Hotels in Thailand: How to Find the Perfect Place to Stay
Planning your next trip to Thailand? Whether you’re after beachfront resorts, chic city stays, or budget-friendly rooms, you’ll find the best hotel options with Enjoy Travel.
Why Visit Thailand?
With just under 40 million international visitors, Thailand ranked as the 8th-most visited country in the world in 2024. And when you take a look at this Southeast Asian gem of a country, it’s easy to see why so many travelers love this country. Known affectionately as ‘the Land of Smiles’ thanks to the friendly locals, Thailand is a popular holiday destination not just for Canadians, but for tourists from all over the world who flock to the country for its pristine beaches, winter sun, tropical vibes, spiritual guidance and more.
The best time of year to visit Thailand is generally from November to April, which is when the country experiences its dry season (November to February) and its hot season (February to early May), making it the ideal location for some winter sun.
Best Hotels in Thailand for Every Traveler
Being such a large country, there are thousands of hotels to choose from, suitable for all types of travelers.
Luxury: While there are luxury hotels dotted throughout most of Thailand’s major cities, for the ultimate luxury experience, try a beachfront luxury hotel in Koh Samui, such as The Ritz-Carlton or The Four Seasons Resort. Similarly, the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok is not just luxurious, but an iconic, world-famous hotel.
Boutique: Aesthetically pleasing hotels are some of the nicest to stay in, and boutique hotels in Thailand are no exception. Some of the best include The Sarojin (Phang Nga), Zazen Boutique Resort and Silvadee Resort (all in Koh Samui).
Family-Friendly: If you’re travelling to Thailand with your family, then we highly recommend hotels such as The Marriott Resort & Spa (Phuket), Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort (Pattaya) and Anantara Riverside Resort (Bangkok).
Budget: It’s no secret that Thailand is a cheap country to visit, and as such, many of the hotel offerings fall into the budget category. However, if you’re really looking for a budget stay (under CAD $50 per night), then we can highly recommend Puk’s Palace (Koh Samui – CAD $20 per night), Rock View Terrace (Phi Phi Islands – CAD $20 per night) and Had Yao Sea View (Trang – CAD $31 per night).
How to Find Great Hotel Deals in Thailand
Booking early is one of the best ways to find great hotel deals in Thailand – we recommend booking at least one to two months in advance. While May to October is the rainy season, if you don’t mind the weather, booking during this off-season can save you hundreds on your visit to Thailand. Make sure to compare any deals you find on Enjoy Travel to secure the very best deals.
Choosing The Perfect Hotel in Thailand
Because of Thailand’s size, there are numerous different areas which offer different amenities, activities, and even climate – for example, Koh Samui is much warmer and drier than Chiang Mai in the north. Therefore, choosing the perfect hotel in Thailand can be an overwhelming experience for inexperienced travelers, but that’s where we come in to help you.
Beach Holidays: If you’re searching for a beach holiday, focus on areas such as Krabi, Koh Samui, the Phi Phi Islands or Phuket, known for their luxury beachfront hotels and affordable hostels for those on a budget.
City Breaks: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Krabi are all excellent locations for city breaks, and all have excellent public transport links – from international airports connecting Thailand to the rest of the world, to tuk-tuks offering a novel way to travel through bustling city streets. Of course, huge markets are also a big attraction of these areas.
Remote Escapes: Khao Sok is known for its jungle vibes, perfect for a romantic, quiet getaway. Similarly, lesser-visited islands such as Koh Yao Noi, Koh Kood and Koh Phayam offer much quieter, more laidback escapes.
Must-See Attractions in Thailand
Wat Arun: Also known as The Temple of Dawn, this huge Buddhist complex, dating back to the 17th century, can be found on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok.
The Big Buddha: At 45m tall and 25m wide, this is one of the biggest Buddha statues in the world. It can be found on the island of Phuket and offers commanding views over Chalong Bay.
Phang Nga Bay: Dotted with limestone karsts, Phang Nga Bay is one of the most unique and most photographed areas in Thailand. ‘James Bond Island’ can also be found here: the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun was largely filmed in this area.
Nightlife and Entertainment in Thailand
If you’re visiting Thailand for the nightlife, then you won’t be disappointed. Bangkok has some of the best nightlife in the country, with its rooftop bars and nightclubs often open seven days a week and until the early hours of the morning.
Similarly, Pattaya is sometimes referred to as the Party Capital of Thailand, and with its beachfront bars, nightclubs and scenic evening spots dominating the views, it’s easy to see why this is the case.
If you’re looking for party island vibes, then Phuket is the place to be – specifically Patong Beach. This is where to enjoy island vibes, including beach parties until the early hours. Neighbouring Karon Beach offers a quieter nighttime experience, with stunning sunset views over the Andaman Sea, with plenty of bars offering live music as entertainment rather than a focus on nightclubs.
Travel Tips for Thailand
Tipping culture in Thailand is not as prominent as it is in the US or Canada, but tips are nevertheless appreciated, especially in the service industry in tourist-heavy areas. 10% is the common amount, although it is not mandatory to tip.
Local customs include limiting public displays of affection, giving and receiving gifts with your right hand, and showing respect for anyone older than yourself, often with a bow of the head in conversation. You should always take your shoes off before entering a temple or somebody’s home.
The currency used in Thailand is the Thai Baht (THB), and CAD $1 is equal to around 23 THB. The economy is still very much cash-focused throughout Thailand, so we recommend bringing cash as spending money rather than relying on card payments.
Plan Your Stay in Thailand
Whether you’re searching for a romantic getaway, a new travel experience or a luxury beach holiday, Thailand is full of wonders and surprises, and it’s no wonder that so many people visit the Land of Smiles every year. Good weather, friendly locals, and beautiful scenery are all part of the package when visiting Thailand. For the very best deals on hotels and for fair comparison prices, make sure to book your Thai escape through Enjoy Travel.
