Most of the deals are to Bangkok, Ko Samui, and Phuket, with a few rare options to Chiang Mai as well. Travel dates vary by route, but we’re seeing options from August through March on many departures.

Why Visit Thailand?

• Bangkok: A buzzing capital city filled with vibrant markets, ornate temples, incredible street food, and unforgettable river cruises.

• Phuket: White sand beaches, island hopping, and resort life in Thailand’s most famous beach destination.

• Chiang Mai: Surrounded by mountains and culture—perfect for temples, elephant sanctuaries, and a slower-paced vibe.

• Affordability: Once you’re there, daily costs are low—making it one of the best values in long-haul travel.

• Food: From spicy noodles to mango sticky rice, Thailand is a culinary paradise.

What’s the Weather Like?

• August–October: Warm and humid with occasional tropical rain. Highs in the 80s–90s. Lush and beautiful.

• November–February: Dry season in most regions. Comfortable highs in the 80s, cooler evenings. Best time to visit overall.

• March: Start of hot season. Highs often in the 90s but great for beach days and water-based adventures.

First-Timer’s Tips for Thailand

• Thai hospitality is legendary—expect friendly service and smiles everywhere.

• Bring light, breathable clothing. Many temples require shoulders and knees to be covered.

• Use local taxis or apps like Grab, and be ready to haggle in markets (politely).

• Bangkok is busy and electric; if you prefer peace, pair it with a few days in the north or on the islands.

• Don’t drink tap water—bottled water is cheap and available everywhere.

Plan Your Thailand Adventure

With flexible dates and roundtrip fares in the $700s–$900s, this sale offers a great chance to explore Thailand’s blend of ancient culture, tropical scenery, and street-level energy.
