See the Modern Living Hotel in Patong. The beach is across the street, although it is better to go swimming to neighboring beaches. A bunch of cafes within walking distance. Bangla is a 5-minute walk away. Modest rooms from 800 baht per day were in high season, rooms with a bass and a jacuzzi were about 2000 baht. As an option, you can check in there for the first days, and then take a moped and drive around the places to see what is better or cheaper where. It is also better to look at cars on the spot. It is unlikely that anyone will make a reservation for you in advance without a passport or deposit.
