bangkok<\/strong>: The price for a double room on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/the-peninsula-bangkok\/hotel\/bangkok-th.html?cid=1598559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Agoda<\/a> is 207 USD a night, while on  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/the-peninsula-bangkok.en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booking<\/a> it&#8217;s 241 USD a night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, Agoda can be cheaper (even though prices are often similar). <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hotel-thailand-2\">Internet connection<\/h2>\n<p>Hotels in Thailand often offer a satisfactory internet connection, as do international hostels. If though internet connection is really important to you, then I recommend that you really read the reviews found on Agoda and Booking. <\/p>\n<p>Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/best-vpns-for-thailand\/\" >take a look at our article about net restrictions in Thailand<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hotel-thailand-3\">Where to book your hotel<\/h2>\n<p>For Bangkok, I recommend that you book something in the center since you&#8217;re talking about an enormous city and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/get-around-bangkok-transportation-system\/\" >public transportation isn&#8217;t the best<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>The other cities are more &#8220;liveable&#8221;; so if walking for 20-30 minutes isn&#8217;t a problem, you don&#8217;t necessarily have to book in the city center.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hotel-thailand-4\">Are hotels in Thailand safe?<\/h2>\n<p>Thailand is a relatively safe country (so long as you stay away from the frequent political protests). The only problem you might run into is theft from your room, especially in budget hostels where the locks aren&#8217;t the greatest. <\/p>\n<p>Many hostels offer the option of inserting a padlock on the door to your room; you can bring one from home or get one in the many tourist shops (usually shops that sell bags and pouches, etc, also sell padlocks).  <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hotel-thailand-5\">The best hotels in the major cities<\/h2>\n<style>\n.sublanding-element h2 {\nfont-size: 16px\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"sublanding-section\">\n<div class=\"sublanding-element\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/best-hotels-bangkok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotels\/thumbs-page\/bangkok.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel a Saigon\" title=\"Hotel a Bangkok\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hotels in Bangkok<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sublanding-element\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/best-hotels-chiang-mai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotels\/thumbs-page\/chiang-mai.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel a Chiang Mai\" title=\"Hotel a Chiang Mai\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hotels in Chiang Mai<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sublanding-element\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/best-hotels-pattaya\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotels\/thumbs-page\/pattaya.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel a Pattaya\" title=\"Hotel a Pattaya\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hotels in Pattaya<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sublanding-element\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/best-hotels-chiang-rai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotels\/thumbs-page\/chiang-rai.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel a Chiang Rai\" title=\"Hotel a Chiang Rai\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hotels in Chiang Rai<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sublanding-element\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/best-hotels-koh-samet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hotels\/thumbs-page\/koh-samet.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel a Koh Samet\" title=\"Hotel a Koh Samet\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hotels in Koh Samet<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"hotel-thailand-6\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Is Thailand cheap to visit?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">It all depends on what you want. You can survive with as little as 20 US dollars a day, if you book a cheap hostel and survive on street food. Other people, on the other hand, spend hundreds of dollars a day on fancy dining and expensive hotels.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Can I use US dollars at hotels and hostels in Thailand?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">No, you cannot unfortunately. You can only use Thai Baht (THB) which is the official currency in Thailand. If you end up being able to use US dollars in local markets, for example, it will be with a bad exchange rate in most cases.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Should I tip the staff in Thai hotels?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">It\u2019s not mandatory but is appreciated, of course. A tip of 20-40 Thai Baht is sufficient.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Can I book tours at the hotels and hostels in Thailand?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Yes, many hostels and hotels can connect you with different tour companies that can bring you for activities. Trying out local food for an evening in Bangkok, or go to shooting ranges or elephant sanctuaries in Chiang Mai are just a couple of examples of activities that you can attend.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Where should I stay in a hotel or hostel in Bangkok?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">If you\u2019re a backpacker, then staying close to Khao San road is a popular choice. It\u2019s a bar street with music and where many backpackers from around the world meet up. Staying close to Sukhumvit and stations like Asoke, Nana, Phrom Phong, Thong Lor, Ekkamai, Phra Khanong and On Nut should be of interest if you plan to stay in Airbnb, hostels or in hotels.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">How\u2019s the hotel breakfast like in Thailand?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">You can usually eat both Western food and Thai food, or other Asian food. If you go for a 4 star hotel, you\u2019ll be satisfied most of the times.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Can they speak English in hotels and hostels in Thailand?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Yes, most of the staff in the reception and at the hotel breakfasts speak English. However, you shouldn\u2019t take for granted that the cleaners speak English. When it comes to hostels, you\u2019ll often find young people working who are well versed in the English language.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"credits\">Photo Credits: Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/jetty-thailand-ocean-sea-resort-1807471\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">sasint<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/service\/license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Pixabay<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which portal is best for booking a hotel in Thailand?
