Thailand has been a popular destination for Australians for many years. This is not surprising given the great value for money and the variety of tourist attractions on offer. Planning a cheap vacation can be as easy as opening the weekend papers. We’ll see dozens of vacation package deals advertised each week. Combine these offers with the right travel insurance and you have the perfect package.
Hotel deals in Thailand can change from week to week, but there are some consistently good packages on offer that we’ll cover here. You should always check with your travel agent to make sure offers are still valid and to make sure special conditions don’t get in the way of your plans.
So instead of searching for individual hotels, we’ll pick five regions or cities that consistently offer the best options.
Bangkok. Most reviews of the Lebua at State Tower consistently state that this is one of the best quality hotels in Bangkok, with excellent facilities and good value for money. Rising 59 stories high, the views are simply amazing and the rooftop bar is a special feature. This hotel is always worth a visit.
Bangkok. Another hotel that deserves your attention is the Centara Grand at Centralworld. Past guests are simply in love with this hotel and rate it fantastic. Be sure to check it out.
Phuket. The Woraburi Phuket Resort and Spa is a popular hotel in Phuket, for which visitors have only the highest praise, especially from the staff. Many past visitors advise you to request a pool access room that has stunning views and easy access to the swimming facilities. You won’t have to worry about making a vacation insurance claim while staying here!
Phuket. The Deevana Patong Resort & Spa in Patong Beach is often rated absolutely perfect and excellent value for money. The only advice that seems worth mentioning is to avoid the rooms at the back of the resort and, if you can afford it, upgrade to a deluxe room with a private spa. It costs just a little more and is worth it.
Koh Samui. The Paradise Boutique Resort and Spa is one of the highest rated hotels in this region. It has beautiful bungalows overlooking stunning white sand beaches and has been rated the best value for money resort in Thailand. This is a high praise as the complex lives up to this expectation.
Pattaya. The Mariott Resorts and Spa is possibly one of the most popular and famous hotels in Thailand. It is not exactly budget accommodation, in fact it has been said that prices are a bit high, but it still retains the image of a tropical paradise that welcomes visitors in its quiet oasis.
Thailand is a world-class tourist destination with hundreds of excellent hotels to choose from. No matter what your budget or individual requirements, you’re sure to find a hollow package to meet your needs.
