Congratulations! You have chosen the right place and the right time for your ensuing vacation. I know - it’s just “Thailand”, the land of smiles. (The Thais have smiling face regardless of how or what you ask). If you’re a budget traveler, Thailand - simply can’t beat on price alone.

Needless to say, once you’ve chosen your vacation spot, this is the high time to look out for the Hotels and resorts in Thailand. Most of the hotels and resorts of Thailand are fun filled and aristocratic. You also get to stay in some of the Thailand’s most beautiful and luxurious tourist resorts, lodges and hotels at down-to-earth prices because cost of living in this land of Buddha is very low.

You ought to select the type of hotels and resorts depending upon the purpose of your visit. Most of the tourists that go to Thailand do so because it is the best golfing holiday destination in Asia. If you’re one among them, then select the hotels with cheerful atmosphere and a reasonable playing fee. The popular golf destinations with hotels present in Thailand are Rayong, Phuket, Pattaya, Yai, Khao, Kachanaburi, Hua Hin and Bangkok.

If you’re peeping into Thailand for sightseeing or for spending your vacation in beaches, then select the hotels and resorts present in the beaches. This will save your driving time to the beach. Even you can have a party in the beach that lasts all night. Beach lovers can visit the Thailand during the months of March to June as there is guaranteed ‘sun sun sun’ all day long day after day.

The popular beach resorts in Thailand are Lakhuna beach resort in Phuket, Thai House beach resort in Lamai Beach, etc. These popular beach resorts are available from 700 baht ($20) to 1,950 baht ($60) per night. Even you can get more luxurious resorts for 15,000 BT ($350) per day and hotels for 900 BT ($20) per day. These hotels and resorts offer perfect environment to relax. You also get real Thai hospitality, security, comfort and modern facilities that make you feel at home.

The popular hotels in the Thailand include Break Point Hotel (combination of New Zealand &Thai menu) on Thaweewong Road, Windsor Hotel on ‘Suk’ Soi 20, Ambassador Hotel on Sukhumvit, and the Rajah Hotel on ‘Suk’ Soi 4. (Price ranges from 1000 BT or $25 to 2400 baht, $60.00 per night)

Most of these hotels provide economical laundry (say 500 baht will give you laundry for 2 weeks), room service meals and one-hour therapeutic massage (400 baht or $9). Most of these hotels are made up of teak cabinets, furniture, doors and even floors. Check out their websites for more details on the hotels and resorts available throughout Thailand!

If you want to spend your holidays in the Thai Islands with lush tropical forests, white sands and blue seas, it is better to opt for the beach huts and Bungalows. You can fix these huts and houses for minimal amount of 10,000 bahts ($250) per month. This amount is nothing but one night cost at Club Med.

You can even do online booking on these hotels and resorts well ahead of your day of visit to Thailand. This will save money by providing you last minute discount service like Rates to go, or booking with a room wholesaler. A simple search in the Internet is sure to provide you that information.

As a matter of caution, I want to warn you that once you stepped into Thailand for your vacation, you won’t prefer to go back to your native land. Why don’t you take a break with the whole family and enjoy fun and sport activities in this land of elephants? Bon Voyage!
