Travel to Thailand Tips

Thailand is known as The Land of Smiles, and it earns this title with the warm hospitality of the Thai people. Your senses will be on overload as you ride from the airport to your hotel in Bangkok. The colors of temples, the smell of foods in markets, the sounds of the streets as you work through traffic and Thai language and music. However, you have to get there first and the old adage, “getting there is half the fun”, is not always accurate. Somewhere in the middle of the longest leg of your journey, the word fun can get tougher to say. In this article we will look at making your trip affordable and comfortable.

Thailand Affordability

Let's start at the beginning, buying your airline ticket. Yes Thailand and the word affordable can belong in the same sentence. The key is whether or not you are willing to forego the 5 Star hotels and tour packages, for a more independent plan of your own. Starting with the air fare, forget most of the popular ticket search engines. Instead do a search for Thai or Asia travel agencies, plus the major city you live nearest, ie Chicago, Seattle, LA, NY, etc. You will usually find there are a number of agencies in the states that have Thai people as owners or employed as agents and they have a lot of experience finding the best prices and connections.

It should also be said that a good many non-Thai Agents are good at booking cheap flights to Thailand. However, Thai people will often know more current information about where you are traveling to in Thailand. A good agent live on the phone should be able to save you several hundred dollars over automated travel sites, even if their own site has an automated search.
