Bangkok is one of the most visited cities in the world. So it follows that there are many different types of accommodation to suit all travelers.
In my case, I wanted to stay in a budget place, within walking distance to phaya thai station, the terminal station for the Suvarnabhumi airport train.
Diff hostel was my top choice in this case, as it is a 10-minute walk from the train station. at ~S$130 for a triple room for 2 nights, with complimentary breakfast and wifi, it is tough to beat.

Diff hostel is housed in a narrow building four stories high. Reception is on the ground floor, and the rooms are from the second storey onwards. There is only a unique, easy-to-operate elevator meant for luggages only. Everyone has to climb the stairs up. There is both an indoor and outdoor staircase, with views of the immediate surrounding.
The room itself consists of two decks. The lower deck has a single bed and the private bathroom.
A staircase leads up to the second deck
A mattress for two person, some space at the side for personal belongings, and a window with a view.
The reception area has a wall with a tour map of Bangkok
The breakfast area has limited seating, though it was never crowded for the days I was there.
Breakfast is served on a tray with unlimited coffee. Food offerings alternate between scrambled eggs and sunny-side up together with sausages. Toast is always served.
Diff hostel is an easy-to-access, small, but cozy accommodation for the budget conscious traveler. It definitely fulfills my travel needs.
