The question is - do you want to pay 1 THB on the IC site and risk getting nothing, or pay $2.50 on Travelocity and hope that by paynig their fees, their Guarantee will also kick in and cover the hotel for you.
It's almost academic anyway as Travelocity have made booking this fare very restrictive.

I like Travelocity. ICH already made deals with their recent screwed up Japan/China reservations.

I've never been to Thailand but May-October doesn't look that great weather-wise.

Still available...
Not booking this one myself. I'll be in Thailand in April. And while this is a great rate, a savings of ~ $100/night at the Holiday Inn isn't enough reason for me to make the trip. (If it was a deluxe villa at the Banyan Tree on the other hand...)

I think Travelocity is on to this: I booked a week in August, and went back thinking I should get another week, but now when I do a search I can't even get the hotel to come up.
I booked the following week on PriorityClub.com, as the .01 bhat rate still shows there (for now).
So now I have two weeks in August. I doubt they will honor it, so I'm not buying any airfare LOL...and don't know if I would anyway. But I couldn't *not* book a room for what amounts to $.18 for two weeks. You Flyertalkers have SOOOOOO corrupted me.
I certainly won't mind 2 weeks in Thailand if all works out, though!

If you click Hotel Name and click H, then it comes up, but it doesnt come up on the first screen even if you 'order by price'!
