Thailand Holidays 2027
Extraordinary value, some of the world's best beaches and food, and an easy twin-centre structure — Thailand rewards a fortnight.
The classic trip is a few nights in Bangkok followed by a beach — Phuket, Krabi and Khao Lak on the west coast, Koh Samui on the east.
Which coast you choose depends on the month, because the two have opposite monsoons. We'll match your dates to the right side.
Our latest Thailand offers
Thailand holidays — your questions answered
Best areas to stay in Thailand
Bangkok — temples, markets, rooftop bars and superb hotels for the money — two or three nights. Phuket — the biggest choice of resorts; Kata, Karon and Bang Tao for families, Patong for nightlife. Krabi & Koh Yao — limestone scenery, calmer beaches and boat trips to Phi Phi. Khao Lak — long quiet beaches and the Similan Islands — the relaxed family choice. Koh Samui — east coast, so it's sunny when the west coast isn't; Chaweng and Bophut.
Best Thailand hotels for families
Our most-booked family hotels in Thailand are Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket, Outrigger Khao Lak Beach Resort, Melia Koh Samui and Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort Krabi. We match the hotel to your children's ages, tell you honestly which pools, kids' clubs and room types actually work for families, and can hold rooms while you decide.
Best all-inclusive hotels in Thailand
For all-inclusive we recommend Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket, Sensimar and Outrigger properties in Khao Lak, Amari Koh Samui packages and half-board plus resorts, which suit Thailand better given the local food. All-inclusive standards vary hugely — ask us and we'll tell you what's genuinely included (drinks brands, à la carte dining, snacks and sports) before you book.
Thailand holidays from London
We package Thailand holidays from London Heathrow and London Gatwick, with a choice of airlines, flight times and baggage options. Prices and availability change daily, so ask us for a live quote for your dates.
Thailand holidays from Manchester
Yes — we regularly book Thailand holidays from Manchester as well as London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Birmingham. Regional departures are often cheaper than London once you factor in parking and transfers to the airport, and we'll always price both for you.
Thailand holidays for teenagers
Thailand is a superb teen destination — island-hopping speedboats, snorkelling and diving courses, elephant sanctuaries (ethical ones only, and we'll point you to them), Muay Thai lessons and Bangkok's markets and rooftop pools.
Best time to visit Thailand
November to April is the dry season on the west coast (Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak) and the peak time to travel. Koh Samui runs on a different pattern — best from January to September, with its wettest weather in October and November. Bangkok is fine year-round.
Thailand airport transfers
Phuket Airport is 45–60 minutes to Kata and Karon, 25 minutes to Bang Tao, and 60–75 minutes to Khao Lak. Krabi Airport is 30 minutes to Ao Nang. Koh Samui's airport is 10–25 minutes from most resorts. Domestic flights between Bangkok and the beaches take about 75 minutes.
Thailand holiday prices
As a guide, 14 nights with flights, 3 nights Bangkok and 11 nights on a good 4- or 5-star beach from around £1,400–£2,000 per person; luxury resorts £2,500–£4,000 per person. Thailand's on-the-ground costs are low, which makes the total holiday spend very reasonable.
7-night Thailand holidays
Seven nights is short for the flight time but workable for one beach. Ten to fourteen nights is much better and lets you combine Bangkok with a beach, or two beaches.
Thailand holidays under £4,000
Very comfortably. Two people can do a full two-week Bangkok-and-beach twin-centre for under £4,000 in many months, staying somewhere genuinely good.
