What people love about Budget Tours in Thailand
- Ultimate Thailand in 10 Days - Ayutthaya / Khao Sok / Phuket
I and my friends just returned from my Thailand trip booked via Tourradar and PrestiGo Asia. Dat took care of us from the first day and I was surprised by his action, prompt response and all documents given to us in advance. They'll be available 24/7 for any case. The services and guide, all the hotels and resort were perfect. Don't hesitate to book it. Recommend
- 5 Days Explore Thailand.
STM booked a hotel for us and met us at Chiang Mai airport. We were booked on to three day-long tours, all of which were excellent. The guides and transport all worked well. As well as the amazing white temple and black house, we particularly enjoyed the river canoeing and the walk to a Karen village. Customer service was excellent too.
- Full Moon Party Pack
My trip included much more than was on my original itinerary. This was a bonus for me however it would be good if it was included in the original itinerary. I've had an amazing trip learning about the thai culture, partying and trying the thai food. Our tour leaders have been absolutely amazing for our trip. The full moon party was on my birthday and they arranged a cake and made the day extra special for me. They made sure everybody was aware what was going on each day. The trip involved so many fun activities which was great. The accommodation was really clean, tidy, and provided towels for everyone. The trip was great value for money as it included trips, meals and taxis. Overall I had an amazing trip and have now booked onto two more Tru Travels trips!
What our customers ask about Budget Tours to Thailand
When is the most affordable time to visit Thailand?
The green season from May to October offers the best value with accommodation and activity prices dropping 30-40%. This is most noticeable from June through September. Despite occasional afternoon rain showers destinations like Khao Sok National Park and the Gulf islands remain open and enjoyable. As one visitor shared on TourRadar: "visiting Koh Tao in September meant fewer crowds and better deals on snorkeling trips."
What are the best budget-friendly areas to stay in Thailand?
Budget travelers find good value in Bangkok's Khao San Road area the Old City of Chiang Mai with options like De Chame Hotel and Krabi's Ao Nang district. These areas combine affordable lodging with easy access to low-cost dining and attractions. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Staying near Khao San Road saved us lots of money - there were cheap restaurants everywhere and it was easy to walk to many attractions."
What are the most affordable activities included in budget tours?
Budget-conscious travelers can enjoy temple visits in Bangkok for 15-30 USD snorkeling excursions in Koh Tao for 40-60 USD and guided hikes in Khao Sok National Park ranging from 50-70 USD. As noted by a TourRadar participant: "The included 4 Islands Adventure tour in Krabi was excellent value covering transport lunch and snorkeling equipment."
What type of accommodation can I expect on budget tours in Thailand?
Budget tours typically place guests in 3-4 star properties such as the Centara Life Hotel Bangkok Phra Nakhon or Khao Lak Bayfront Resort. These accommodations offer air-conditioned rooms daily breakfast and basic amenities. A TourRadar guest at Rock and Treehouse Resort in Khao Sok shared: "The rooms were clean and comfortable with amazing views of the jungle surroundings."
How much should I budget for local transport not included in the tour?
Set aside 10-15 USD daily for independent travel in major cities. This covers tuk-tuks (3-5 USD per ride) local buses (1-2 USD) and occasional taxis. A helpful tip from a TourRadar traveler: "Using the included tour transport for main activities and budgeting 500 THB daily for getting around Bangkok independently worked well for us."
What's the average daily budget needed for meals not included in Thailand tours?
Plan for 15-20 USD per day for non-included meals. Street food costs 2-5 USD while restaurant meals range from 5-15 USD. Tour meal coverage varies for instance the Ultimate Thailand tour provides 9 breakfasts 7 lunches and 3 dinners across 23 days. One TourRadar traveler notes: "Food wise we spent a lot more than expected. The only food included is the welcome meal 2 lunches 1 dinner and 1 breakfast all on the raft house. Some of the full travel days you'll only eat snacks as there is no stopping for lunch!"
