Before you plan Thailand

Thailand weather and prices by month

November to March is cool and dry across most of the country. April is the hottest month (Songkran water festival). May to October brings short monsoon showers and the lowest hotel rates; the Gulf side (Koh Samui) is wettest from October to December.

Price of 7 nights in Thailand, worked out

Included in these Thailand figures: stay, sightseeing, meals, local rides. Add about ₹22,500 per person for a return flight from India to Thailand (cheaper when booked 6–8 weeks ahead). Where the money goes in Thailand each comfort day: room ₹2,900, sightseeing ₹2,000, meals ₹1,000, taxis ₹700. Thai baht (THB); ₹1 is roughly 0.38 to 0.42 baht.

Thailand: places not to miss

• Safari World: easy to combine with a nearby stop.
• Phuket FantaSea: book tickets a day ahead.
• Chiang Mai elephant sanctuary: best early in the morning.
• Alcazar or Tiffany show: popular with families.
• Krabi 4 Islands: go on a weekday if you can.
• James Bond Island: good for photos.
• Grand Palace and Wat Arun: a favourite of couples.
• Floating markets: worth a half day.

Do not leave without: an island-hopping speedboat day, a Thai cooking class, an ethical elephant sanctuary and a traditional Thai massage are the experiences travellers remember.

How to spend less in Thailand

• Shared (SIC) tours cost far less than private ones and work well for couples and solo travellers.
• Domestic flights connect Bangkok with Phuket, Krabi, Samui and Chiang Mai in about an hour; Pattaya is 2 hours by road from Bangkok airport; ferries and speedboats link the islands.
• Grab and Bolt apps show the fare before you ride; the BTS Skytrain is the fastest way across Bangkok.
• Travel in April, May and June when hotels in Thailand are cheaper than in November.
• Pick the Thailand area first, then the hotel: Bangkok (Sukhumvit, Pratunam, Silom), Pattaya (Beach Road, Jomtien), Phuket (Patong, Kata, Karon), Krabi (Ao Nang).
• Carry your return ticket and hotel booking, respect the royal family and temples (covered shoulders and knees), and use metered taxis or Grab.

How we would plan Thailand

Day 1: Arrive in Thailand

Arrive, meet your driver and check in. Keep the first evening light: a walk around Bangkok, dinner and an early night.

Day 2: Grand Palace and Wat Arun + Safari World

Pickup from your hotel after breakfast; the stops follow each other by distance, so less time goes in traffic. Dinner: indian restaurants in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Krabi; Thai vegetarian food is easy to find (ask for "jay").

Day 3: Coral Island (Koh Larn) + Alcazar or Tiffany show

An early start beats the crowds and the midday heat; lunch is on the way. Free hour? Bangkok's Pratunam and Platinum malls, MBK and the Chatuchak weekend market are the favourites for clothes and gifts; Pattaya and Phuket have night markets in every area.

Day 4: Phi Phi Islands + James Bond Island

A relaxed pace today, with time for photos and a long lunch. For the evening: Evenings mean cabaret shows (Alcazar, Tiffany's, Simon), night markets, rooftop bars in Bangkok and dinner cruises on the Chao Phraya.

Day 5: Phuket FantaSea + Krabi 4 Islands

Leave around 9 am and be back by evening, with time for a walk and dinner nearby. Dinner: indian restaurants in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Krabi; Thai vegetarian food is easy to find (ask for "jay").

Day 6: Chiang Mai elephant sanctuary + Floating markets

Pickup from your hotel after breakfast; the stops follow each other by distance, so less time goes in traffic. Free hour? Bangkok's Pratunam and Platinum malls, MBK and the Chatuchak weekend market are the favourites for clothes and gifts; Pattaya and Phuket have night markets in every area.

Day 7: Free day or optional tour

Keep a free day for shopping, a spa or one more experience you liked; it also gives room if weather changes a plan. For the evening: Evenings mean cabaret shows (Alcazar, Tiffany's, Simon), night markets, rooftop bars in Bangkok and dinner cruises on the Chao Phraya.

Day 8: Departure

Breakfast, check out and transfer for your flight or onward journey.

If you have more or less time: 5 nights: about ₹21,000 to ₹39,000 per person; 9 nights: about ₹35,000 to ₹65,000 per person (land cost, flights extra).
