No Cali, 300-400 baht to me is cheap, I was thinking of around the 1000 mark.

Its only for one night, have a 0930 flight.

Thank you one and all for the informative info, it has given me some good alternatives.

Get yourself a sleeping tablet and go down to the Swamp on the bus, did it last time 500 ish baht and arrived at 5.10 am.

Get some Durian biscuits and open the packet as you are about to leave the bus, or just leave an open packet on the bus!
