Hi Robert,
I can confirm that camping sites in Thailand other than National Parks are very rare - the problem with National Parks is the cost of entry, between 200 and 400 baht per person, plus camping fees. Whilst travelling between Bangkok and Malaysia you should head for costal roads away from big towns and you will be able to park on waste land or beach side quite safely.
As for a hotel in Bangkok, it depends on your budget, but I would advise staying on the outskirts but close to either the skytrain or the underground. One recommendation would be the Ibis Riverside, it has a big enough car park, is easy to find on the south side of the river, near the skytrain, with easy access to the south of Thailand. Most guest houses I know in Bangkok do not have parking.
When you leave Bangkok if you would like to stay in Hua Hin [250Kms south of Bangkok] get in touch, we have parking space and your welcome to use our shower, washing machine etc.
Enjoy the LOS
Joyce & Mark
