Is it possible to go on holiday to thailand this december/jan? how much do i need?

It is still possible to go to Thailand at that time, but you should know that December and early January is peak season in Thailand for tourism. You may find that flights & accommodation are more expensive then if you visited outside of this peak season. Your trip would be cheaper if you went at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb.

Im going then swell and just booking now!

You still have plenty of time. The most important thing is to find an affordable flights, everything else shouldn't even be booked in advance. When we went for our honey moon trip we had only tickets booked and http://tropicpic.com for make a photo shoot for us in Thailand, Samui. When we got there we found the beach we choose beforehand and went straight there to see the hotels we like. We went to Maenam and then moved to Silver beach. It was fantastic. I would choose January after the holidays, maybe the end of January, the weather will be better than December and there will be a little less people after the holidays are over. It is not a problem to find a nice hotel for $20-50, and you always find the rooms and get discounts! Thailand is amazing, we got great pictures of us on the beaches and lagoons, sun sets are marvelous! Give it a try! =) Hope it helps!

How about Koh Phangan? A beautiful island in the Gulf of Thailand. Every month there is a huge full moon party in Haad Rin with up to 30 000 people attending each time. For the rest, the island is quiet, relaxed and there are a few nice spots in the north of Koh Phangan where the eagles fly and the fishermen fish and not much else happens. For example Chaloklum or Haad Yao where you find beautiful tropical beaches, friendly people and cheap bungalows. And you're sure not too late for holidays in Thailand. Accommodation on Koh Phangan starts from about 300 Baht for a bungalow you can also find cheaper accommodation if you look around a bit. Food is very cheap and if you don't drink too much beer in the evening you won't need much money on Phangan. One more thing about accommodation in Thailand; You'll mostly get better prices on the reception of a resort than on the internet.

No it is not too late to book a plane ticket and also book your hotels. All of Thailand is nice and warm like summertime. Even Bangkok and Chiang Mai is warm and sunny enough to give you a tan. Close to Christmas or New Years holidays you may not be able to get your first choice for a fancy hotel but between now and then you should be able to get rooms for your holiday. Here are some travel forums you can also check with to verify my answer. For any hotel advice mention a price range so the suggestions you get match your budget. Read up on customs, currency (wait until you get to Thailand for best exchange rate,) scams, transportation, etc. Don't skip Bangkok and only see beaches. For backpacking many tourists head up to the Chiang Mai area. Some beaches are closer to Bangkok like Hua Hin and even Jomtien. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g293915-i3686-Thailand.html http://forum.virtualtourist.com/forum-1445238-1-Travel-Bangkok-1-forum.html http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forum.jspa?forumID=51 Unfortunately the time you want to visit Thailand is also the most expensive time of the year for hotel prices. Also, from many countries this is also the time of the year when plane tickets may be the most expensive too! How much do you need varies with each tourist. Plan a budget out and see how much you can afford for hotels and food and transportation, etc. and try to fit your holiday to your budget.
