Go Thailand Tours

Here at Go Thailand Tours, we have two passions – Thailand and travel – and over the last 35 years, we have put our all into making sure that our knowledge, expertise and partnerships create extraordinary experiences for travelers to Thailand.

And while each journey is individual and carefully curated to suit your desires – they have one thing in common; they are all delivered with passion, integrity, sensitivity, style and with the environment and local communities in mind.

We believe that travel is one of life’s greatest privileges. With a vast knowledge of Thailand at our fingertips, we specialize in tailor-made experiences based around exactly what’s important to you. We ensure that you experience Thailand on your terms – this is your trip, your way!

Tailored Made Experiences

Every traveler is different, so it makes sense that each trip should be different. We use our insider knowledge to craft beautifully planned journeys throughout the kingdom. 

Your time is precious so we will make sure that each journey is planned with thoughtfulness, care and attention to detail to ensure every moment counts. Over the years, we’ve brought together a team of professional design consultants – and these are the people who’ll plan your trip, from the small details to the most extravagant. When it comes to your dream holiday, the reassurance of first-hand knowledge and on-the-ground support is essential.

Our bespoke itineraries include the must-see elements of each destination along with authentic, hidden gems so you can discover the true essence of Thailand. Whether it’s mastering the skill of cooking a sensational Pad Thai, bonding with elephants as a mahout, meditating alongside monks in a peaceful pagoda or eating freshly cooked fish on a powder-soft beach – nothing is beyond our imagination and expertise.

The land of endless opportunities

It is not only the friendliness of the ‘Land of Smiles’ that has made Thailand such a popular destination. The vast choice of hotels, diversity of destinations and value for money attract families, solo travelers, adventurers, wellness seekers and beach lovers of all budgets – time and time again.

The coastlines of the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea offer sparkling seas, silken sands and secluded islands. Dive beneath the azure waters and swim alongside exotic fish, sharks and even the occasional dugong. The northern regions are home to rugged mountain ranges, emerald rice paddies and colorful ethnic villages. National parks boasts thunderous waterfalls and rushing rivers where wild elephants come to bathe. Bustling Bangkok with its shimmering skyscrapers and decadent nightlife is a world away from laid-back Chiang Mai where monks collect alms outside ancient temples.

And let’s not forget the food – whether sampled from a steaming street food stall or relished in a Michelin-listed restaurant, be prepared for zingy flavors and spicy chilies. This entire country will leave you with a taste for more.

Thailand Tours & Vacations

Thailand is an idyllic paradise, where jungle-covered karsts plunge into aquamarine waters and the sand is sugar white.

But no matter how clichéd the fantasy, Thailand delivers in spades. The water around Krabi and Ko Tao really is that deep, cool shade of blue. Phi Phi’s limestone karsts really do look like some alien world. And the food? Let’s just say your local Pad Thai has nothing on Chiang Mai’s street stalls or the floating markets of Amphawa, where little old ladies do things with fish sauce and chili you never thought possible. From the waterfalls of Erawan to a homestay with the hill tribes of the Golden Triangle, these adventures go beyond the tourist traps. Buckle up.

Best time to visit thailand.

Thailand's climate is generally hot, humid, and at times (like other South East Asian countries) monsoonal. The seasons differ from coast to coast, so depending on which areas you're visiting, the weather can vary.

Thailand's mainland region is great to visit from November to February when the weather is cooler and dryer.

If you are planning on visiting the Gulf Coast (east), avoid the northeast monsoon that brings rain from October to January. For destinations like Phuket on the west side of the peninsula, the best time is November to April to avoid the other monsoon which causes Thailand's wet season from May to October.

Read more about the best time to visit Thailand

Culture and customs

Often considered the epicenter of Buddhism, religion permeates daily life in Thailand. Sprinkled throughout the country are thousands of golden temples, where you’ll find Buddhist monks in orange robes walking the streets. Young men are expected to spend some time as a monk as it bestows honor on their families. Visitors should be respectful of monks and dress modestly when visiting a temple (cover your knees and shoulders and remove your shoes).

Like other Asian nations, the concept of ‘saving face’ is important. This means avoiding conflict or embarrassment in order to preserve social standing, dignity, and honor. Thai people will go out of their way to avoid ‘losing face’. Losing your temper or raising your voice are surefire ways to lose face and can be perceived as volatile or rude.

Eating and drinking

Thai food has everything from spicy dishes packed with chilis to milder coconut-based curries. With street stalls and night markets all over the country, it's really easy to pick up a snack wherever you are in Thailand. On many Intrepid trips, you'll be given the opportunity to have dinner with a local family – this offers a great chance to see how meals are prepared and learn more about the local culture. Go a step further on our 8-day Thailand Read Food Adventure to watch, eat, prepare, and present tasty and traditional Thai cuisine.

Things to try in Thailand

1. Pad Thai (Phat Thai)

A well-known dish but for good reason. This delicious plate of stir-fried rice noodles garnished with peanuts is full of flavor and can be served with fresh prawns, chicken, tofu, or vegetables.

2. Tom Yum (Tom Yam)

Usually prepared with stock, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and chili, this soup is widely available in Thailand and has been popularised around the world. 

3. Green curry

One of many curries that Thais do so well. Green curry consists of chicken, Thai eggplant, and chilies bathed in a coconut milk-based sauce.

4. Som tam (green papaya salad)

This northern dish of shredded raw papaya, cherry tomatoes, and green beans is a tantalizing mix of sweet, spicy, and sour flavors.

5. Coconut water

For a super fresh thirst quencher, try coconut water straight from the husk.

6. Tropical fruit

Fruit shakes and fresh fruit juices are widely available from markets and restaurants – make the most of all the tropical fruits of Thailand.

Geography and environment

Sharing borders with South East Asian neighbors  Cambodia ,   Laos ,   Malaysia   , and   Myanmar   (Burma), Thailand's natural environment varies greatly from region to region. From the steamy jungles and misty highlands in the north to the white sand beaches and picturesque islands of the south, Thailand's everchanging landscape has been fascinating and entertaining travelers for centuries. 

The capital, Bangkok, is a heaving, urban jungle with skyscrapers, street vendors, markets, cars, tuk-tuks, bicycles, and masses of people all competing for space. Despite this, there are pockets of quiet beauty to be found with parks, temples, and traditional shop fronts scattered throughout the city. 

Rural areas in the north are typically quieter, with locals living a more traditional way of life; the frenetic pace of the city giving way to a more slow-paced, agricultural-based lifestyle. Houses are simple, there's more space and less of the modern conveniences. Jungles, rivers, bamboo huts, and teak houses are more commonly seen here, and birds and other animal life are more abundant.

History and government

Early history.

Communities based on agriculture (such as rice growing) inhabited Siam (Thailand) as early as the 6th century. In the following centuries, Siam came under the influence of the Khmer, Dvaravati, and Malay cultures, with some temples and monuments in modern-day Thailand showing evidence of this influence. In the 13th century, the city of Sukhothai in northern Thailand became an important capital. The ruins of the Sukhothai Historical Park (a UNESCO World Heritage site) feature remnants of the royal palace, temples, and other buildings and highlight the artistic and architectural features of the era. 

Ayutthaya rose to prominence as the new capital in the 14th century and was considered a powerhouse of South East Asia as one of the most important centers of trade in the world. Enduring many battles, invasions, overthrows, and coups, Ayutthaya's far-reaching trade with other regions ensured a flourishing influence of art, weaponry, religion, and cuisine. Much wealth was generated by this enormous empire, with grand palaces, ornate buildings, and huge temples featured throughout the city. All this came to an end when the Burmese invaded in the 18th century, bringing the kingdom to ruin and resulting in the loss of many artistic and cultural treasures. Despite this, the ruins of the city are still standing, have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, and are a great day trip from Bangkok. See the sights of ancient and recent Thai history during a 3 day River Kwai and Ancient Thai Kingdoms tour.

Recent history

Thonburi was established as the capital of Siam by General Taksin in the late 18th century, yet this didn't last long with Taksim being deposed and executed not long after. Bangkok was then named capital by General Chakri, who became Rama I - the first king of the Rama Dynasty.

Over the years, Siam (Thailand) remained the only South East Asian country to remain free from European colonization. In 1932, the Siamese Revolution resulted in a constitutional monarchy being formed, and in 1941, Thailand invaded French Indochina, overpowered the French, and claimed Laos.

In the last thirty years, Thailand has seen political power change hands many times, often due to coups, revolutions, and protests. Despite this, Thailand’s economy continues to grow due to its strong tourist industry. Enduring all this, the much-loved King Rama IX has reigned as the Head of State since 1946 - claiming the title of the longest-reigning monarch in the world and providing Thai people with a stable figure to rely upon.

Top 10 iconic Thai landscapes

Whether you're traveling by tuk-tuk through the crazy streets, cycling along backroads, or taking a longtail through the khlongs, the journey in Bangkok is definitely half the fun. Drop into the stunning Grand Palace, see the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, and wind your way through floating markets.

5. Ayuthaya

Enjoy this historical park for yourself during a 10 day Highlights of Thailand tour.

6. Sukhothai

This former capital is a history buff's heaven. Nicknamed the 'Dawn of Happiness', Sukhothai still recalls Siam's golden age with its superb statues, marvelous monuments, and lotus flowers in full bloom. A trip to the night market is a real eye-opener; try everything from fried rice to fried bugs.

Stop by Sukhothai on our 8 day Explore Northern Thailand adventure.

The waters surrounding Krabi are dotted with hundreds of limestone karst islands. Kayakers and rock climbers will love exploring them, while others can travel to the nearby floating villages or just relax on one of the region's perfect beaches.

8. Golden Triangle

The area where the Thai, Laotian, and Burmese borders meet has long been associated with colorful cultures and illicit opium trade. The opium may have gone but the color hasn't and the markets offer all sorts of amazing local handicrafts.

9. Khao Sok National Park

Phang Nga Bay is perhaps one of Thailand's most recognizable gems. Kayak around the green waters, admiring the sheer limestone karsts that jut dramatically out of the sea.

Coast through the must-see sights of Phang Nga Bay on our 8 day Phuket Sailing Adventure.

Bustling street markets filled with colorful vendors selling an assortment of goods can be found in small villages and large towns throughout the country. Luxurious, multi-level shopping malls that rival those in European cities are increasingly popping up. 

The Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok is perhaps the largest and most extensive market in the world. Here vendors sell everything you can think of, from ceramics to Thai silk to vintage clothing. Bartering is expected at markets and most small vendors. As a rule of thumb, if the price isn’t listed, it’s negotiable. But remember, Thais appreciate friendliness and a sense of humor. The more aggressive you are in trying to get a deal, the less likely you are to get one.

Things to buy in Thailand

• Vibrant fabric cushions, tablecloths, and hammocks
• Silver jewelry (look for reputable stores) 
• Handcrafted umbrellas or parasols
• Thai silk scarves, ties, wraps, and clothing
• Colorful Celadon ceramics
• Tailor-made clothing

Festival and events

Loy krathong (festival of lights).

During the 12th lunar month, people across the country gather around lakes, rivers, and canals to symbolically let their worries float away in the most magical way – by releasing colorful lotus-shaped rafts holding candles, incense, and flowers onto the water.

At the same time that Loy Krathong is taking place, Chiang Mai also celebrates Yee Peng. Religious events, cultural activities, and street parades all mark this Buddhist tradition. But what makes this festival truly spectacular is the release of thousands of sky lanterns that illuminate the sky.  

Songkran (Thai New Year)

What happens when New Year’s Day falls during the height of summer? It morphs into a giant water fight. Some towns celebrate just on the day (April 13), while others stretch it out for several days of concerts, ceremonies, and other wet festivities.

Chiang Mai Flower Festival

Flowers are used in ways you never thought imaginable at this colorful three-day event in February. Come for the parade of impressive floral floats, and stay for the tasty Thai street food, music, and performances.

Public holidays that may impact travel include:

• Makha Bucha Day

Songkran Festival (Thai New Year)

H.M. King's Coronation

Visakha Bucha Day

Queen Suthida's Birthday

King Vajiralongkorn's Birthday

Buddhist Lent Day

Queen’s Birthday

Anniversary of the Death of King Bhumibol

Chulalongkorn Day

King’s Birthday

Constitution Day

Please note dates of  Thai public holidays may vary.

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Do I need a visa to visit Thailand?

Travelers with passports from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States are exempt from a tourist visa if they are traveling for 30 days or less. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from entry to Thailand.

Is tipping customary in Thailand?

Tipping isn’t customary in Thailand, but feel free to leave restaurants, drivers or service workers a small tip if the service has been particularly good. It’s always appreciated.

What is internet access like in Thailand?

The Internet can be accessed at hotels and internet cafes in large cities and tourist areas but is limited in rural and remote areas.

Can I use my cell phone while in Thailand?

Cell phone coverage is generally good in Thailand’s urban areas, but may not be available on some of the islands and in more remote areas. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home.

What are the toilets like in Thailand?

Squat toilets are most common in Thailand, although western-style flushable toilets can be found in larger hotels and some tourist areas. It’s a good idea to carry your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer, as they are not always provided.

Can I drink the tap water in Thailand?

Drinking tap water isn’t recommended in Thailand. Avoid drinks with ice and make sure to peel fruit before eating it. Help the environment and try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, fill a reusable water bottle with filtered water. Your leader or hotel can tell you where to find filtered water.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Thailand?

Credit cards are usually accepted by hotels, large retailers and tourist sites but are less commonly accepted by smaller vendors and family-run restaurants in rural areas. Market stalls and street vendors will not accept credit cards. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases in case credit cards are not an option.

What is ATM access like in Thailand?

ATMs are widely available in larger cities but are less common in small villages or rural areas. Make sure you have enough cash before leaving urban areas.

Do I need any vaccinations before visiting Thailand?

No vaccines are required in order to enter Thailand but some are recommended for protection against disease. Visit your doctor or travel clinic for advice and make sure to schedule vaccinations 4-6 weeks before your departure date, as some require time to become effective.

Is Thailand a safe destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

As a whole, Thailand is a hassle-free destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers. Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket all have fairly prominent gay scenes. Be aware that Thais typically do not engage in public displays of affection, regardless of sexual orientation.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel.

What's the transport like in Thailand?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators, and are more fun.

Depending on which trip you're on while in Thailand, you may find yourself traveling by Songthaew.

Get to know the locals as you share a ride in these converted pick-up trucks. Snagging a seat on the ‘two benches’ (the literal meaning of songthaew) is a popular way of getting around South East Asia.

See Thailand from the ground level on a Saamlaw, the three-wheeled wonder. Sometimes motorized but usually pedal-powered by a local, it’s a fun way to get from A to B or see a new city's sights.

What's the accommodation like in Thailand?

Traveling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavor to provide travelers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodations as unique and traditional as possible.

When traveling with us in Thailand you may find yourself staying in a Homestay.

Experience friendly Thai hospitality while staying with a local family living a traditional way of life. Make new friends, pick up some local lingo and leave smiling.

The ultimate room with a view - spend the night on a floating bamboo raft house. Enjoy the seclusion, soak up the serenity and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Does my trip to Thailand support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Thailand directly support our foundation partner, EcoThailand Foundation . 

EcoThailand Foundation is on a mission to educate and empower local communities, on the tourist Islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Paluay, about environmental issues like climate change, waste management, nature appreciation, conservation and sustainable lifestyles. Donations from our trips help EcoThailand's environmental guardianship education program for children in local state schools.

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Stroll through Pak Klong Talad market in Bangkok

Pak Klong Talad is one of the world’s most incredible flower markets, with flower species of every shape and color from all over Thailand. It’s open 24 hours and the busiest time is just after midnight, when trucks full of fresh flowers arrive and the florists begin trading to find the best bouquets for their stalls.

Meet a local monk and learn about Buddhism

Our Local Specialists will take you to Wat Suan Dok, a royal temple in Chiang Mai, where we'll meet a local Buddhist monk. It’s an incredible opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism and you’ll learn about the monk’s sacred traditions against the backdrop of the temple's striking golden chedi.

Join the locals for a graceful T'ai Chi practice

Live like a local and rise early for a peaceful T’ai Chi session in Lumpini Park. The park is a green haven with shaded lawns to practice the ancient art of T’ai Chi, and it’s a great way to ease into your day and the bustle of Bangkok.

Relax at the beachfront in Phuket

With long stretches of powdery white sands and turquoise waters, the beaches of Phuket are one of the most beautiful sights in Thailand. Relax under palm trees, go swimming or kayaking on the ocean, or dive below the water to discover brilliant sea life in protected marine parks.

Our top 5 things to do in Thailand

Our Thailand vacation packages will reveal every side of Thailand, from the Buddhist temples of Chiang Mai to the glittering beaches of Phuket.

Grand Palace

The Grand Palace is one of the most iconic sights in Bangkok and we’ll take you on a journey through this dazzling complex. See the impressive Royal Reception Halls and the revered Emerald Buddha, a Buddha image carved from a single block of jade, dating back to the 14th century.

Jim Thompson House

Located in Bangkok, the Jim Thompson House is the former home of James Thompson, an American businessman and architect. He dedicated his life to the revival of Thai silk and designed the house in 1958, with six traditional Thai-styled houses to showcase his large art collection of Thai paintings and historical Buddhist statues.

Wat Doi Suthep

Perched at the top of Doi Suthep mountain at an elevation of 3,520 feet, Wat Doi Suthep is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Thailand. We’ll take you up the 309 steps to find glittering shrines and statues, the holy gold plated chedi, and a sweeping view over the city of Chiang Mai.

Best museums in Thailand

Our guided trips to Thailand take you the country’s most incredible museums, from the former house of a Thai silk trader, to a sacred golden temple at the top of a mountain.

A delicious stir-fried noodle dish, Pad Thai is one of the most classic foods found in Thai street stalls. It’s a combination of egg, fish sauce, tamarind, and your choice of chicken, tofu and prawns. Top with bean sprouts and peanuts for crunch and chilli and lime juice for a zesty kick.

The most famous salad in Thailand, Som Tam is a fiery dish of shredded green papaya, tomatoes and green beans. The vegetables are mixed with fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar and a healthy dose of chilli, and you can tailor the dish to your taste for extra sweetness or spiciness.

Green Curry

You’ll find the beloved green curry all over Thailand and our Local Specialists will show you the best spots to try this spicy coconut milk curry. Green chillies give the curry its color, and it’s filled with beans, Thai aubergines, the meat of your choice and served with steamed rice.

Best food in Thailand

The Thai cuisine is one of the best parts of a trip to Thailand and our Thai vacation packages will show you all the best places to try these beloved dishes.

What to pack for Thailand

Adaptor plug

In Thailand the standard voltage is 220 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type A, B, C, F and O. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Reef-safe sunscreen & insect repellent

Protect yourself from the harsh Thai sun with SPF 30 or higher and protect the coral reefs with reef-safe sunscreen. You’ll also need to pack plenty of DEET insect repellent.

In Thai culture, it’s required to remove your shoes before entering houses, temples and some shops and restaurants. Bring a comfortable pair of sandals so you can easily slip them off all day.

With plenty of islands ringed with golden shorelines and turquoise waters, you’ll definitely need a swimsuit for snorkelling, diving and blissful beach days in Thailand.

Thai phrasebook

The Thai language is unique to the country, and you’ll gain plenty of smiles and appreciation from the locals if you attempt to learn a few phrases.

Best Times to Visit Thailand for Great Weather, Beaches, Festivals, and Low Prices

As mentioned above the best times to visit Thailand are from November to March. However, this can depend on your Thailand holiday purposes, budget, and weather preferences.

Best Time for the Best Weather

To bask in Thailand's finest weather, plan your visit between November and February. During these months, the country from the north inland to the south islands experiences cool and dry conditions, offering a delightful escape from extreme heat and rain. Perfect for exploring with clear skies and comfortable temperatures.

Best Time for Beaches and Islands

If you are a beach/island lover, November to March is the best time to visit beaches on the west coast of Thailand like Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, Similan Islands, and Krabi. Meanwhile, Koh Samui, nestled on the east coast, is good to visit from January to March and July to September.

Best Time for Low Prices

For budget-conscious travelers, the monsoon season from May to October offers lower prices and fewer crowds. Despite frequent rain showers, this period offers unique opportunities to secure significant discounts – up to 50% – on accommodation, flights, and tours.

Best Time for Thailand Festivals

For an authentic experience of Thailand's vibrant festivals, plan your visit in November for the enchanting Loy Krathong and Yi Peng Festival or in April to immerse yourself in the lively Songkran Festival.

The Worst Times to Visit Thailand

Avoiding the hot season if possible.

Thailand's hot season, from April to June, brings soaring temperatures and intense humidity, peaking in April and May at over 40°C (104°F). If you're not a fan of the heat, be sure to avoid those months.

Tips for Travelling during the Hot Season:

• Explore northern regions like Chiang Mai, where the climate is generally cooler compared to the southern parts of the country.
• Engage in water-based activities to cool off, such as visiting coastal areas or islands.

Avoiding the Rainy Season If Possible

While the rainy season (July to October) graces Thailand with lush landscapes, it also brings short afternoon showers and potential disruptions due to monsoons and storms.

However, you can revel in the perks of serene locales with fewer crowds and attractive prices.

Tips for Travelling the Rainy Season:

• Explore eastern and northern regions during the rainy season, as they typically receive less rainfall compared to the southern areas.
• Keep an eye on weather forecasts and plan indoor activities on days when rain is expected.
• Consider the sun-kissed beauty of Bali as a radiant alternative when Thailand is drenched in rain.

Thailand Travel Guide by Month

Click the sign of each month to check the travel guide information.

Thailand Weather in January: Nice Weather

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 15–25°C (59–77°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 25–32°C (77–89°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 26–32°C (79–89°F)

January offers great weather conditions, whether for city sightseeing or beach holidays.

It is a popular tourist season in Thailand, especially in tourist hotspots, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, and Koh Samui. Expect larger crowds at popular attractions and book accommodations in advance.

Events and Festivals

The key festival, when it is in January, Chinese New Year, is celebrated right across the country, especially in Bangkok's Chinatown.

Suggested read: Thailand in January: the top 5 places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in February: Nice Weather

Similar to the weather of January, February's weather is still nice, warm, and dry.

Good weather means almost anywhere is a good place to plan your holiday.

Beautiful islands and beaches are also good places to go — Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak... All kinds of water activities enjoy ideal conditions.

Thailand Weather in March: The Heat Builds

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 20–30°C (68–86°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 28–35°C (82–95°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 28–34°C (82–93°F)

March is still a fabulous month to visit Thailand, especially in the first half of the month, though it starts to heat up in March. It's advisable to stay hydrated, especially in the central region with warmer temperatures.

During this season, you can go literally anywhere in Thailand thanks to the low rainfall. Water-related activities in the southern islands are enjoyable.

Suggested read: Thailand in March: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in April: Hottest

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 25–35°C (77–95°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 29–35°C (86–97°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 29–35°C (84–95°F)

April is the hottest month in Thailand. It is not unusual for temperatures to exceed 30°C (95°F) all day and night!

The heat in Chiang Mai during April gets even more oppressive than in Bangkok. Chiang Rai is slightly cooler by 1 or 2°C but is still hot nonetheless.

For beach lovers, you are almost guaranteed some blue skies and clear seas. Staying in a beach resort will be at least 4 or 5°C cooler than in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.

Festivals and Events

Thai New Year (Songkran Festival) is the biggest, longest, and most enjoyable festival in Thailand. It is a 3-day-long water fight that takes place throughout the country!

Suggested read: Thailand in April: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in May: The Rains Start

• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 31–36°C (88–97°F)

May is still hot and starts to be wet with it, as Thailand begins its rainy season. The rainy season is in full swing by the end of the month.

The weather in Bangkok and other cities in May starts to get extremely humid. Koh Samui is better than Phuket and Krabi to go because rainfall during May is much lower on the Gulf of Thailand than on the Andaman Coast.

May sees the end of the high season, which means that prices on hotels and flights begin to drop, bringing great value for visitors.

Suggested read: Thailand in May: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in June: Wet and Hot

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 28–38°C (82–100°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 29–35°C (84–95°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 27–33°C (81–91°F)

Thailand can expect an average of 15 to 22 days of rain in June. However, the rain is usually short-lived, occurring in short bursts in the afternoon or evening.

This tourism low season is the best time to travel to Thailand for prices and quietness, with more choices of accommodation and various different promotions.

For beachgoers, Ko Samui and Hua Hin are the best destinations as they are not so affected by the rains at this time.

Suggested read: Thailand in June: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in July: Wet

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 28–36°C (82–97°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 28–34°C (82–93°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 27–32°C (81–89°F)

July experiences heavy rainfall, so be prepared for wet conditions.

The southern islands are affected by the monsoon in July, which brings heavy rains and turbulent waves to the west coast.

However, the east coast (Koh Samui, Koh Tao, etc) experiences fewer showers during this season and has relatively good weather in July. You can still enjoy sunny days at the beach on these islands.

Some urban areas, such as Bangkok, remain hot and wet. Staying refreshed with indoor swimming pool visits and cold showers will help relieve any discomfort.

Suggested read: Thailand in July: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in August: Wet

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 27–35°C (81–95°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 27–33°C (81–91°F)

Like July, August is one of the best times to visit Koh Samui and the surrounding islands. Though there are some brief rains, it is much better than the other side of the peninsula in Phuket, Krabi, Koh Chang, and the Phi Phi Islands.

A trip to Thailand in August can be a cost-effective opportunity to enjoy scenic spots and quiet beaches without the crowds.

Suggested read: Thailand in August: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in September: Wettest

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 25–32°C (77–89°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 26–32°C (79–89°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 26–31°C (79–88°F)

September is the wettest month in Thailand. But actually, only some rural areas are significantly affected by the rains during the wet season, such as the mountainous north around Chiang Mai.

Destinations like Bangkok offer travelers plenty to do and see, even when it's raining outside. Koh Samui is recommended for beach holidays in September as it is less affected by the rains.

Rains do not disrupt the travel experience too much for some, as it seldom rains all day long.

Suggested read: Thailand in September: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in October: End of the Rains

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 22–30°C (72–86°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 24–31°C (75–88°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 25–30°C (77–86°F)

Thailand experiences high or very high rainfall again in October, except in Northern Thailand where the rainy season already tails off to moderate levels.

The monsoon rain eases off with less rainfall and lower temperatures by the end of October in most of Thailand. However, Koh Samui begins its peak rainy season at this time.

Some visitors come to Thailand at the end of October to wait for the annual grand Thailand Lantern Festival in early November. Bangkok and Chiang Mai are the main venues.

Suggested read: Thailand in October: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in November: Peak Season Starts

• Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai): 18–28°C (64–82°F)
• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 23–30°C (73–86°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 24–30°C (75–86°F)

Thailand's peak travel season starts from November. The rains and heat are gone or going from most of the country.

You can venture out without any worries of getting drenched, EXCEPT on the east coast, which receives a massive half a meter of rain in November.

Islands on the Andaman Coast (Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi Island, Similan Islands, etc.) are ideal places to go, by contrast, with only moderate rainfall.

Bangkok and Chiang Mai, with low rainfall, are the most popular cities in November for the Thailand Lantern Festivals .

Suggested read: Thailand in November: top places to visit, costs, and crowds .

Thailand Weather in December: Coolest

• Central Thailand (Bangkok): 22–31°C (72–88°F)
• Southern Thailand (Phuket): 23–39°C (73–84°F)

December is the coolest month in Thailand, but it's still warm everywhere but in the cool/mild mountainous north.

December is a great time to visit most areas in Thailand (Koh Samui is still in rainy season though) and is also the country's busiest month for tourism.

There are celebrations on Christmas and New Year's Eve in Thailand. Shopping malls in Thailand have big sales from late December to early January. If you're planning a trip to Thailand over the Christmas and New Year period, try to book as early as possible. Popular hotels are usually booked up 3-6 months in advance.

Thailand Hotel + Flights

Whether you’re visiting on a shoestring or you’re a luxury traveler, you’re spoiled for choice in Thailand. There are 30,111 hotels across the country starting at $36 a night. Regardless of your budget, everyone likes to save money when they can. That’s why many travelers choose to bundle everything into a neat Thailand Vacation Package. Once you’ve sorted out your hotel, flights and rental car, all that will be left to do is explore the ancient temple of Wat Phra Chetuphon. And guess what? You can add a tour of that into your package as well.

Your Thailand Vacation Itinerary

Day 1: Touch down at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok and grab a cab to your accommodations. Eat a delicious Thai meal from a street vendor before hitting the capital’s best sights, such as Wat Phra Chetuphon, Chatuchak Weekend Market and the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun).

Day 2: Fly south to the magical Island of Phuket. Crystal clear waters and abundant sea life make this place a magnet for divers. If you’d rather stay on dry land, spend some time touring Big Buddha Phuket and Monkey Hill.

Day 6: Hop on a flight to Chiang Mai, Thailand’s relaxation capital. You could spend weeks exploring its Buddhist temples and bright green rice fields.

Thailand Information

Celebrate Songkran (Thai New Year). It runs from April 13-15 each year and is celebrated in some places with massive water fights in the streets!

Top Vacation Destinations in Thailand

Find fun on an island with Phuket vacation packages

The island of Phuket is one of the most-visited places in all of Thailand, thanks to its welcoming beaches and impressive natural features. You can dive into crystal clear waters or relax among white sands surrounded by vibrant greenery. Boating is also popular here and is a common way to travel to and from the island, though tours are often their primary purpose.

Explore the capital with Bangkok vacation packages

The city of Bangkok is packed full of exciting things to do. It's often most recognized for its vibrant nightlife, where you'll find numerous bars and clubs to enjoy. There's plenty to do during the day as well, with fascinating museums and delicious restaurants to try. The city also has some fairly impressive parks and natural features you won't want to miss out on.

Visit the new city on a Chiang Mai vacation

Chiang Mai may directly translate to New City in Thai, but it was founded in 1296. When you visit, you'll be able to explore a wide variety of historic sites, including temples and shrines. It's also home to picturesque mountains with scenic views of the city and natural landscapes beyond. As you might expect, museums are particularly popular in the city.

See the archipelago with Ko Phi Phi vacation packages

Ko Phi Phi is a collection of serene islands that offers unending fun in the sun with clear waters and towering limestone cliffs. The scenic views here are some of the best in the country, and you'll find plenty of opportunities for activities. Boating is popular here, with speed boats, in particular, being perfect for travelers looking for a thrill.

Dive into the outdoors with Krabi vacation packages

Krabi is a region that's primarily known for its crystal waters and fun outdoor activities. The clear waters make it an obvious spot for diving, but that's not the only reason. This region is also located right by a colorful coral reef that's only visible if you dive down and take a look at it for yourself. Of course, you can always simply relax on the beach if you prefer.

Relax in luxury with Pattaya vacation packages

Pattaya is a luxurious resort town that's perfect for travelers who are looking for a relaxing break that will let all the stressors of life be left somewhere else. Not only will you find pampering in local spas and resorts, but you can also visit the local beach for a swim, stroll, or watersports. Additionally, the historic sites here offer valuable insight into the nation's past.

8 of Thailand's most amazing places to visit

Jun 15, 2024 • 9 min read

From historic cities like Ayutthaya to white-sand beaches, here are the best places to visit in Thailand © Westend61 / Getty Images

When people think of Thailand , they often think of relaxing on a  pristine beach  with a refreshing cold drink in their hand.

Although Thailand is indeed blessed when it comes to diversions of the sandy persuasion, this country of more than 513 sq km (198 sq miles) also boasts virgin forestland, picturesque mountains, lively nightlife, raucous markets and of course, cities with their own unique histories and cultures. Thailand is a multifaceted destination, appealing to everyone from the hedonistic foodie to the ascetic seeking enlightenment (and everyone in between).

Fly-and-flop aficionados will of course head to a tropical island , as do most first-timers to the country , dazzled by the variety of destinations peppering Thailand’s waters. Likewise, culture vultures are most suited to big cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai , while nature enthusiasts will be best served by combing through the emerald-green mountains of the kingdom’s north and northeast or the jungles along Myanmar’s border. With decent railway infrastructure, buses, ferries, cars for hire and many airports, it's easy to get around : you just need to choose the places to visit in Thailand that best match your interests.

Best city for food and nightlife

Many travelers to Thailand land in Bangkok only to immediately transfer to another destination, missing out on a city that remains strangely underrated. After all, Bangkok is the perfect launching pad for day trips to the surrounding region , with floating markets and beaches to the south and popular national parks to the north. It's a great place to stay for a couple of days, at least, before heading to another part of Thailand.

With over 10 million residents, Bangkok is a sprawling megacity. But all it really takes to navigate Bangkok is a little advance preparation. The city’s more than 320,000 restaurants serve a wide range of cuisines from Thai to Ethiopian to Latvian, and its more than 500,000 street food vendors ensure that food is available anywhere in Bangkok 24 hours a day. In Bangkok, or Krung Thep Mahanakorn (the “City of Angels”), the world is your oyster … or chicken satay skewer, or bowl of soup noodles.

Bangkok's bars and clubs offer a surprisingly wide range of styles and drinks. Of the establishments on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list , four are in Bangkok. The city also has a penchant for speakeasy-type places, as well as Japanese-style bars (Japanese being one of Bangkok’s biggest expat communities). If a drink is what you’re after, you will not go thirsty – spring for Q&A Bar’s  Pinkish, a twist on the Negroni with rhubarb and grapefruit gin, the potent Old Fashioned jazzed up with turmeric at Vesper , or go classic with a good, crisp martini at Bamboo Bar .

Planning tip:  Bangkok’s bars and clubs are not permitted to be open all night – in fact, most close at the relatively early time of 1am.

2. Chiang Mai

Best City for Temples

Chiang Mai is a great base from which to explore the surrounding mountains, caves and waterfalls, all of which could take at least three days of your trip. The former capital of the Northern Lanna empire, the Chiang Mai area also boasts more than 300 temples. Some, like Doi Suthep , are famous for their stunning viewpoints; others, like Wat Suan Dok , serve as the burial grounds for the ashes of Chiang Mai’s former royal family. The charmingly weatherbeaten Wat Chedi Luang , founded in 1385, enjoys a convenient location smack dab in the middle of the Old Town, while Wat Phra Singh , home of the Lion Buddha, dazzles in the sunlight with its golden stupas. 

But there is plenty to experience besides temples. Northern Thai cuisine is unlike any other in Thailand, inspired as it is by Chinese elements and nearly 200 years under Burmese rule. Northern Thais also dress and dance in a distinctive manner, as well as speak their own dialect, called kum mueang . Its many outdoor markets, such as Talat Warorot and Talat Jing Jai, sell food, clothing and knick-knacks that make perfect souvenirs.

Planning tip: From late February to early April, Chiang Mai is usually inundated with smoke from farmers burning land in the mountains to plant their crops. Opt for the Thai “winter” of November to January or the rainy season .

3. The far north

Best region for hiking

Known as the Golden Triangle, the apex of Thailand’s far north – where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet – has served as a destination for die-hard nature lovers for decades. Be it via motorcycle, mountain bike or simply walking, exploring this area yields not only striking natural beauty but also the chance to visit both Laos and Myanmar (if only, typically, for a short period of time). Once known as a major production spot for opium, the Golden Triangle is now where visitors come to cruise along the Mekong against a spectacular background, camp in moderate (for Thailand) weather, or visit an elephant camp (or all three!)

Sleepy Chiang Rai , the former capital of the Lanna dynasty, is only 9km (6 miles) south of the Golden Triangle, making it an ideal spot from which to trawl through the surrounding area. This city holds its own attractions as well, including the world-famous  Wat Rong Khun , or White Temple, and is worth exploring for a day in itself.

Planning tip: It's a 1.5-hour trip from Chiang Rai to the Golden Triangle. Aside from renting a car, you can hire a taxi or take a bus.

Best island for a blend of cultures

It is the biggest island in Thailand, but  Phuket hosts an entirely different culture from the rest of the country: a mix of Hokkien Chinese, Thai and Malaysian elements. Hokkien-style fried noodles, o-aew (a jelly made from plant seeds), o-tao (an oyster omelet topped with pork rinds) and moo hong (braised pork belly stew) are all dishes that originated in Phuket and are difficult to find even in the rest of Thailand. Little wonder, then, why Phuket is one of Thailand’s most-visited destinations.

Phuket’s architecture is also unique – evidence of its past when it was ruled by the Portuguese. Sino-Portuguese shophouses, with their distinctive colors, tiles and fusion of both Western and Eastern styles, line the streets of the Old Town and are reminiscent of the shophouses in Penang and Singapore. With its top-tier beaches and Old Town culture, Phuket is perfect for both first-timers and couples and can easily take up a week of your visit.

Planning tip: September to October is Phuket’s rainy season, so try to avoid the island during this time. There are plenty of other great destinations beyond Phuket to consider visiting too.

5. The Upper Gulf

Best region for floating markets

The region south of Bangkok is easily reached from the capital, taking up a mere hour or so of driving (depending on traffic). Here is where you will find Thailand’s most famous floating markets, including Damnoen Saduak (at its busiest in the early morning) and Amphawa (more popular with locals and with a more nightlife-y vibe).

The famous Maeklong Railway Market can also be found here, where vendors pull up part of their stalls to allow a train to (slowly) pass six times a day. In Bang Kachao , called "the green lung of Bangkok" for its proximity to the capital, you can hire a bicycle to roll through the wilderness on concrete passageways, passing over canals hiding monitor lizards and reaching the island’s own floating market, Talat Nam Bang Nam Phueng. You can even take a day trip from Bangkok to the beach for sea breezes and fresh seafood ( Pattaya is only 2 hours away by car or bus, after all).

Planning tip: Besides driving, you can take a taxi, bus and train to sites such as Damnoen Saduak and Ampawa, where you can also stay overnight along the water.

6. Khao Yai National Park

Best for wildlife

A 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok, Khao Yai has been a popular weekend retreat for nature-loving Bangkokians for decades. As a result, the area around the national park – Thailand’s third largest – is generously studded with houses, hotels, restaurants, shops and even amusement parks. Not surprisingly, it is an ideal place to bring the whole family.

The top attraction, of course, is the 2166 sq km (836 sq miles) that comprise Thailand’s most-visited national park. Blessed with a wealth of hiking trails for everyone from a beginner to an experienced trekker, cooling waterfalls and an impressive range of wildlife, including monkeys, leopards, bears and elephants, Khao Yai can provide hours of entertainment for people of any age. Park rangers can be hired to help spot animals by guiding visitors to the places where you're most likely to see them, or to direct them to the best viewpoints or waterfalls nearby.

Planning tip: You should hire a guide ahead of time if you are going wildlife spotting. A park ranger can be found through the park’s website .

7. Ko Samui

Best island for water sports

If you were to picture the ideal tropical island with soft beaches and turquoise water, chances are you would be picturing Ko Samui . Although not as popular as Phuket, Thailand’s second-largest island still lures more than 2 million visitors a year, making it one of the most-visited islands in the country.

Besides its many charming beaches, Samui also hosts Ang Thong National Park , an archipelago of islands perfect for snorkeling and sea kayaking, Na Muang waterfalls for casual swimming, snorkelers' favorite Silver Beach, and countless spots for scuba diving. On-land attractions are also abundant, including fishing villages, golf courses and a surprising number of wellness retreats.

Planning tip: Samui has a surprisingly long “dry” season from December to August when chances of rain are minimal.

8. Ayutthaya and Sukhothai

Best destinations for history buffs

The historic city of Ayutthaya  served as Siam’s capital from the 14th to 18th centuries before it was ransacked by the Burmese. The remnants of that city have since been established as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, perfect fodder for scrambling and exploring. Bike rentals on the edge of the historical park turn Ayutthaya into an even easier place to navigate, making for a pleasant morning of culture/exercise under a canopy of green leaves.

Sukhothai , Siam’s first capital, was built on a smaller scale and also allows bike rentals, making it an ideal hands-on history lesson for families with smaller children. Also a World Heritage site, Sukhothai’s towers and Buddha statues are less visited than its younger sister down south, making it more pleasant for people who prefer to avoid large crowds.

Planning tip: Ayutthaya can be accessed by river boat, which takes up to an hour from Bangkok (less time than driving there). Get to Sukhothai by plane, train and bus or car.

Planning Your Trip to Thailand – The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need

Planning a trip to Thailand can make your head spin.

Where should you visit, what should you pack, do you need a Visa?

The questions can be endless.

I've helped numerous people over the years plan their trips to Thailand; both close friends and family, and friends of work associates who have contacted me for advice.

In this post, I'll reveal the same tips I give them, and help you plan the holiday of a lifetime.

This post will also help you if you're planning a family trip to Thailand, a move to Thailand, either for a job, teaching, or just an extended stay.

• Where to stay
• Weather seasons
•   Accommodation
•   Pre-holiday to-do list

Where to Stay in Thailand

If you're visiting Thailand for two or three weeks, then you're probably torn over which parts of the country to visit.

There are so many islands to consider, and so many areas of the country that boast beautiful scenery and interesting culture.

The key is to strike a balance between not staying in one place too long and not visiting places too quickly – otherwise you don't get to really explore and appreciate them.

My general advice  for a holiday would be to visit three areas of the country:

Some might say you should avoid Bangkok because it's really busy, hot, and doesn't have a beach.

In my opinion, if you're going to visit Thailand, then you should experience Bangkok.

It's actually a good place to arrive and spend a few days.

Because if you've had a long haul flight, then you will most likely be landing in Bangkok, so you can catch a taxi to your hotel and get some rest, rather than waiting around for a connecting flight.

Moreover, if you're flying across a couple of time zones, then you will be jet-lagged.

I'd rather get over my jet lag in Bangkok and be fully refreshed for visiting the beaches and islands, than sleeping half the day away at a beautiful beach location.

So two or three nights in Bangkok is ideal.

Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok.

If you arrive in the afternoon on the first day, then you can hang out at the hotel, maybe visit a market and grab something to eat, and then get some sleep.

You're probably going to sleep in late, or wake up early the next day and then want to sleep again in the afternoon to get over your jet lag.

You'll then have one more full day where you feel more energetic and can visit the Grand Palace , maybe a floating market, and do a bit of shopping .

Another option is to spend a couple of days in Bangkok when you arrive, and then come back to Bangkok for a day before you leave.

The reasoning behind this is that you might want to do some shopping before you go home, but you might not want to do that shopping when you arrive because you would have to carry the stuff around with you for the rest of your holiday.

This really depends on how much shopping you plan on taking home.

If you have more time on your hands in Bangkok, check out my list of things to do in the Big Mango.

At the Grand Palace, Bangkok

Staying on Thailand's Islands

It goes without saying that the Southern islands have the best beaches.

There are some good beaches that you can get to in a couple of hours from Bangkok, such as on Koh Larn and Koh Samet.

However,  if you choose to go to Phuket or Koh Samui, from that base you will be able to visit a number of other islands too.

You also have a good selection of beaches on those islands.

The Phi Phi Islands are an island group in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the Straits of Malacca coast of Thailand.

Yes, these are the more commercial islands, and while there are more intimate and less touristy islands, pretty much all of the best beach locations have a lot of visitor traffic in high season.

Furthermore, the more remote islands aren't always that practical for families, and some lack good accommodation and things to do, particularly for kids.

If you come for a second or third holiday, then you might want to explore some of the less popular but more beautiful islands.

But if this is your first and potentially your only trip, then I recommend going to Phuket or Koh Samui, and from these islands taking boat trips to see other beautiful islands and beaches.

Located a short drive from Choeng Mon Beach in Koh Samui, Samujana boast luxurious villas.

The North (Chiang Mai)

You might choose to simply stay down south and enjoy the beaches, and I wouldn't blame you. I'd happily sit on a deckchair for the entire holiday, to'ing and fro'ing from the massage spot, gym, and bar.

But if you want a deeper insight to the country and to see another side to Thailand, then the North is a good place to visit.

Chang Mai in particular is very popular, Westerner-friendly city – surrounded by beautiful nature.

You can base yourself in Chang Mai for a few days and go off for trips to Doi Intanon National Park, Doi Suthep Temple, the Elephant Nature Park ,  and enjoy the good food and night markets of the North.

Again, like Bangkok, a few nights here will be adequate.

Doi Inthanon, in Chiang Mai, is the highest mountain in Thailand.

Got an Extra Few Days?

If you find yourself back in Bangkok and you've got an extra few days to spare, then you might go to Koh Samet for a couple of nights,  which is three hours from Bangkok and a 30-minute ferry.

Samet is not far from the aptly named Sin City of Pattaya. Indeed, if you are a single man or with a group of friends, you might like to see the bright lights of Pattaya,  which is a beach resort too, and only a couple of hours drive from Bangkok.

Probably not the smartest idea to take your wife or girlfriend there. Unless they aren't bothered by go-go bars and hookers.

Visiting, in Summary

Those who have lived in Thailand for a while, or visited on holiday a number of times, may poo-poo my suggestions and give you recommendations of places to go that are off the beaten track.

But that's because the more time you spend in Thailand the more you want to get away from the touristy areas and find more isolated places.

But generally, for a first holiday, you want to be in the thick of it and see the main attractions of the things other people have seen.

You want easy access and plenty of options. Trust me, I've been there, done it, and worn the t-shirt.

That being said, if you are traveling for three months or more and spending a month in Thailand, then you can visit these popular hotspots and then go off and visit some more remote places like these. 

Khao Sok is situated on the mainland between Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak and Koh Samui.

When to Visit Thailand – Weather

The weather in Thailand does vary by region at different times of the year.

Generally speaking, you can follow this guide:

• Dry Season: March-May
• Rainy Season: May-October
• Cool Season: November-February

For a place by place breakdown, check out my extensive weather guide. 

Accommodation for Different Budgets

Depending on whether you're a solo backpacker or a family of 4 on the holiday of a lifetime, accommodation requirements vary for different types of traveler.

Luckily, Thailand generally has something for everyone in all corners of the country.

From package holidays to hostels and mid-range hotels, check out my booking recommendations here.

Also consider that if you aren't too fussed about plush accommodation, you can rock up and book in at what's available.

During high season you won't be able to be too picky, as the nicer rooms and bungalows get booked up in advance.

But let me just say that I have never not been able to get a room somewhere in any of Asia.

And you're planning on catching a train or a bus, check out 12GO here.

Pre-Holiday To-Do List

The large majority of countries are subject to a visa exemption. This means that when their citizens enter Thailand they get a stamp that permits a stay of 30 days.

If you are coming towards the end of your trip and you think you might want to stay longer, you can visit an immigration office and extend this stay by another 30 days for 1,900 Baht.

However,  in the interest of good planning, if you think that extending your stay is a good possibility, you should consider getting a single entry tourist visa, which gives you a 60-day stay in the country.

A multiple entry tourist visa  is a six month visa, but you can only stay for 60 days at a time. You then have to leave the country and come back into activate a further 60 days.

Again, the multiple entry option can be extended for 30 days by going to immigration and paying the aforementioned fee.

Generally speaking, those coming for a two or three week holiday won't need to worry about a visa.

2. Travel Insurance

It goes without saying that you will need travel insurance.

Not only does travel insurance protects you against hospital bills if you fall ill or have an accident, but some policies will also cover you against cancellation of your flights or lost baggage and stolen goods.

Travel insurance is one of those things that many people forget to do in the midst of all the excitement of planning.

So I suggest this is something that you do early on in your trip planning process to make sure that you are covered from the moment you leave your house.

I don't want to make you fear going on holiday, but at the end of the day it gives you peace of mind.

See my travel insurance recommendations here.

3. Suitable Backpack/Holdall

Another thing that people often don't consider until the last minute, mainly because they have an old suitcase or holdall in the attic that  they always use, is suitable luggage.

Consider what type of holiday you are taking:

• Are you going to be traveling on trains and buses?
• Are you going to be trekking or diving?
• Or are you going to be staying in luxury hotels and taking  private cars everywhere and having someone to hold your back?

You won't want a big clunky suitcase if you are  taking an overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai .

And if you are going trekking , then you may need to consider a second bag in addition to your main backpack; one that is detachable and can be taken with your essentials on the trek.

In fact, a second, smaller backpack is advisable for everyone visiting Thailand.

You will need something practical to carry around with you during the daytime.

Although, when out shopping and in crowds you should wear backpacks on your front so that you can't be pick-pocketed, particularly in Bangkok.

I'm not trying to scare you here, the same goes for any major city you are visiting, including my hometown, London.

4. Mosquito Spray

You can find mosquito spray in Thailand at pretty much every convenience store, and is likely to be cheaper than in your home country.

However, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to look for a higher quality brand in your home country before you leave.

Your mosquito spray should contain DEET.

Note that the higher percentage of DEET does not represent how effective it is but how long it lasts:

Products containing lower concentrations of DEET are as effective as those with higher concentrations, but for shorter periods of time. On average, products containing 100% DEET will be effective for 9.5 hours, 30% DEET for 6.5 hours, 15% DEET for 5 hours, 10% DEET for 3 hours and 5% DEET for 2 hours ( source )

5. Vaccinations

There maybe some vaccinations for you to consider before you visit Thailand.

These can usually be done by your regular Doctor, and even at some pharmacies. There's a full list here.

6. Changing Money

People often change up lots of money before they go on holiday, thinking that they will run out quickly, but this is not a wise thing to do.

It isn't a good idea to travel with loads of money on you, just in case you lose it.

Moreover, I usually get a better exchange rate when I arrive in Bangkok than I do back home, anyway.  You will find a number of exhange places in central Bangkok.

If you want to do it at the airport, don't do it at the exchange booth inside the arrivals area, do it when you come out into the main foyer, as you tend to get better rate there.

You might choose to change up to $300 before you leave, depending on how many people are traveling.

That being said, it is expensive to withdraw money in Thailand- because you get charged for the local withdrawal and charged by your bank back home for the international withdrawal.

This could end up costing you $5-6 dollars per withdrawal.

That said, this isn't really a big deal if you only make three withdrawals across the whole holiday.

Note that cash machines are generally limited to a withdrawal amount of 20,000 Baht per time.

If you do want to avoid fees, then consider finding a credit or debit card provider that doesn't charge for international transactions,  and/or has low rates on withdrawals.

You might also want to consider something like the Revolut Card.

This is a multi-currency prepaid card, which allows you to pre-load money and spend abroad.

One I would  recommend is making a plan before you leave, detailing how much money you plan to take in cash, both money changed into Thai Baht and money in your native currency to change up in Thailand.

And then consider a cost-effective strategy for withdrawing money and spending money on your cards.

7. Health Insurance

If you have travel insurance then you aren't likely to need this, but for those with specific conditions, or who want specific extra cover – perhaps for an extended period, health insurance may be a requirement.

Cigna is a reputable and reliable health insurer for those living and traveling in Thailand.

You can get a quote using their 2-minute quote page by clicking here. 

Streaming & Secure Internet Browsing

If you want to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Disney + on holiday, you will need to bypass GEO restrictions to watch some of the content.

You can do this with a VPN. A VPN is also a good idea when using WIFI in airports and cafes, particularly if you are going to be logging onto personal banking or accessing other sensitive information from your laptop, phone or tablet.

I have a post with more details on this. Read the VPN post here.

• And much, MUCH more!

Excited to get planning your own adventure ?

Travellerspoint

Getting Into The Country: Getting A Visa

First up: Do you even need a visa for Thailand?

Well, it all depends on where you are from.

If, like us, you are a British or Irish citizen then you get 30 days in without a visa, as part of the visa exempt programme.

This can be reset once you stamp out of the country and back in again. 

For example, our 3 week itinerary was actually broken into two parts:

• We visited the southern end of Thailand before heading off into Cambodia, Vietnam and then Laos
• We then re-entered the north of Thailand to visit our final 3 stops

As such, we never actually needed to get a visa as you can travel in twice from land borders in one year, but air travel borders are different and I don’t believe there is a limit.

You can extend to 60 days in the country by going to an immigration office; learn more about the process here .

Of course, things are regularly changing in Asia, so be sure to check whether or not these are the most up-to-date visa regulations for Thailand.

Rough 3 Week Overview: North & South

Now down to the good part … the ultimate route for 3 weeks in Thailand!

As a rough idea, this itinerary is going to first take you down south, where you can hit the beaches and islands of Thailand first .

Then from the bottom, you can either bus your way back to Bangkok and head North via bus, or you can make life easier and get a cheap internal flight from Phuket to Chiang Mai …

But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves!

Here’s a summary of what to expect ...

Part 1: South Thailand Itinerary

Bangkok > Hua Hin> Koh Samui > Koh Phangan > Koh Tao > Krabi > Koh Phi Phi islands > Phuket

Part 2: North Thailand Itinerary

Chiang Rai > Chiang Mai > Pai > Chiang Mai

To join parts 1 & 2 between Phuket and Chiang Rai, you can either bus up to Chiang Rai, which will probably require a bus change in Bangkok. Or you can fly with Air Asia or Thai Airways for cheap up to Bangkok (which is what I did) and then get a bus to Chiang Rai from there.

The Ultimate 3 Week Thailand Itinerary

Okay, let’s break this Thailand Itinerary 3 weeks route down. 

We have 21 nights and a lot of ground to cover!

Stop 1: Bangkok (2 Nights)

As it’s such a central hub for the rest of Thailand, there is the chance to make 3 individual stops in Bangkok as a part of this itinerary.

But don’t worry, there is so much to do in Bangkok , so I will break it down into what to do there.

Start with 2 nights in Bangkok; use your first night to recover from your flight and go visit Koh San Road (maybe see a ping pong show if you’re not shattered).

Then the next day in Bangkok, go see some of the top temples such as the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and the Leaning Buddha.

It will be a day of temple hopping then in the evening hit one of the amazing markets and eat street food and drink Thai beer!

Alternatively, if you don’t want to organise your schedule, then check out this awesome Bangkok Instagram tour that takes you to the best photo spots in the city! 

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Zee Thai <-- This was an amazing place: cheap, great location and great backpacker vibe!

Stop 2: Hua Hin (1 Night)

From Bangkok you get a cheap bus to Hua Hin (taxi was 2000 baht in 2015), bus is a lot cheaper and the journey is around 4 hours.

Head early so you get the full day in Hua Hin: you can go visit the amazing elephant sanctuary that allows you to walk, feed and wash the elephants (no riding here!).

Then in the evening hit the fantastic Hua Hin night market. 

Here you will find amazing food galore!

There is also a nice beach in Hua Hin (if you get the time!)

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Jenny Hostel <-- well situated and affordable - not much of a backpacker vibe though. ‍
• Getting There: Book your bus from Bangkok to Hua Hin here .

Stop 3: Koh Samui (2 Nights)

Koh Samui is a beautiful island and you get there via bus and boat from Hua Hin. 

Buy your tickets online with Lomprayah and get ready to see some beautiful beaches.

In Koh Samui you can check out Big Buddha, beautiful beaches and party your heart out if you want to!

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Sirinsamui Boutique Hostel <-- Highly recommend this place! It’s modern, clean and full of other backpackers. The perfect spot to party! Also, the pool is amazing.
• Getting There: Book your boat from Hua Hin to Koh Samui here .

Stop 4: Koh Phangan (2 Nights)

Koh Phangan is well worth a spot on any Thailand itinerary for one reason … the Full Moon Party ! 

It’s the main reason many people head down south in the first place.

Head there by boat a day before the Full Moon Party for the “pre moon” party, and if you really want to you can stay an extra night for the jungle party.

But in the interests of this being a strict 3 week thailand itinerary, I’m suggesting 2 nights!

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Phangan Beach Resort & First Villa Beach Resort <-- I've actually been to two Full Moon Parties over the years and can recommend both of these spots. Both are in amazing spots right on the beach and are great for pre-drinking prior to the Full Moon.
• Getting There: ‍ Book your boat from Koh Samui to Koh Phangan here .

Stop 5: Koh Tao (1 Night)

Koh Tao, best  known for its snorkelling and beautiful beaches, is the smallest of the islands in this region and is well worth a night's stay.

It’s actually the only island I haven’t been too, mainly because I kept running out of time. 

BUT, I have friends who have been and loved the snorkelling, and it’s definitely somewhere I will make a stop next time I am at the Full Moon Party.

• Getting There: You can book tickets to Koh Tao here .

Stop 6: Krabi (2 Nights)

I am suggesting two nights because by the time you get to Krabi, you’ll have wasted a day travelling. 

Despite the journey, Krabi is definitely worth visiting and has the brilliant Railay beach which is beautiful and iconic.

It’s also got an awesome strip of bars and restaurants.

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Haleeva Sunshine ← Pretty basic hotel accommodation
• Getting There: Book your boat to Krabi here .

Stop 7: Phi Phi (2 Nights)

Phi Phi is a small island, now best known for partying. 

You can also visit other islands off Phi Phi, so 2 nights is good if you want a day for recovering then an actual day of sightseeing.

Be sure to book accommodation far in advance as it sells up!

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Phi Phi Sky Resort ← Would definitely recommend ‍
• Getting There: Book boat tickets to Phi Phi here .

Stop 8: Phuket (1 Night)

Other than Patong Beach, Phuket is actually quite a dire place to visit.

Because of a strip called Bangla Road, which is like the party capital/weird sex capital/ ping pong/sex show capital of the area.

If you want cheap shots, then there we go! However, O just found the whole strip to be so seedy, with fat old guys grinding on young Thai girls selling themselves; each to their own I suppose.

The main reason to visit is because Phuket has got an airport, and you need to get back to Bangkok.

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Oscar Boutique Hotel ← Nice and modern, though based on new reviews it looks like it may have let its standards slip since we visited. ‍
• Getting There: Book boat tickets to Phuket here .

Stop 9: Bangkok (1 Night)

The quickest way to get back north is to fly back up to Bangkok.

Whilst in Bangkok for a night, go and organise your bus to Chiang Rai then head and see a Thai boxing match in the evening! 

Always fun!

Tomorrow, it’s time to head north …

Alternatively, it’s now possible to fly directly from Phuket to Chaing Rai ( check prices here ).

Stop 10: Chiang Rai (2 Nights)

Chiang Rai is home to some of the best temples anywhere in Thailand, and probably Asia (in my opinion). 

The White Temple is iconic architecture, and absolutely beautiful, and the blue temple is peaceful, stunning and, best of all, free.

I think more and more people are beginning to visit the Blue Temple so it might be more crowded nowadays, and they may have even started charging. 

Afterwards you’ve got the black temple, amazing waterfalls and mountains to chase; read more in my guide on what to do in Chiang Rai .

Tour option: If you want to see the awesome White and Blue Temple, as well as the Black House, but don't feel confident on a moped, then this is a great value and highly rated tour for less than $20 .

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Ann Guest House <-- Ran by a friendly couple and nicely located, no complaints! ‍
• Getting There: Book your transfers to Chiang Rai here .

Stop 11: Chiang Mai (2 Nights)

Chiang Mai is quickly becoming the digital nomad capital of the world (due to cheap rent and low cost of living), but it’s also got some fabulous temples, waterfalls, waterparks, swimming areas, markets and much more!

My favourite memory is from visiting the Grand Canyon, just outside the city, where you can dive from heights of up to 7 metres into a vast, rain-filled canyon!

I also loved the Old City walls, and the food at the night market which runs every day.

I love Chiang Mai, and you probably will too.

For more ideas of what to get up to, read my guide on how to spend 3 days in Chiang Mai .

• Getting There: Book the bus from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai here .

Stop 12: Pai (2 Nights)

Pai is in the far north of Thailand, and you can get there by only one road.

So you’ll need to either rent a moped and drive these winding roads yourself, or you get a little mini bus from the Arcade Chiang Mai bus station for 150 baht.

You can buy them in person, or instead get them in advance online here .

There is a good chance you will throw up on the journey, or if you don’t throw up, you’re going to be close to it; so take motion sickness tablets.

But trust me when I say it’s totally worth it!!

Pai is beautiful and just filled with natural beauty and unforgettable things to do !

It has a fantastic night food market (my favourite in the world), amazing natural hot springs dotted everywhere, stunning Buddha's to climb and see, strawberry fields, the Pai Canyon and much more. 

Simply put, Pai is amazing and the perfect spot to end your 3 weeks in Thailand.

To get the most out of your time there, you’ll ideally need to hire a moped when you get to Pai. 

It’s how everyone gets around, and there aren’t a lot of taxis; plus they are very cheap.

Don’t forget that international driving licence before you fly to Thailand (which in the UK you get at the Post Office for £5.50).

• ‍ Where We Stayed: Pai Fuh Pha Resort ← We stayed in this wonderful little Bungalow, just outside of town and surrounded by rice paddies! Highly recommend this place. ‍
• Getting There: Book bus transfers to Pai here .

Stop 13: Bangkok (1 Night)

After Pai, you’ll probably need to make your way back south to Bangkok, which is the central point for flying to your next destination (or back home).

From Pai, you’ll need to catch a bus back to Chiang back and then fly or bus back to Bangkok ( find all your transfer options here ).

I recommend you to spend your last night in Bangkok with dinner and drinks at a rooftop bar with the stunning skyline of Bangkok beneath you. 

Stay in a hotel with a rooftop swimming pool for an extra special send off.

• ‍ Where We Stayed: I Residence Hotel Silom ← pretty cheap, but with a lively rooftop pool right next to the “Tetris Building” (at least that’s what we named this funky building).

21 Nights = 3 Weeks in Thailand!

You could do this 3 week route from back to front and when you end in Bangkok after the islands, you fly home then from there.

If you want to do a Full Moon, then I would do it first and then work my way north.

It’s personally a nicer way to do it.

Both south and north Thailand offer great things, but they are very different. 

South is much more about partying and beaches, and generic backpacking, but the North is filled with natural beauty in the form of waterfalls, hot springs and mountains and I love it!

So now you’ve got the ultimate 3 week Thailand trip, you’re almost ready to go, but check out the rest of my information below to help you make the most of your trip .

Getting Around Thailand

Getting around Thailand is pretty easy, as all routes are well trodden by thousands of backpackers each year. 

To visit everywhere on this itinerary, you’ll need to make use of ...

• ‍Buses: There is a vast tourist bus network In Thailand and I always use 12goAsia to book my bus tickets in advance . Just ease of mind and I hate negotiating in person. ‍
• Aeroplanes: Thanks to AirAsia it’s super cheap to fly between different places in Thailand. You can get flights from Chiang Mai to Bangkok for less than 800 baht. Use Skyscanner to find the best prices. ‍
• Boats: These connect all of the Thai islands and are crucial for island hopping . You can book most boat transfers cheaply on 12goAsia .
• Trains (optional): I personally never used the train network in Thailand, but I do know you can get trains between places like Bangkok and Chiang Mai. It’s a cheap and comfortable way to travel and you can find out more about routes and prices here .

Within cities you can get tuk tuks (which are a great experience in themselves!)

I also recommend using Uber or Grab . 

It saves you the hassle of getting ripped off and you know what you’re in for. 

Also, in every place apart from Bangkok, it’s worth renting a moped to get around and explore. It’s safe and hassle free. You can find out more about renting a moped in Southeast Asia here .

What Are The Best Things To Do In Thailand?

For most destinations listed, I’ve linked through to a guide on that part of the country and within that I’ve listed some top things to do. For the islands, they don’t have their individual guides, but my complete guide on island hopping covers them all individually.

BUT, to get you excited, here are some things you should not miss on a Thailand itinerary.

• Visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok
• Experience a Floating Market
• Relax in the natural hot springs in Pai
• Try Strawberry Vodka and wine at a strawberry farm
• Party till you drop at the Full Moon Party Thailand
• Snorkel in Koh Tao
• Relax and explore Railay Beach
• Explore the Khao Yai National Park
• Take a Thai cooking class
• Visit a elephant sanctuary (but do not ride)

If you complete at least all of these 10 things, then you’ll have done some of the best things Thailand has to offer.

A Suggested Budget For Thailand

So, how much does 3 weeks in Thailand cost?

Well, Thailand isn’t that expensive anywhere, even Bangkok. 

The most expensive site there is the Grand Palace and it’s only around 500 baht.

You could survive in Thailand on a budget of $USD20-30 a day and this would include accommodation, food and transport.

Bradley and I spent around that, then a little extra for nights like the Full Moon Party.

Food is dirt cheap, especially if you are eating street food: which is typically safe as long as you use common sense and don’t eat anywhere too unhygienic.

If a stall is empty and everywhere else is busy, then avoid it. 

Thai red curry is amazing and Pad Thai is the go-to cheap common dish; I’m craving it now as I write.

Our 3 weeks itinerary takes you through all of the country, not just a focus on the south or the north and you will see a slight variation in price. 

The north is cheaper than the south, but alcohol is cheap across Thailand; you just need to exercise caution and check you are drinking genuine branded alcohol

So watch your drinks being poured, and if buying buckets at the Full Moon Party, make sure you make the bucket yourself with a sealed bottle of spirit at purchase.

Read Also: How To Save Money For Travel

Why visit both north and south Thailand?

The reason I’ve included both north and south Thailand is that those who only go to the south can sometimes feel disappointed in their experience.

This is because the south of Thailand is very well known. 

We’ve all seen the pictures on Instagram many times, and most of them are overly edited and don’t look like that in person; so people are disappointed when they go.

Actually, in the north, with the Blue Temple, I see high travel profiles share photos of the blue temple and they edit the colour so much it turns the temple into sort of a light blue, which looks pretty, but the temple doesn’t have that colour; it doesn’t need a new blue, it’s already beautiful. So, yes, use Instagram to inspire you to go to a destination, but do not expect it to look like the picture with the Lightroom preset on it!

How about a 2 Week Thailand Itinerary?

If you find yourself with only 2 weeks in Thailand, then I’d maybe suggest sticking to the south. You’ll get to explore Bangkok and a lot of beautiful temples, islands and beaches.

Here’s a decent route

Bangkok > Hua Hin > Koh Samui > Koh Phangan > Krabi > Phi Phi > Phuket

• Bangkok: 2 nights
• Hua Hin: 1 night
• Koh Samui: 2 nights
• Koh Phangan: 3 nights
• Krabi: 2 nights
• Phi Phi: 2 nights
• Phuket: 2 nights
• Back to Bangkok and ready to go!

Or if you want a 2 week northern Thailand itinerary, try this one:

Bangkok > Thung Salaeng Luang National Park > Chaing Rai > Chiang Mai > Pai > Bangkok > Hua Hin >Bangkok

• National park: 2 nights
• Chiang Rai: 2 nights
• Chiang Mai: 3 nights
• Pai: 3 nights

Only have 1 week in Thailand?

A 1 week Thailand itinerary will need to follow the highlights, which you can do, but you’ll need to fly!

Bangkok > Koh Samui > Koh Phangan > Koh Tao > fly back to Bangkok

• Koh Phangan: 2 nights
• Koh Tao: 1 night
• Fly back to Bangkok from Samui and fly out!

Or the north option is ...

Bangkok > Chiang Mai > Pai > Chaing Rai > Bangkok

• Chiang Mai: 2 nights
• Pai: 2 nights
• Bangkok: fly home!

A Few Final Travel Tips

I thought I’d include a few final tips/things to know in order to help your Thailand trip go smoothly!

• Get yourself a Revolut Card: In 2016, it was announced that every Thai ATM/bank would charge foreign cards (including travel cards) a stupid fee of around 200 baht per withdrawal. If you get a Revolut card and choose the option “continue WITHOUT conversion” (you’d be surprised at how often people get this wrong) you’ll get the best exchange rate, so lose less money. Basically it’s a good idea to bring as much Thai Baht in with you as you can and your Revolut card is free for ATM transactions so use that.
• Many Thai people are only interested in your money: Thai people really are a mixed bag. Some you get are super chirpy and happy, whereas others act like they’ll only talk to or interact with you if you’ve got money. Which is annoying. But I met many great-hearted Thai people in Thailand and I therefore can’t let the minor few ruin the reputation of everyone.
• Use 7-Eleven! These stores are everywhere and are the best shop for snacks/drinks/AND ICE LATTE. It’s less than a dollar and tastes unbelievably good. I miss them SO much. There are some “Cafe Amazons” in Thailand, which are also just out of this world with coffee.
• Visit the Hard Rock in Bangkok: The Hard Rock Cafe in Bangkok has the best live band (still the same one for the last 5 years), and the best staff. So if you want fun and exciting nightlife away from Koh San Road, then go there.
• Tipping of 10% is customary
• Bring a Shawl:
• ‍ You’ll need to cover up for temples or else you will have to pay to borrow clothes! Our Thailand packing list can help with that

The Best Time to Book a Flight for Domestic, International, and Summer Travel

Take these expert tips for booking travel in 2024 and beyond.

When to Book Flights for Domestic Travel

When to book flights for international travel, when to book flights for holiday 2024 travel, when to book flights for summer 2025 travel.

Buying plane tickets is something of an art form. Ideally, you want to secure your spot in advance to avoid the inevitable price spike as your travel dates get closer. Industry data reveals the sweet spot for booking domestic flights is 28 days, or 60 days for international flights. That said, the trends are always changing, and experts recommend booking earlier for peak travel periods like summer and the holiday season.

Flights generally open for booking about a year ahead of time, and the airfare will change often between then and takeoff. Although you can book just a couple of weeks before the departure date in some cases, prices are likely to be astronomical. In other cases, when you want to go somewhere popular or during a big travel weekend, flights could fill up faster than normal. Our advice: Track flight prices on Google Flights or Hopper as early as possible so you can keep an eye on cost fluctuations. Read on for more advice about when to book flights from the pros.

According to Expedia's 2024 Air Travel Hacks report , you should aim to book 28 days before your domestic flight. "Doing so can save travelers up to 24 percent compared to those who wait until the last minute, from zero to six days out," Expedia travel expert Christie Hudson tells Travel + Leisure.

For domestic trips, pricing is elevated when tickets are first released, about a year before the flight. Those prices will slowly creep downward, all the way to their lowest point in the prime booking window, after which you'll likely see a huge increase in cost for last-minute travel.

Meet the Expert

Christie Hudson is a travel expert at top booking site Expedia.

You're better off booking earlier rather than later for international travel, but the Expedia report says ideally no more than four months before your desired departure date. The sweet spot is around 60 days. "This is a big change from 2022 data, which showed the cheapest fares were secured when travelers booked four to six months out." Hudson says. "2023 data revealed that people who booked that far in advance actually paid more on average." The report says the least expensive day of the week to book is Sunday and the most expensive is Friday, for both domestic and international travel.

The real trick to finding good deals on international airfare is to avoid booking your travel for peak times, which include summer and major holidays (don't forget — that includes holidays in your destination, too).

Around the winter holidays is the priciest time to travel, says Katy Nastro, travel expert at Going. "Your best bet is to remember the Goldilocks zones: look to book between three to seven months ahead for domestic travel and four to 10 months ahead for international travel."

Hudson advises that at the very latest, your holiday travel should be booked by mid-October. "But the biggest holiday travel savings actually come from choosing the right dates," she says. "Avoiding the busiest days like the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Friday and Saturday before Christmas will yield major savings."

Katy Nastro is a travel expert at Going, a website that finds flight deals to more than 900 destinations around the world.

Track flights and book your holiday tickets as soon as you find a decent deal, but make sure to book a fare that will give you a credit if you cancel (generally speaking, that means don't book basic economy). That way, if prices drop between the time of booking and your travel dates, you can cancel your original ticket and use the credit to book the cheaper fare. The only downside is you'll still have some remaining credit, but you can then use it to treat yourself to a future flight. Just don't let that credit expire.

Summer is traditionally one of the most popular times of the year to travel, which means it can be tough to find a good deal on airfare. Ideally, you should book flights for summer travel as soon as possible, preferably at least six months in advance.

"The best time to book for peak season is … the opposite season," Nastro says. "While most of us are scrambling to focus on our winter holiday plans, we should also keep our eyes open for some great summer fares."

She notes that the booking window for peak season ranges between three and seven months for domestic flights and four to 10 months for international trips. "And if you do book something, keep that flight alert on," says Nastro. "If it drops again, depending on your ticket type, you can call to rebook and get a refund or travel credit back with the difference. Most airlines don't charge for change fees on main economy tickets, meaning you won't be spending more to save."

For the ultimate relaxation, a Thai massage is the best option. With several types of aromatic oils and treatments to choose from, getting rid of everyday stress becomes easy. These massage parlors line the streets at most popular markets, and one can simply walk in, even for a foot massage. No Thailand travel packages can be deemed complete without a rejuvenating massage and spa session.

2. Travel by Scooter

On a leisure day, one can choose to hire a two wheeler, and roam the beautiful locations on their own. Not only will this save money and is more environment-friendly, but one can also get to feel like a local in a country that isn’t their own. Mind it, a valid international driver’s licence is required for the same.

3. Eat Street Food

Now, what trip to Thailand will be complete without sampling some of their amazing street food. Fast, cheap and tasty, the street food is sure to enthrall everybody with its freshness, its innovation and of course, the cheap prices.

4. Go to a Full Moon Party

How To Reach Thailand?

Thailand tour packages from India cover destinations such as Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Samui. Direct flights to Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui, and Krabi are available from the major Indian cities - Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bangalore. While flights from Delhi and Mumbai are more popular, those from Chennai and Kolkata are more economical. Take a look below to find out the best way to travel here, before availing Thailand tour packages .

The ideal way to easily reach Thailand can be said to be by air. With several airlines such as IndiGo, Spicejet, Air India and Thai Airlines, among several others, offering daily flights to different destinations in Thailand, it becomes easy to fly here. Choose from several international airports in Thailand to land on, and a great trip is sure to be had. Most major cities of India offer regular, cheap flights to Bangkok, and one can take advantage of such fare when planning in advance.

Although it is not recommended, due to the excessive time it takes, one can travel to Thailand from India via road transfer. It would take 3 days or so to complete the journey. The road takes one through Manipur in the Northeastern region of India, across Myanmar, with the road opening up in Mae Sot in Thailand. With the amount of traveling that might be expected here, along with the multiple visa requirements, it is the best and cheapest option to travel by air.

There isn’t any way to travel to Thailand via the sea for commercial tourists. There are freight ships that travel from India to Thailand, but they are allowed to carry mostly goods. Also, the journey would be too long as well as expensive to consider.

Best Time To Visit Thailand

For the most part, the weather in Thailand remains humid and hot across the year, apart from the cool season. That doesn’t stop the tourists from arriving in hordes for enjoying a superb vacation here. The country experiences three distinctive seasons, namely the hot, the cool and the wet or rainy season. Take a look at the best season to visit it, before settling on one of the tour packages for Thailand.

Hot Season (March to June)

One can expect to have most of Thailand free from tourists, almost like having the entire country to themselves. The rates for hotels and activities also witness a downward spiral, so it is a good time for budget travelers to enjoy a trip.

Cool Season (November to February)

The cool season of Thailand lasts from November to February, or early March. The winter season, i.e November - March, is the best time to visit Thailand. The weather is much more pleasant during these months. However, families, friends, and honeymooners book holiday packages to Thailand all year round. This is the main tourist season for Thailand, and one can expect the main tourist destinations to be absolutely chock-a-block full of people. Several events, musical or otherwise, are held at various spots.

Wet Season (June to October)

Although the entire rainy season lasts from June to October, the onset of the rainy season changes every year and varies a bit depending on the location. Although the weather won’t be absolutely perfect, one can hope to have most of the beaches to themselves. The flight rates and accommodation options would also plunge accordingly, giving people a chance to enjoy a longer duration stay.

Or, they can also go through our list of diligently crafted itineraries of the destination. There are packages for newlyweds, solo travelers, adventure-junkies, and families. What’s more?

1. Nothing Better than Thailand for an All Boys Trip!

Duration: 4N/5D

Accommodation: Hotel

Experiences: Blue lagoons, sunny beaches, night markets & more

Come Back for: Koh Samui

My friend and I had been itching to go traveling for a long time, and as soon as we found some time, we started looking at options. With a perfect trip in mind, a total boy’s vacation, we decided on Thailand. Spending 4 nights, 5 days in Thailand, we managed to cover Bangkok, Phuket, Phi Phi Island and Krabi, with help from TravelTriangle. We knew we had a lot to cover, with beaches, night markets, street food, dance shows and so much more waiting for us in this glorious land. Our main attraction was beaches, and we managed to fit in quite a few, from Railay Beach to Tup Island, from Chicken Island to Phi Phi Island, and many others. And each of them was better than the last. What can we say, the trip was perfect, so was the hotel (we spent long, lazy hours in the pool)! The food at the hotel as well as the street food was delicious; whereas the sightseeing was impeccable as were the transfers.

2. When Girls Have All the Fun: A Thai Escapade

Duration: 8N/9D

Accommodation: Resort

We had been looking for a way to get all of our friends together for a girl’s trip away, and Thailand was the chosen destination. With assistance from the TravelTriangle team and agent associates, it became pretty evident from Day 1 that we were gonna have a great trip. The sparkling nightlife was a big attraction for going on Thailand Holidays , but we were also assured by TravelTriangle that it is a pretty safe destination for an all girls trip. The highlight had to be the Alcazar Cabaret show on the first day! What acrobatics and moves! We also covered Coral Island and Tiger Park, and there was never a dull moment. But, the best part was yet to come: SHOPPING! For shopaholics like us, Bangkok is a paradise, offering apparels, footwear, accessories, electronics and even items we have never heard about at such affordable prices! We shopped till we dropped! All in all, this was a trip of a lifetime.

3. Thailand: A Shopaholic’s Dream Come True

Duration: 6N/7D

Experiences: Adventure, gorgeous lagoons, super night markets

I like traveling solo, and have been to several places all by myself. But this time, we planned on a girl’s trip. My friends and I were looking for a place that would let us relax and yet have an adventurous time. Aiming to have all the fun that we could, we decided on Thailand as our perfect vacation spot. The package and the agent that was finalized via TravelTriangle was quite good. We got to see a lot of this beautiful country, from Phuket to Phi Phi Islands, from Bangkok to Krabi and so much more in-between on our Thailand Holidays . I can easily say that all the boxes on our travel bucket list were checked on this trip. While beaches were inviting and relaxing, some of them offered amazing chances to feel the adrenaline rushing through our veins. We loved kayaking on the Hong Island tour, visiting night markets in Bangkok, the stunning Ocean World tour and several other such excursions. Totally worth it; and we didn't even have to spend any precious time planning the trip.

Safety Measures For A Trip To Thailand

Thailand is a popular and very integral tourist destination in South East Asia. It boasts of markets, attractions, and places that interest any or all travellers visiting the country. But some safety features need to be kept in mind before visiting the country:

• Carry all basic requirements that ensure safer travel. This includes hand sanitizers, masks, disinfectants, etc.
• Choose a reliable travel agent to book your trip.
• Check permits before visiting an attraction or destination.
• Also, ensure that you have the necessary medical certificate as required.
• Book accommodation which is safe not only for group travellers but also for solo travellers. Accommodations that offer a cheaper budget may not be safe all the time.
• Snatching, mugging and pickpocketing are frequent crimes that occur in most parts of Thailand. To avoid such crimes, keep your belongings safe and away from the visibility of others.
• Be careful when you are walking alone on the road. Snatchers are mostly active in such places. If you are carrying a purse or bag, hold it one that side of the body which is away from the traffic.
• Do not carry all the cash or credit cards in one bag while you are out. Take only those possessions which are very necessary. Otherwise, leave your belongings in a safe at the hotel.
• Keep your phone in a safe place and out of sight. But do not make the mistake of keeping it in your bag or purse which is exposed outside.
• Before you leave for Thailand, get your name registered in the country’s embassy. In case of any mishap or disaster, India’s ministry of Foreign Affairs will be there for your rescue.
• Do not go to such places which are dimly lit or appear shady, especially during the night. Such “dark” areas are the infamous parts of Thailand.
• Visit the beaches during the morning and in the evening. Do not go to the beaches alone at night or after the evening.
