I have done 14 day ASQ 2 times in Bangkok and done sandbox twice. Cheap is definitely not good!! I paid for a decent hotel and was able to sit by the swimming pool all day long after day 3. This would never happen at a cheap hotel.
why? Because you want a good room for 14 days, you want a comfy bed, Tv with decent channels, fridge, microwave etc… if you go cheap you get non of these.
