Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do Thailand in ₹30,000 total budget from India?
Yes, easily. A ₹30,000 total budget covers: return flights (₹11,000–₹14,000 from Delhi), 4-star hotel for 4 nights (₹8,000–₹10,000 for room), and ₹6,000–₹9,000 for food and local transport. Book the package through Voyage-Ed for ₹16,999–₹18,999 all-in (flights+hotel+transfers) and you'll have ₹11,000–₹13,000 left for food, shopping, and activities. Thailand is genuinely one of the most affordable international destinations for Indians.
Is it cheaper to book Thailand package or flight+hotel separately?
Packages are almost always cheaper. Travel agencies like Voyage-Ed have negotiated hotel rates and consolidated flight inventory that's unavailable on booking.com or MakeMyTrip. A Bangkok 4★ hotel costs ₹3,500–₹4,500/night retail but ₹1,800–₹2,200/night in package contracts. For 4 nights that's a ₹7,000–₹9,000 saving on hotel alone, plus agency flight deals. Book packages for 4+ night trips.
How much spending money should I carry for 5 days in Thailand?
Budget ₹8,000–₹15,000 spending money for 5 days (excluding hotel and flights which are covered in package). This covers: meals ₹3,000–₹5,000, local transport ₹1,500–₹2,500, shopping ₹2,000–₹5,000, activities/tours ₹1,500–₹3,000. Thailand accepts cards widely — carry ₹3,000–₹5,000 in Thai Baht cash (exchange at airport or withdraw from ATMs there).
