Many hotels can do 'internet' via dial up.. Scratch cards for dial up use are very cheap here (say 5 USd for 14 days unlimited) and easy to buy.. Having an IDD phone in the room and it not being a digital PABX makes this ok..

If you mean wireless or real network ports with broadband the pickings get a lot slimmer.. I am assuming some do but I am not up on them..

Another option is to get a GPRS phone and use laptop + mobile.. I think GPRS was 1 baht per min last time I checked and while not fast or that reliable (need to reset reconnect every so often) its ok for email and basics..

Also even with the best kind of connections expect downtime.. Thailand simply does not seem able to maintain a reliable connection with good uptime.. Swamped DNS servers, slow proxies, etc all are a pain in the ass..
