I Want A List Of All Hotels In Thailand


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm doing a marketing campaign which targets hotels and guesthouses in Thailand. Does anyone know where I can obtain/buy a comprehensive database mailing list of Thai hotels and guesthouses?

I guess TAT has such a list (??), but I'm sure they won't provide it to me :o

All the hard-copy hotel directories that I have sen are very incomplete.

Basically, the more hotels on my database the better - so any suggestions how to maximise this are most welcome!

All the information that you require is on the Internet so if you don't want to do it yourself, hire someone to compile a list!!

Years ago the TAT used to provide regional booklets listing accommodations in those regions. I don't know if they still provide them or not. The listings covered 5-star hotels to budget classed guesthouses. However, they did not list EVERY hotel, and prices and general information were usually out-of-date. Sometimes places were shown listed that no longer existed. Also, I think most, if not all, locations were members of sorts with the TAT.

You might try looking at this website. Near the bottom of the page you'll see "Thailand Accommodations by Destination". Click on a city or area listed. For example, they list 128 places for Bangkok. You can sort accommodations by "Most Popular", "Lowest Price", etc., and can click on the hotel for a bit more info or to send a message to the hotel.

In my opinion, these listings are only guides to selected hotels, and I'm sure don't list every hotel. I don't know if the Miami Hotel off Sukhumvit Road is still standing or not, but if it is, it's not listed. Other accommodations located on Soi 8 don't seem to be listed either.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'd suggest using the links others have provided here, and do some web searches for accommodations in certain areas. In the past, I've found a few unlisted places from friends. Also, you should find various Thailand-related forums, including TV, with posts about various hotels, guesthouses, etc., as well as from some of the popular travel guides. But as you noted, I think you'll find most, if not all, hard copy or website listings are indeed "incomplete".

Of course the major travel websites list many Thai hotels. Bu that's not I want. I don't want to reinvent the wheel by compiling my own list (unless absolutely necessary). I'd rather use a list-broker service. anyway, I've PMed the guy who is offering a database of hotels and I'll see what he has to say.

My hotel is already an affiliate with Agoda, Wotif, ratestoGo etc. I'm pretty sure that Agoda will not give me a database of Thai hotels (postal address, email address, general manager's name etc) that I can go and market to directly :o.

a simple list of Thai hotels is not what I'm after.

ok, but no great help to me...

No hotel email address

no details of GM

No idea when this data was last updated

:o

What I'm after is to purchase a list compiled by a list broker or similar, ie - with the relevant data and in a suitable format for mailshots.
