Detailed 4-day cost breakdown (Standard tier, per person)

Round-trip flights — ₹22,000

Direct flights on IndiGo, Thai Airways, Vistara from Delhi/Mumbai/Bengaluru/Kolkata to Bangkok (BKK or DMK). Book 60 days out for ₹18,000–₹26,000. Bengaluru and Kolkata are usually cheapest.

Hotels (3 nights) — ₹9,000

2 nights in Pattaya (4★ near Beach Road) + 1 night in Bangkok (4★ in Sukhumvit). ₹3,000/night for couples = ₹1,500/person.

Visa — ₹2,400

Thailand e-Visa for Indians is ~2,000 THB (~₹4,800 round-trip if you do visa-on-arrival, ₹2,400 for e-Visa). E-Visa recommended.

Tours & activities — ₹7,500

  • Coral Island full-day with lunch & water sports: ₹2,800
  • Alcazar Show (Gold seats): ₹1,400
  • Safari World + Marine Park: ₹2,200
  • Bangkok temple tour with guide: ₹1,100

Food — ₹6,000

Most packages include daily breakfast. Lunches/dinners outside: ₹400–₹800 per meal at decent restaurants. Street food: ₹150 per meal. Indian/vegetarian food easily available in both cities.

Local transport, tips, SIM, water — ₹2,500

Standard total: ₹49,400–₹68,000 per person

How much spending money for shopping?

Most Indians spend ₹15,000–₹40,000 extra on shopping. MBK, Platinum Mall, Chatuchak Weekend Market are the hotspots. Carry USD or Thai Baht — ATM withdrawals cost 220 THB per transaction.

Best time for a 4-day Thailand trip

November–February = peak (best weather, highest prices). March–May = hot but cheap. June–October = monsoon, 30% cheaper, afternoon showers.

How to save 20–30% on your Thailand trip

  • Book Tuesday or Wednesday departures — flights drop ₹4,000+
  • Choose Don Mueang (DMK) airport for AirAsia/IndiGo — 30% cheaper than Suvarnabhumi (BKK)
  • Skip Safari World (₹2,200/person) if you've seen one in India already
  • Use Grab app instead of taxis — saves 40%
  • Book pre-paid bundles via tour operator vs walk-in (saves ₹2,500/person)

Hidden costs to watch for

  • Tuk-tuk "free city tour" scams — always shopping traps
  • Beach chair rentals at Pattaya — ₹150 per chair
  • "Tiger temple" or animal selfies — ethically problematic, usually overpriced
  • Late check-out fees — most hotels strict on 12 PM

Compare Thailand 4 days vs other short trips

4-day Thailand at ₹52,000 is similar in cost to Bali (4 days) at ₹65,000 and Dubai (4 days) at ₹60,000 — but Thailand wins on shopping value and food variety. For pure beaches, choose Bali. For shopping + nightlife + temples, Thailand wins.
