You'll find a variety of accommodation on Phuket and Samui to suit all
budgets. I've been to both and loved them but they are very touristy.

Is an accomodation budget of an average of 750 baht reasonable? I'm

Where in Thailand? You won't be sleeping with cockroaches in Bangkok for
that. Many places on the mainland are cheaper than Bangkok, some islands
are
more expensive though.

Thanks. We plan to start in Bangkok, then up to Chaing Mai (sp) then
down to the islands. We'll be avoiding Phuket and Ko Samui for sure
(I hear they are upmarket).
