    I think you should have a look in Google keyword planner or wordtracker and compare the search volume and competition and then decide on which ever is the best

    Search for "top beaches in michigan" for example, my result show top 4 websites that have "best" in their title,
    so it is not the title, it is the content that matters, I think google already know in what context top means best, and shows what they believe the user search for.

    I think you should go, with one of them and use the other in some paragraph, if you want to be sure you target both of them.

      I would say, use both keywords. Your search returned results with "best" in them because "top" and "best" are synonyms.

    "Best beaches in Thailand" is the winner.

    It's searched for about 940 times a month and has low competition. Go for it. The other ones are no-where near as valuable.

    The quality of the content itself is infinitely more important. But the answer to your question is, "Best."

    On the whole, you get what you pay for.

    Use both keywords (top, best) because they'll both most likely show up on the first page at the same time regardless which one you target.

    Here's some related info.

    You have mention good keywords. But in my opinion "Best beaches in Thailand" is better.
