How to make your Thailand holiday as cheap (and brilliant) as possible

  • Eat street food like a local - Thailand's street food is legendary and costs next to nothing. A plate of pad thai or green curry with rice from a street stall costs about £1-2. A sit-down meal for two with drinks in a proper restaurant rarely tops £10-15. Save the hotel restaurants for a special night and eat local the rest of the time.

  • Book excursions locally - island-hopping tours, elephant sanctuaries and temple visits are significantly cheaper when booked through your hotel or a local operator. A full-day Phi Phi Islands trip from Phuket

    costs about £15-25 per person locally versus £50+ pre-booked from the UK.

  • Fly at the right time - flights to Thailand are cheapest between May and October (the green/rainy season). Rain usually comes in short afternoon bursts rather than all day, and you'll get significantly lower prices. November to February has the best weather but higher prices. May, June and October are the sweet spot.

  • Mix your accommodation - a few nights in a 5-star beach resort in Phuket or Khao Lak followed by a few nights in a boutique hotel in Bangkok gives you the best of both worlds without spending a fortune on the city portion.

  • Use the Grab app - Thailand's version of Uber is the cheapest way to get around. Fixed prices, no haggling, and usually 30-50% cheaper than a regular taxi or tuk-tuk. Works in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and most tourist areas.

People also asked...

When is the cheapest time to visit Thailand?

Flights and hotels are cheapest during the green season (May to October). Rain usually comes in short afternoon bursts and the rest of the day is warm and sunny - you'll get lower prices and fewer crowds. Peak season (November to February) has the best weather but higher prices. May, June and October tend to hit the sweet spot of decent weather and lower costs.

How much spending money do I need for a week in Thailand?

If you've gone all-inclusive, you'll barely need to dip into your wallet - £50-100 per person covers a week of excursions, massages and souvenirs. On B&B or room-only, budget £100-200 per person for food, drinks, transport and activities should cover it unless y6ou want to really live it up. Street food costs £1-2 per meal, a beer in a bar is £1.50-2, and a Thai massage is about £5-8. Thailand is genuinely one of those places where your spending money goes embarrassingly far.

How long is the flight to Thailand from the UK?

About 10-12 hours direct from London. Bangkok is the main hub (around 11 hours), with short domestic connections to Phuket (1.5 hours) or Koh Samui (1 hour). Some direct Phuket flights run from the UK too. It's longer than a European break but the value once you're there more than makes up for it.

Do I need a visa for Thailand?

No. UK passport holders get 60 days visa-free. Just turn up with your passport (valid for 6+ months) and you're in. You'll need to complete a Digital Arrival Card online before travel, but that takes about 5 minutes.

Is it cheaper to go to Thailand or a European beach?

The flight costs more (longer journey), but once you're there, Thailand is significantly cheaper than most European beach destinations. Street food, transport, massages and excursions cost a fraction of what you'd pay in Spain or Greece. A week's spending money in Thailand often costs less than three days in the Mediterranean. If you factor everything in, a fortnight in Thailand can cost a similar amount to a week in Europe - but you get twice the holiday.

Is Thailand good for families on a budget?

Proper good. Thai people love kids, the beaches are stunning, and activities like elephant sanctuaries, island boat trips and Thai cooking classes are all cheap and brilliant for families. Most beach resorts in Phuket and Khao Lak have kids' pools and family rooms, and eating out with children is easy because Thai restaurants are welcoming and the food is affordable even at tourist spots.
