A flashier version of a backpacker who keeps costs down by taking trains and group carriers, but spends a little more dough by staying at single room hostles with more amenities. Flat screen TV? Check. Wireless internet? Check. Private bathroom? Oh yeah.
Feeling a little flashpacker-ish yourself? Try out the Lub.d Hostel in Bangkok. They offer several private rooms with rates starting at $40 bucks a night.
