Im sharing a dorm with a few douchebag hippy crowd to save money and i over heard a whining voice in the back ground whilst drying my self after a once a day bucket shower bout how im wasting water by showering .........

Hippy douchebag backpackers are always on about them selfs and how many places they have been and how they are just soooooo.......

fuck dorms in south east asia(or anywhere really)
tbh POD Hostel in Bangkok near the victory monument is alright and probably have the best dorms ive seen, but your paying 400 baht for the privilege, 550 for a private single room, just an aircon room with a bed, stupidly overpriced, but its aimed at the more richer asian market not the hippy backpackers, plus its right next to the victory monument (minivans to anywhere/BTS)

i always stay in Private rooms, i need my own space, prefer guesthouses to hotels and its alright when you get regular places and know the owners and can get discount, im only paying $7 a night for my place in PP atm in high season....
dorms.... *shudders*

When it rains, no soap required...

Dorms in asia!?! Really no offence, but fuck mate, scrounge a couple more dollars together and get a fnckin' room. Even when I was backpacking in SA and Asia in my late teens I could afford a private room.

I've never understood the dorm mentality. Literally a couple more dollars for some privacy

The dorm in kl.

Not cambodia

agreed

Sure, in places like Asia, where a single room is so cheap, it don't make sense. But in Europe sometimes you might just have to do dorms. Think Amsterdam for example, they've always been doing dorms. You can meet cool dudes and have fun with people you meet...but yea, if a single room is damn cheap, why choose a dorm, especially when it's so frikkin touristy in Thailand and impossible NOT to meet other travellers.

Whereas, in Amsterdam, a single person might just START off meeting another person in a hostel, as in a dorm friend, etc.

Dorms are boring as fuck , specially in south east asia , might get a charactor here and there but mostly closet feminist lesbos with half there head shaved and a mans face on a womens body with elephant pants and permanent frown.
