Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai & the islands — at prices that make it irresistible
Thailand remains one of the best-value destinations in the world. With stunning beaches, incredible street food, ancient temples, and a cost of living that stretches your budget further than almost anywhere else, getting a cheap flight is the hardest part. Fortunately, competition between carriers has driven transpacific fares to historic lows, with multiple routing options through Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, and Middle Eastern hubs.
January through March and September through November offer the cheapest flights. Avoid Chinese New Year (late January/February) and December holidays.
