How much travel time is too much for a weekend hotel escape in Thailand?

For a short break, door-to-door travel time can matter more than an impressive facilities list. Guests should calculate the real journey from home or the airport, including traffic, ferry waits, transfers and the hotel's check-in time. With only one or two useful days, a remote property may consume too much of the trip even if the room rate looks attractive. Around Thailand, a slightly simpler hotel with easy arrival, nearby meals and flexible check-out can deliver a better weekend than a resort that requires complicated travel at both ends.
