Where to have an inexpensive vacation in Thailand?
Pattaya Is one of the largest cities in the kingdom and inexpensive beach destinations in Asia, where tourists book tours in the first place. There is a lot of competition and, accordingly, lower prices. Pattaya has a huge number of entertainment, shops, clubs of different directions, cafes and restaurants. Life in this city does not stop either day or night. Pattaya is easy to get to, from Bangkok Airport about an hour and a half by bus.
The beach resort will be the perfect place for young people, partygoers and shopping lovers. The main disadvantage of the city is not a very clean sea and crowded beaches. But the Russians are not afraid of this. The problem is solved by renting a car, scooter or trips to neighboring islands on small ferries for 20-50 baht. Moreover, we recommend making excursions on your own, as it is much more profitable. The cheapest resorts for holidays in Thailand with children are also located in Pattaya in the area Jomtien.
The best resorts in Thailand
If you are planning a vacation for the whole family, we recommend quiet, secluded places, such as small islands or areas of national parks.
The best resorts with sandy beaches for the whole family are located on islets Samui, Koh Lanta, Krabi, Chang.
If you are traveling with a youth company or planning shopping, then large resorts such as Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket - this is even a plus.
If you are traveling with small children, it is better to stay closer to civilization. In this case, it is better to choose hotels away from large cities, but without long transfers. The optimal area can be called Khao Lak (Khao Lak).
- First, close to Bangkok airport. Buses run into the city and you don't have to think about the ferry crossing.
- Secondly, the place is ten times less visited by tourists; here you can still find secluded bays, deserted beaches with clear water.
Khao Lak is surrounded by several national parks, including the largest Khao Sok Park with a very beautiful mountain lake Cheo Lan. For those who want to hide from everyone for a couple of days, you can rent a house with meals. Right on the water in the tropical jungle. The actual inspection of this natural park can take several days. If you want noisy entertainment then you are in Phuket, Bangkok. They can be reached in an hour or two by car or bus.

When is the best time to go to Thailand?
The seasons of rest in this country are tied to climatic features. In Thailand, there is no winter in our understanding, but there is a rainy season. It lasts from June to October... During this period, it rains more at night, but prices for housing and food are falling significantly. The air temperature at this time ranges from + 26 ° С to + 32 ° С... Due to the high humidity, this temperature can be more difficult to tolerate than in the dry season.
We advise children to think over their travel dates more carefully. You can go during the rainy season, but the whims of a one-year-old child will make you sit in a hotel room all days from lunch to evening. And what kind of rest is there?
The most comfortable is + 18 ° С to + 30 ° С, from mid-November to February month. The same cannot be said about the prices for tours and services. The sea water temperature is 28 ° C - 29 ° C most of the year. If we consider the benefits of buying tours more carefully, then we recommend dates as an ideal option. from November 14 to December 10... At this moment, the weather conditions are the best for families with children, the prices for vouchers have not yet had time to rise to the fabulous New Year's, and spending the whole day by the sea will not be a problem.
When to buy a tour?
It is better to purchase the tour several weeks or even months before the trip. In this case, you will have time to calmly prepare for the trip and pack your things correctly. If you are traveling to an unfamiliar country, then there will be time to clarify its national characteristics, traditions, laws, so as not to get into a difficult situation on vacation. The travel agent will be able to offer you more options for choosing hotels. It is quite possible that the cost of the tour will be lower than when buying it "during the holiday season". Moreover, in case of force majeure, it will be possible to return the voucher for almost the same price, and sometimes even higher.

Several air carriers operate regular flights from Russia to Thailand. Among them:
- Aeroflot,

When looking for inexpensive flights to Phuket or Bangkok, we recommend looking at the companies: S7 Airlines and Nordwind Airlines.

Promotional tickets are also available for business class. By purchasing a tour, you probably save on the flight, because the agencies are trying to form charter, cheaper flights for tours. Sometimes tickets for these flights can be purchased from the tour operator without purchasing a tour.
