Can any recommend a place (preferably beach bungalow) that is right on the beach? I don't care which beach in Thailand as long as the water is clear and calm. It's almost June and we are already planning our trip for January. We will be there for two months so I am not too concerned if it is difficult to reach, as we will have plenty of time.

I would prefer a quieter kind of place as our 18-month old son will be with us. A pool would be great, but not a deal breaker. I would prefer to pay less than $50USD per night.

Any help is always appreciated.

any recommendations as to how to find such a place? We are traveling with our young son and I really don't want to just show up and look for something.

That is a great idea though. I never even thought of renting a house.

I did do a google search, but got nothing in the price range you quoted.

With that...also, don't bother to book a hotel ahead of time. When you land in a place, at the airport there is a book of the hotels in the area, you pick one and the taxi drops you off. Super easy.

sam roi yot is especially nice south of hua hin. long nearly empty beaches that are shallow and calm most of the year. dolphin bay resort is very kid friendly as well. i rented the orchid house which has a great salt water pool. it wasn't cheap but very very nice.
best thing is you can just hop in a taxi from bangkok airport or arrange a car to pick you up and deliver you to your place (2-3hrs) and of course you can stop whenever/wherever you like along the way. 2-3,000baht well worth it for the comfort of you and your family.

We visited Koh Chang last year and had great beach front accommodations, about $20 a night.

They were super basic but did have bathrooms. The beach was decent and not crowded at all. We saw several European families with children in the area during our visit.

I use it, my friends use it. Best place to find beach bungalows.

This place looks like a good deal. You would probably want to rent a motorbike to make the short drive to Nai Harn beach, but with that pool and price it's worth it. Also, plenty of resaturants and fresh seafood in Rawai.
