Not sure if that is a function of the website or the location of the hotel.

For instance when I booked a hotel in Thailand with asiatravel.com

the entire cost was charged when booking, but when using the same site for

a hotel in Malaysia I was advised to pay the hotel desk at the end of my stay.

Not sure why it works that way.

If you only want it for one night then just pay for one night, decide with the hotel later if you want a different deal with them.

Its to do with the relationship between the internet company and the hotel, in general if you pay for the full stay upfront you can get better rates, but often cancellations are more expensive.

Depending what type of accomodation you are looking for. For example www.hostels.com will just charge you a deposit of 10% upon your booking and you need to pay the rest upon arrival or departure.

But if you want to go for normal hotels, try to make the effort to find out the contact details of the hotel itself. Once you book with them directly, either by phone or by email, most of them do not require a deposit or they will just ask you for a credit card as a guarantee but do not charge it. (just in case you dont arrive they might charge a penalty). Some of the hotels might even offer you cheaper rates once you contact them directly or they will match the price you've seen on the net because like this they save the commission (at least 10%) for the intermediate...

Enjoy travelling to/in Thailand,

Odd - they ask for a credit card to secure reservation, but never been charged anything until I check out of said hotel.

There's links to local hotels at the top of all the local forums.

Go straight to the hotel website.

Try this one.

Hotel Bookings Link

Don't use hotels.com

I used them for a booking in florida. Reservation was paid for but never made with the hotel. The clerk at the front desk told me they regularly have screw ups from online booking.

I even called to confirm my booking and it still got lost.

Bookings Thailand

Smooth as you like!

i can recommend http://www.hotels2thailand.com and http://www.sawasdee.com

Both are very reliable and trustworthy, great service

asiatravel.com - I highly recommend them!

I did consider the same place once I planned a trip to KL. Stayed somewhere else in the end but how did you like it there? (might be slightly off topic)
