Do you think it will be better to book something from now if planning to be there around 12/13 of April..just before songkra?? or we won't have a problem finding something when we go there? what about prices? better through the web or to negotiate the time you arrive there..last year in phuket i found out that there are places that you can get good deals even without having booked earlier..on the other hand maybe it's too much of a hassle to go there and search around for rooms...I definetely don't want end up in a shithole..or paying more than my plan ( max 1000..the less in room the more in TGs!

) what do you think? any previous experiences from there? keep in mind we will be going mid April (12/13) and we need separate rooms of course (4)..anyone there to tell me from the field news..?
thanks!
