I'm not sure what you mean by top-end hotels, but in Bangkok you can get a
room with in-room broadband for about US$40 and up. You will need to book
through a travel agent in Asia (e.g., www.asiahotels.com) to get that kind
of price.
Otherwise, there is a growiing number of wifi hotspots in the larger cities.
I have used dialup from hotels on occasion in Thailand and it has worked
fine, but of course it is slow and you are paying by the minute.
