Today I will talk about the hostel in Hong Kong.
There are no backpacker like in western countries in HK.
There are only hostel (which does not look like hostel) in HK that is cheap but TINY!!
If you are westerner (who are usually bigger than Asian), you should go to see the room before make any decision.
For me, it was ok. The room is tiny but I used it just for sleep and took shower.
The toilet and shower is together. It's normal for Asia but this hostel that I stayed. The toilet is sooooooooooo small. They have free liquid soap for every room. You can also ask for free towel as well.
Hong Kong is a small island that every Sq.m. in city are worth like gold. Even you stay in nice hotel, you won't get big room like what you get in US, Australia or etc where the land is much bigger.
Ho Mongkok Hotel (They call hotel but it does not look like hotel at all!! haha) is located in Mongkok, the center of HK and close to everything you want!! It's really good location.
I stayed in this hostel because my HK friend booked for me. I know it's not helpful to you guys who don't have anyone in HK. But hey, they have website and I think you can call or contact them by email (website is at the end).
If you can't speak Cantonese chinese, I suggest you to email because their staff can speak only hello, thank you, good morning hahahaha.
Ho Mongkok Hotel is located in Sincere building where there are many hostel in it. If you don't like this one I suggest here. You can go up and down the building and check for other places.
My suggestion is don't expect much from the small amount of money that you pay :)

Somehow I can't copy picture from the website so I will suggest like this.
- The first pic with 2 beds..I think it's room number 2. It's bigger than other room and has window!! So if you are two person. You should request for room number 1 and 2. ;)
- Next 3 pics are double bed rooms...The bed is small, just right fit for 2 person. If you have big luggages, you might have problem as there is no space to walk in the room haha.
- The lady in the website is always be there for daytime. She doesn't understand much English but you can use body language with her. It's fun! hehe

Flight from Bangkok, Thailand to Hong Kong
Happy New Year everyone!!!!
Wish you have all the best and travel as much as you can ^_^
I went to Hong Kong and Macau for 5 days on new year holiday.
It wasn't my first time but I rarely remember things from the past lol as I went there like almost 10 years ago.
I bought ticket too late so I paid a lot for the trip esp. it was high season ticket!!
At first I tried low cost airline like airasia but the schedule and price were not that good for me.
Then I found the price that less than 10,000 baht from Thai agency website (http://www.hflight.net/).
It was Royal Jordanian airline. I had never heard of this airline before back then.
I searched for some reviews of this airline and people said it's ok so I bought it.
Also it was only 2.5hours flight. So I didn't care much about the plane.
The flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong doesn't operate every day (the one I took was leaving from BKK on Thursday's afternoon and left Hong Kong on Tuesday's night)
The plane was nice, clean and no smell.
The flight attendants were not that pretty and friendly lol
I heard they spoke Thai to each other while serving food and I think it's bad behavior.
Maybe they thought that I wasn't Thais and
noone around that area would understand the language.
That's the point they should change with the flight attendants.
The seat was big and everyone had own tv with variety of movies, games, songs etc.
Food was not bad. I had green chicken curry + rice (trip to HK) and
Fish noodle (Lad nah) on trip to BKK.
In conclude, RJ is not a bad choice to fly to HK if you can't find any cheaper airline ;)
