There are literally 1000’s of places to stay in Thailand – loads of different options to suit all budgets and tastes. But rather than stay in a mainstream resort, why not try a different (less touristy) region like Krabi (the exquisite Rayavadee), Khao Lak (an imagineered holiday at The Sarojin perhaps) or Hua Hin (The Colonial style Centara Grand Beach Resort)? Or stay in the popular spots like Phuket and Koh Samui but stay in resorts that are out of the way a little (Sala Phuket) or quirky (the Library, Koh Samui) or ultra modern (Aleenta Phuket) or traditional Thai (Zeavola).
