Bangkok's first true B&B, the eight-room Old Bangkok Inn is run by a warm, well-traveled proprietress and her son, who guides guests to the hippie-chic nightlife along Khao San Road. There are four room types, each with its own charm: The bath products in Rice make the best souvenirs, Lemongrass comes with an enchanting tropical garden, Jasmine has painted murals, and Orchid a four-poster bed. Wi-Fi access, AC, and powerful showers in the bathrooms make travelers wonder if they've set foot in an urban myth of clean, charming, and affordable accommodations. Guests can augment the inexpensive room rate with a small contribution, matched by the hotel, to four worthy charities.
When to go: July and August, when tropical fruits such as mangosteen are plentiful.
Which room to book: Hanging oil lamps and rose-colored walls add to Orchid's romantic ambience (doubles, $103–$129).
