Well, each to their own. As long as you're happy with what you pay. I've never found a hotel that offers the cheapest rate itself though. If most of them did, all the sites people have listed above would be out of business.

I still think the most hotel websites offer best rates. As a matter of fact they even guarantee you of best rates and if you're able to find cheaper rates elsewhere, they'd not only match that but give you a day (I think) stay for free at their hotel.

Amari (Watergate in BKK and Coralbeach in PHUKET) property is one good example, they have even listed customer claims on their website and investigation progress.

Anyhow, I hope Sam Ananth's query is resolved. Dude least you could do is try looking up on these websites that match your requirements.

i would recommend Novotel Siam Square if you go to Bangkok. The place is in the centre and walking distance to nearest BTS.

Rayzz - most hotels definitely do not offer the best rates through their own website. It's nearly always cheaper to go through another website.

a couple for the list;

www.expedia.com

www.travelocity.com

I've used www.latestays.com a lot of times, never had any problems with them and you can get instant confirmation.

I once stayed in Hong Kong, booking online. I had to return to the same hotel unexpectedly a week later. Their wlak in rate was almost double, however they suggested booking online. We went to the hotel's own internet cafe and made the booking from there and saved a fortune!

Anything else you'd like me to Google for you? ;o)

Use the above sites or Asia Web Direct website (search on Google) to find our info on the hotel you would like to stay at. These sites usually have a great line up of hotels and their basic rates with facilities available including their pictures.

Once you have identified the hotel you would like to stay in, search for the hotel name on google and book the rooms from the hotel website. Majority of hotels offer best rates available in the market thru their own website. Makes sense as they save on commission or brokerage charges from third party websites.

If you reserve online to a recognized site then it is perferctly safe. I've done this for over 10 years without any problems. Thailand is very safe

I book all my hotels on line and have for the last 10 years without problem. Just go to a reputable site:

http://www.asiarooms.com/

www.booking.com

These are 2 I use regularly.

Make sure that when you enter credit card details the site name starts with https://
