I’ve got to tell you, there are a lot of cheap ones that are not on hotel booking sites like Nasa Vegas Hotel in Bangkok, for example.. For Koh Samui, I recommend just showing up and finding one. It’s low season now and there will be tons of cheap places to stay that will do the job. Also, search here:

In Bangkok u can find decent hotels from US$ 10 upwards
I would recommend Sundays Sanctuary Resort & Spa
on Koh Samui. It’s only 22$ per night. You can see more details of this resort at http://www.r24.org/chiangmaitrip.biz/samui/sunday/ or you may see more choices at http://www.chiangmaitrip.biz/samuihotel/index.html
