9 Five Star Bangkok hotels under USD 91

With the perfect storm of the mild political unrest earlier this year, the outbreak of the H1N1 virus in some parts of the world and the low price of oil, airfares to Thailand and hotel prices are the lowest they have been in many years.

Just months after political demonstrations in the streets of Bangkok kept tourists away, the outbreak in Mexico of the H1N1 swine influenza virus has left many potential travelers jittery, especially after the SARS and avian flu outbreaks of a few years ago.

The political situation has since calmed down and the global media panic over the influenza virus- which turned out to be no more dangerous than the regular type of flu that millions of people contract every year- has subsided, however the tourism industry is still hurting.

Hotel occupancy rates are still very low and has pushed hotels to lower prices even further in an attempt to coax tourists to the country and this is great news for everyone, especially those looking for a little luxury. Bangkok is well known for the comparatively low price of their luxurious 5 Star hotels, however some of the current offerings are unprecedented.
