Where to Stay in Thailand by Travel Style
Plan Your Thailand Trip
Before you travel, these are the companies I personally recommend using when planning a trip around Thailand.
Hotels & Accommodation
I've used Trip.com throughout Thailand and regularly compare prices when booking hotels. It's one of the easiest ways to find everything from budget hostels and boutique hotels to luxury beachfront resorts.
Ferries, Buses & Transport
Getting around Thailand is easier than ever, but booking ferries, buses, trains, and transfers can sometimes be confusing. I use 12Go to compare routes and book transport between destinations such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Phangan.
Tours & Activities
Whether you're looking for island-hopping trips, snorkelling tours, cooking classes, temple visits, or day trips, GetYourGuide offers a huge selection of activities across Thailand.
Shop My Recommended Travel Gear
I've put together a collection of travel products that I personally recommend for Thailand. Whether you're backpacking, staying in resorts, island hopping, or working remotely, these are items that can help make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.
Why I Recommend These Companies
I've travelled around Thailand for the last few years and these are the companies I personally use when booking hotels, transport, tours, and travel essentials. I only recommend services that I've either used myself or would genuinely be happy to recommend to friends and family visiting Thailand. Using these links helps support the website at no extra cost to you and allows me to continue creating free Thailand travel guides.
