first again this: yes, since eternal times they use BAHT in Thaild-and you did not even take the tiny trouble to say what type of that $ was meant. Some people think thats close to imperialism of that side.
You make the same mistake as som many who believe that all things are on the web: they are not, certaily not in Thaild. Were those 150 bt shacks bookable on the web? They still are not-though most likely they cost a few baht more now too. A simple bekpek aimed travel guidebook like lonelyplanet or so has the info. or travellers fora aimed at those people, again LP/thorntree, or travelfish etc. Bypass the midclass sites for anxious people, like TA=tripadvisor or fodors. Able to read other languages? in that case a whealth of info will open, on French or german same-style fora.
In short: as this forum is so dedicated as its name says, most of these places are of the BYOB=bring your own boy type. But the lesser known, and thus more away from creature comforts like airports, AC- buses and regular big ferries, will have what you want-though seaside prices are very much seasonal. Koh=island, and Lipe, PangAn and even lesser knwon parts of Samui will still offer what U want-though 2-300 bt. seems to be the absolute minmum for a bamboo hut, perhaps even no electric, shower outside and no beachside. Most of those places have an enormous variety of rooms/huts to choose from. The beach itself is always free in Thaild, only the walk to there is longer.
If a nearby suplly of rental boys is wanted-then one cannot beat Pattaya-ample rooms, bare but with AC and a small fridge and maybe even a Thai TV-from 3/400/nt-again some distance away from beach.
