How To Save Money On A Trip To Thailand

If you dream of visiting Thailand, but can’t afford high-season plane tickets, don’t give up your plans. There are means to bring your dream to life without emptying your bank account.

If you want to go cheap, choose the right time to visit the country. Prices for plane tickets usually vary with the season. It is next to impossible to find cheap airline tickets during high season when prices go skyrocketing. Keep in mind that Thailand is crowded with tourists from November to April. If you want to avoid the crowds, you’d better pay a visit to Thailand during the wet season when the majority of tourists leave the country and the prices go down significantly.

Try to book tickets in advance. A quick search on the internet will yield many tips on where to hunt for the best bargains and how to get the best deals. You can save a lot of money if you book last-minute flights from charter airlines. Useful tip: round-trip tickets are cheaper than one-way tickets.

If you want to save money on accommodation, choose an inland hotel or rent a local apartment. Check ahead before heading to lesser-visited destinations – many hotels, resorts and restaurants close for the low season.

You can reach any destination by bus, minibus, car, boat, ferry, speedboat or taxi. The local food is cheap and exotic. You’ll definitely find something to your taste in the local restaurants and food spots.

You can save a great deal of money if you arrange the trip by yourself instead of buying a tour package. Booking everything online will cost you nothing, while the same amount of work performed by tour operators who specialize in last minute travel deals may cost you a certain amount of money.

There is always a chance to save money on a trip to Thailand, just keep on searching for available options – and your dream will easily come true!
