If you are on a budget, the White Lodge is among the cheapest of the options on Soi Kasem San 1, but the old adage you get what you pay for holds oh so true. The rooms here, small and often quite cramped, are clean and functional that s about as generous as we can be. At least there is a decent pizza joint nextdoor so you don t need to spend too long camped inside. The staff swing between friendly and approachable through to curt and harried perhaps the cramped up reception area has something to do with this.
