TARA Bangkok Riverside Review 2026: The Best Budget Hotel ? ( re branded from GLOW Hotel )

Is this the best budget hotel in Bangkok for 2026? I found a hidden gem on the Chao Phraya River that offers luxury views for just $40/night. In this video, I’m staying at the TARA Bangkok Riverside, a quiet sanctuary in the Dusit district perfect for couples and digital nomads. Most riverside hotels cost a fortune, but this spot offers a stunning infinity pool, brand-new rooms, and solid 45Mbps WiFi for a fraction of the price. I’ll show you the full room tour, the gym, the breakfast, and the honest pros and cons (watch out for the mosquitoes!). 🏨 Hotel Details: Name: TARA Bangkok Riverside Location: Dusit District, Bangkok Price Paid: ~1,400 THB ($40 USD) ( Special Online Deal ) In this video, I cover: Real internet speed tests for remote workers The "Bum Gun" & Shower pressure test Why this location is a "Total Secret" vs. the busy Sukhumvit area How to avoid Tuk-Tuk scams nearby Local Mall in Dusit District:    • Is This Small Bangkok Mall Worth Visiting?...   Staying in Pattaya?
