Subject: Thailand/Phuket
Generally speaking you should be ok, but the weather has been strange world wide. The south is not my strong point but anything that you would need you can purchase cheaply there such as a rain poncho or umbrella. It is a hot climate so you don't need too much.

I needed a place right at the airport in BKK and didn't want to spend a fortune and got a room over the net. It was adequate for a night (which is all I needed) and cheap. I had no problems. I would suggest that you check to see if the site has an authorization # from the TAT (tourist authority of Thailand)and use a major credit card. Usually I just wing it when I get there.
