Frankly, I like the sites that are more like review sites that let you see what a specific hotel is really like, but they also have an area where you can search for hotels and resorts as well. ... This way you won't have to go to 10 different sites online to look for reviews, locations, schedules, prices, etc. You can find everything you need on these sites AND you can book your room. A lot of these hotels are absolutely beautiful so take your time and see which ones ...
Thailand Beaches
Thailand's beaches are well established, have warm water and weather,friendly relaxed people, comfortable accommodation and they're cheap Around $30/£20 a day should get you an excellent double room with aircon, breakfast and maybe even a swimming pool- incredibly cheap when compared to the Caribbean, Indian Ocean or Pacific island paradises.
These beaches do have a clear best/worst time to visit - see Thailand Beaches Information to help you there. They also have less apparent regional flaws that you can see exposed in the different sections of the Beach Pictures gallery.
However, Thailand's roads are generally excellent and transport is comfortable and reliable, so a flight to Bangkok - and anyone with a grain of world curiosity has to see this wacky city - followed by a bus/minibus to the beach of your choice is no hardship.
