What a Thailand trip really costs
This guide breaks down a 5 nights / 6 days Thailand trip into flights, stay, food, transport and activities, per person with two travellers sharing a room. It is written for travellers across India, not for one departure city, so flight costs are shown as a range from a major metro.
All numbers are indicative planning figures in rupees. They are not quotes, and they change with season, hotel choice and how early you book. The best way to turn them into real numbers is to compare actual quotes for your dates.

| Food and drinks — Street food and malls through to restaurants | ₹5,000 | ₹8,000 | ₹15,000 |
| Transfers and tours — Bangkok–Pattaya or island transfers, city tours | ₹5,000 | ₹9,000 | ₹18,000 |

Entry requirements: Treated as ₹0 here because short stays have recently been visa-exempt. Check the latest rules before booking. Thailand has recently allowed Indian passport holders short tourist stays without a visa under an exemption scheme, and a digital arrival card is required before entry. The length of stay and the scheme have changed more than once, so check the official Thai sources before booking.

How season changes the cost of Thailand
November to February is the peak season, with higher prices around Christmas and New Year. April has the Songkran holiday with heavy demand. June to October is the rainy season and the cheapest, but sea trips can be rough on the Andaman coast.
| When | Conditions | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Nov – Feb | Cooler, drier, 24–32°C | Best weather; peak pricing around Christmas and New Year |
| Mar – May | Hot, 33–38°C | Beaches still fine; city sightseeing is tiring. Songkran water festival in mid-April |
| Jun – Oct | Monsoon, green and cheaper | Andaman side (Phuket, Krabi) can have rough seas; plan flexible island days |
How to spend less on Thailand
