Who could describe the trip as a savage from personal experience? How much and how??
They just say it turns out cheaper and without any problems. And what kind of problems can appear?

By a savage, I mean, to buy a room on your own upon arrival at the hotel.
аватар Z-T-M
I am also interested in this question. Only we decided to pre-book a room on this site http://www.booking.com
But can anyone suggest a better site...
We also want to fly like this for the first time, without a tour operator ...

Look at the site "Ivan Susanin".
аватар Viltis
I agree with the tour, Ivan Susanin offers good tours in Thailand. You just need to get there. And the choice of tours there is huge, for every budget.

booked in advance on agoda.com, something did not smile at the prospect of running around hotels with suitcases, and we went during the high season

3s68rapt is a savage when you book a flight and hotels on your own, the sites have already suggested to you. I will send you a personal site where there is a map and a description of the beaches of Phuket, so it will be easier to navigate. A good and inexpensive hotel at Kata Country House 3 * to the sea is 5-10 minutes, depending on who walks (if you go to shops, then more) at the exit from the hotel on the right there is a shop, a cafe from 1 to 10 minutes to the left or right, behind corner massage parlor, left the market for 5 minutes on foot, the hotel itself is very green, the rooms are good, the staff is attentive, there is enough entertainment. Take excursions also in local firms, the programs are similar to those of TO, but the prices are better.

Independent travel is the cost of preparation time and this is done in two cases:
1. You are not satisfied with the offers of tour operators and you want an individual program. know how to search for information and can organize your own leisure time.
2. you want to reduce the cost of the trip and feel the freedom. love communication and unpretentious in everyday life. (my case)
The first option can be quite costly. The second option is feasible only with large time costs. that is, cheap flights must be bought in advance, hotels booked for promotions that you need to watch and look for.
my own experience of two independent travels in Southeast Asia suggests that it is better to travel in several countries at once and for at least 3 weeks. only in this case there is an economic benefit.
although, perhaps, the issue of money is not relevant for you. I don’t know your motivation for such a question, but I advise you to travel on your own, use foreign airlines, live in small family hotels and be open to everything new. good luck!

Another booking site is Sawasdee. Yes, there are no special problems - the main thing is inexpensive flight tickets.
аватар Viltis
I also know the third case when it is more profitable to plan the trip yourself :-)
This is when tickets to Thailand (Montenegro, Crimea, toshchoo) are bought in the same place and for the same transport as the tourist. Often, TO has more expensive tickets (for example, I overpaid Artex for tickets 262 hryvnias for two, if I took tickets at the box office, it would be cheaper) And when the country does not provide difficulties and dangers, and when a visa is not needed, or it is issued at the airport . In this case, a tourist can independently take tickets at the box office and fly (go) on vacation without an agency, put an arrival stamp on the spot (or buy a visa) and use either their communication skills and knowledge of the language, or the host, right there they will meet him . Or private contacts (and there are more than enough offers from emigrants living in other countries).

Tickets at the box office Kyiv - Bangkok - 1000 dollars, for the same flight at TO-800 dollars.
аватар Viltis
Tell me, please, which TO has tickets for 800? I'm going to Thailand in January looking for cheap tickets. And what is included in the tour, which hotel? Transfer? Tours? What is the total cost of the tour?
Thanks
аватар Viltis
I can duplicate my request in a personal, I am very interested in the issue of buying tickets. The fact. that there are very few flights from Kyiv, all regular, tickets are sold to all TOs and individuals at the same price, all the agencies I contacted sell tours without a flight, the flight is paid separately. I can buy tickets myself or through them, it doesn't matter. The price is one.
If you know where the $800 tickets are, please write. Since I have an alternative - to fly through Moscow, and I am terribly afraid of Domodedov.
аватар Oleksii64
The prices are March for April, starting from April to November, prices are moderate (low season). In winter, prices are 20-30% higher, New Year is 50 percent, it seems that there is a failure in the price at the end of January. If you take tickets on your own, try the aviasales search engine and the like. Some TO fly through Ashgabat - cheaper by 10%, but not comfortable. The TO, where direct tickets are 800, had tickets for 650 for May through the Emirates for several days in March. By winter, I think there will be some other options.
There are hundreds of hotels to choose from. Transfer, 2 free tours (Pattaya), backpack and SIM card. THAT in a personal.
аватар Viltis
Aha thanks a lot. That's exactly what I thought :-(
аватар Oleksii64
Last year there was a share of Aerosvit in February for April-May 500 dollars with a free sale of about 860, but this year there was no action. For the winter, the action was, if I'm not mistaken, about 2 years ago somewhere in August. It's very unreliable. But suddenly you're lucky.
With a transfer, you can look for Emirates tickets, I think the UAE could be a good alternative to flying through Moscow. But that's it, wishlist :)
аватар Viltis
The action was, "Crazy Friday" - $ 450 round trip on Fridays. I'm really looking forward to something like this. Unfortunately, only Aerosvit flies from Kyiv. Here are the prices:
Everything else - starting from UAH 13,000.
I really want to celebrate 45 years in Thailand, it’s such a ball :-) Everything adds up, but, crap tickets are expensive for us .. there is no alternative because, here Aerosvit is showing off ..
аватар Lina23S
At the moment there are tickets through Dubai for $780 from 10 to 25.01.2013 and from 17.01 to 01.02.13. Kyiv-Dubai flies UIA, and Dubai-Bangkok Emirates. I'll send the site link in PM.
аватар Viltis
Lina, thank you very much. Only there is no UIA, and the price is without fees, so many of them write, they set the price cheap, but they don’t write fees, but they are high.
The alternative is Aeroflot, via Sheremetyevo. I'm afraid of this Moscow as a war .. How long to sit there? hour?
I am seriously considering an excursion from the Singapore-Bali Fairy as an alternative option. 1600 from the nose with flights, hotels and excursions.. I don't like group holidays, but maybe worth it..
аватар Lenuskina
Dear topikstarter, how are you going to go abroad to multilingual infidels on your own if you are afraid of the Russian airport? Is your English better than Russian?
аватар Viltis
I’m not a topicator, but I’m afraid not of the Russian airport, but of Moscow, I just don’t want to get into another terrorist attack, and not only of the airport, I’m afraid of Moscow itself, they often blow up there ..
And I’m going abroad far from the first dozen times, somehow we’ll deal with multilingualism :-)
аватар Amir1
see tickets on the website www.fly.kiev.ua
They have the cheapest prices and all fees and taxes are included. Yesterday I booked for tourists through the Emirates for $ 720 round trip. The same price and through Moscow. Depends on the date of departure. If less than a month is left before the date, the price will be higher.
The hotel can easily be booked on all the above sites. If you book through the Savazdi system here
http://amira.com.ua/index.php/online
then meeting at the airport, transfer to Pattaya and back will be free.
There is no difference between a tour and an independent trip (in dangers and organization). The host representative will only meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel. Then take it from him. Tour operators do not do any more problems and answers to questions in Thailand. So don't expect any support. Unless you will be served by locals. Among them there are companies that bring toilet paper for free when it is over :))))))))))
аватар Lina23S
Viltis checked again the fee is included there
(in Bangkok choose VKK):
Ticket price for each passenger including taxes
Adult (5727.00 Base fare + 366.00 Airport taxes): 6093.00 UAH
Service fee: 80.00 UAH
Flight 373-372 out and 373-374 back.
Aeroflot I flew to Tai twice and very well, I chose tickets with a normal connecting time and spent it in the duty station. Upon arrival in Moscow, you immediately get to the second floor of the airport and go straight to the transit zone through the security screening, there you and a few dutiks and a cafe and a waiting room, in short, a couple of hours pass unnoticed.
аватар Viltis
Linda, thank you so much!! To bookmarks:-)
аватар Amir1
Lina, are you looking for tickets there, where am I or not?
аватар iunik
for January there are tickets through Dubai at 750 (time between flights 6.5-15.5 hours) and 773 (time between flights 4.5-6.5 hours). I monitor tickets on aviasales.ru
аватар Amir1
But what, on the Russian site, flights from Ukraine are cheaper? How to pay?
аватар Oleksii64
I didn’t buy, but apparently I pay like everywhere else - with a card. If I call it correctly, this is an aggregator site that collects the most interesting prices for purchased tickets.
For April for 2-3 weeks, i.e. now there were tickets for 750-770 dollars through Milan, Abu Dhabi and through Istanbul.
аватар iunik
I am clarifying. I was looking for tickets on aviasales.ru, but I bought them on aviakvitok.com. Any form of payment.
аватар Lina23S
Viltis please big)))) I hope everything will work out and you will celebrate your name day in Tae, it's so great, I really wanted to celebrate the day of jam there myself.)))
Amir1 Tol I looked at the sambuca and where you are there is not much difference in price, the main thing is that you have time to book tickets and the price has not changed.
