The good old days pre-covid. 9 euro per night exceptionally clean and quiet room in Nonthaburi (northern suburbs of Bangkok). At this time a Mainland Chinese visa cost around 150 euro, but a roundtrip flight between Shanghai and Bangkok only cost 90 euro. So making a visa run to Thailand was cheap, fun, and easy.
