What kind of standard of accommodation are you looking for? Hotel rooms, bed and breakfast? Short stay? Several weeks or more?

Hi,

It will be my first time in Thailand I will be visiting Thailand for four weeks. I want to visit many areas of Thailand such as Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui, Chian Mai, etc. I am looking for a clean room with A/C and a private washroom and bathroom. Nothing fancy. Just the North American basic.

Bulgakov,

The North American "basics" are not basic to most of the world. Try googling Guest Houses in each city or area. They are basic accommodations and cheap [usually] Some have photos. They come with A/C or just a fan. If on the top floor or southern exposure you'll probably want an A/C. Many good hotels in Thailand from the incredibly expensive to fairly cheap and basic.

If you're going to be in Thailand for just a month I'd suggest having 2-3 'bases' say Bangkok, Chiang Mai and another and do trips out from them - either to visit other regions or hill tribes. A month isn't much time but it should tell you whether you can acclimatize to the weather [hot and humid] and if you like the country, the people, the food and being able to navigate while not [my guess] knowing the language. You don't need to know Thai but it does help a bit. Still, most of us get by in English, French or German. Don't know about basic Canadian though.

Can I suggest that once you have found your rooms, you don't book them online. You will pay up to 5 times the price. Thailand is empty right now with tourism at an all time low, so all hotels have rooms. If you stay more than 3 nights, push their price down (by at least 20%).

When I used to visit I stayed with family in BKK (never go to Pattaya at night, so no experience there - King?) and in Chiang Mai I used Lai Thai (do a Google on Lai Thai Chiang Mai and you'll get it). It as a lit pool, covered out door restaurant, is central (on the moat by the wall), has aircon, sat TV, on suites, large beds, tours and bike hire and parking - they will also make a deal (rooms from 400B upwards - all now seem to have aircon, it used to be cheap rooms were fan only).

I always use 'sawasdee.com' when i book. It has pictures and rewievs.

Most people I know usually just book for a day or two, and then look around once there.
