The beaches in Tai are mostly municipal. Where the land is actually bought by the hotel (there are such places, but they are few), the entrance to the beach costs a lot of money. For example Paradise Bay between Patong and Karon. Entrance to the beach 5 years ago (sunbed, table ...) cost 100 baht, now it costs 500! It's insanely expensive. Speaking of sunbeds. Now private firms are gradually "pushing through" to make it the way it was before. Previously, all sun loungers were private and inexpensive. From 50 baht. Then they were all removed! By order of the military. The fight against unearned income. Now officially up to 10 percent of the municipal beach can be rented by sunbed sellers. It actually does more. Hotels have their sunbeds by their own pools. But not at sea. And in private areas with their own beaches, everything is very expensive. And why do you need a "first line" with a 10-year-old child?

The concept of inexpensive and a hotel with its own beach in Thailand is incompatible, unless of course you go to rest on some island like Koh Chang, there you can find hotels located close to the beach. You will most likely go in the winter to Phuket, where there are clean beaches, and prices in the high season are not cheap there even in good 3 * and 4 * hotels. In Phuket and Pattaya, here is another feature: if there are hotels located in close proximity to the beach, then they are quite isolated from other infrastructure, pay attention to this, you will have to eat only in the hotel restaurant, it will cost more, usually in Thailand breakfasts are taken, a good hotel near a normal beach and cafes, night markets, a sunbed and an umbrella can be taken on the beach for an additional fee, which is not so problematic, there are beaches where you can hide in the shade of trees. It's hot there, the tides are low during the day, so it's unlikely that you will be on the beach all day, as in Turkey.

If in Pattaya you can still ride tuk tuks for 10 baht per person, then in Phuket tuk tuks work like taxis from 200 baht for travel between neighboring beaches to 500 -700 baht for travel to more distant beaches, so I advise you to stop for the first time on popular beaches: Karon, Kata, Kamala, Patong. In Patong, a noisier holiday, the sea is controversial in cleanliness, so I advise you to choose a hotel more carefully there. Take a look here:
Beyond Resort Kata 4 * is located on the 1st line of Kata Beach, not cheap, you can sunbathe on sunbeds by the pool and immediately go to the beach to swim.
Hotel KATA THANI PHUKET BEACH RESORT 5 * is located on Kata Noi beach, there is a cafe, on foot in 30 minutes you can walk to the Kata beach area.
There is a hotel in Pattaya with its own access to the beach with sun loungers and a small water park on the territory of Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya 5 *. See Reviews and Photos for these hotels at least on Turpravda, at least on other sources.

Waves are likely to be, but not fatal. All the bays and beaches that you are advised (Karon, Kata, Surin, Patong ....) are located on the western side. This is the open Andaman Sea, passing into the Indian Ocean. The wind, especially in the morning, is just from there. Closest to your date, we were in April. The waves were larger than they are in winter (in winter, as a rule, there are generally calm waves and there are no waves at all), but not such that it was impossible to swim. From a meter to one and a half. The water is surprisingly clear, despite the sand. We enjoyed swimming even more than in winter. Swinging on small, clean waves is very cool. If you absolutely dislike waves, look for a hotel on the east side of the island. It's much quieter there. We went there to the port and further on sea excursions (Krabi, Phi Phi.....). There were no waves at all.
