Thailand is by far my favourite destination out of the 34 I've travelled to (so far) and these are some of my best recommendations for accommodation.
Little slice of heaven
Orchid Hotel and Spa Kalim Bay, Patong Beach (updated prices 2025)
An absolute gem of a find in a not so touristy place. The pool is fantastic and the location is perfect for sunset strolls on the beach on your way to eat delicious local Thai food.
Amari Bangsaen | Official Website
A fab location close to Khao San road with great transport links. My absolute go to when in Bangkok, close enough to Khao San road yet far enough to have peace and quiet (yes it is possible)
RAMBUTTRI VILLAGE INN & PLAZA - Updated 2025 Reviews, Photos & Prices
One of the best beachfront location's, absolutely perfect for couples or solo's
Palm Coco Mantra, Lamai (updated prices 2025)
Right in the heart of Khao San road, great hotel, just make sure you bring earplugs unless you're partying all night.
