Well it's reasonable to say that you can stay first class in los for $100USD. My experience is that it can be a matter of overkill though. I've stayed at the Sofitel in BKK fir $136USD a night and while it is a top class hotel, the facilties were no more impressive that staying in a smaller boutique hotel for around $65USD a night.

This is beacuse the hotels is Thailand are unlike USA, OZ, Europe etc. 3 star hotels in LOS are often nicer than 4-star in many other countries. If you do your research you can find top-notch places right near the action, in as-new rooms, with everything you need. This is where the value of these forums are shown, you can get unbiased reviews and BM's experiences.
Personally, I would have a better holiday staying in a smaller, girl-friendly hotel, right near the action paying $65USD a night, than in a larger less girl-friendly hotel farther away from the action, that is indeed 5-star, but no more comfortable or convenient than a cheaper option.
Good luck with the search.
