Is it possible to travel to Thailand without a ticket?
They say that it is much cheaper to buy plane tickets here, and then check into a hotel there. Is it true?

Of course it is possible and even necessary! it turns out cheaper, more mobile. Book a flight (for example, Kyiv-Tashkent-Kyiv, $850) and a hotel online (www.sawasdee.com, you can pay there), pack your bags and go! Or you can not book a hotel at all, but simply choose and pay for everything on the spot.

Well, it's so easy to say ... And what's in place? So you arrive, and what and how next? And the language barrier? I was in Thailand on a group tour, and I won’t dare to go separately. A huge airport where even with an escort you can get lost. Where and how to buy tickets if, say, you want to move to the Phuket area? And how to "not get" with the hotel? For example, in Pattaya, we stayed in a pretty decent hotel, but it turned out that this is a favorite place for people with a non-traditional orientation. In short, the sea of ​​nuances. And where can you find them?

Tour operators have big discounts on hotel accommodation. Therefore, I recommend buying an air ticket yourself if you have airline discounts, and booking a hotel through Sanklod. This is the cheapest tour operator in Thailand because it's local. To be honest, tour operators practically do not earn on air tickets, you can check their ticket prices on airline websites.

Only on your own!

It is possible and necessary.
Don't be afraid to travel alone. You need to know the minimum set of English phrases. right at the airport there are a lot of free guides and maps. Hospitable Thai people will always help. In addition, you can always fall on the tail of a Russian-speaking group that travels, for example, to Pattaya. Have a nice holiday!

stella_kris: what does tashkent have to do with it? only Ukrsvit flies from ukraine to thai, and there is a direct flight kiev-bangkok-kiev ...
аватар Bear-cub
Sorry, typo, Aerosvit, well, you understand

Amir1: hotels in Thailand are very cheap, but Ukrainian operators double the price. There is no point in paying. When we rested (in August), there were 30% of free rooms in hotels. You go to the reception, pay and check in.

We are going on our own for the second time (the first was through a travel agency). The layout is as follows: a round-trip ticket from $850 (Curve flight). Accommodation from 600 r (for two, per room. The room has air conditioning, TV, shower, refrigerator, 50 m from the sea (in Pattaya)). Taxi from the airport to Pattaya - 1000r (for the whole car). Consider the economy yourself. We get about 1300 per person (without pocket). Hotels and mini-hotels - the sea. When traveling alone, of course, you will have to do everything yourself. . . But, if you are ready to pay $ 4,000 per person for 14 days per person for the New Year, this is your business. There is nothing to fear, everything is safe. Scooter rental - 120 rub/day. To get to the island, I won’t say which one (Excuse me, but we saw only 4 of our compatriots there, and that’s great)))) - 700 rubles per person. This time we are going to 10 compatriots and 2 foreign citizens with citizens. . . Eat. . . . well, from $ 5 - have breakfast, 10 (for two) - have lunch, etc. Free fruits. Minimum knowledge of English is welcome. Well, and most importantly, when traveling independently - you decide where and when you go, where to live and what to do. . . Good luck! There will be questions - write to ICQ, I will be happy to advise

I do not agree with those who advise not to book a hotel, but to search and pay on the spot. Very often in hotels the price is MUCH higher than if you book online. Great site for booking hotels around the world
www.agoda.ru This is an American site, there is a Russian version. You won't find anything cheaper than there. (Although not everywhere). And to go to Tai yourself is elementary.
аватар Deniskro
The fact is that not all hotels in Thailand are presented on the Internet, even on agoda.com. There are about 30% maximum. Although, of course, you can book through the Internet if you trust the information about your card to the Internet.
аватар verdandi
I agree, there are several times more choices on sawadee than on agoda. And information about Tae is also a sea. This is exactly what the solo traveler needs.
аватар verdandi
1ean: no need to be afraid, tour operators make up to $2000 in 2 weeks on your fears :)
If you book a hotel on the same sawadee, you can order a taxi from the airport, so that you will be met and immediately taken to where you need to go. Or you can save money by taking a taxi already at the airport, but then you need to have the address of the hotel or area in Bangkok where you are going to, in order to explain where to go.
As for tickets to the islands, for example, Phuket, if you have a credit card, you can easily buy them via the Internet on the website of Thai Airways or Bangkok Airways, for any date and time. An electronic ticket will be sent to you by e-mail - and you're done. Exactly the same ticket tour operators will be happy to sell you more expensive one and a half times (at least here in Moscow it turns out that way).

Of course it's cheaper to fly when you organize your own tour.
аватар dreiw
and then it all depends on what you want to do - if you travel around the country, see the sights, it's better to do it yourself. what and where to watch-awd.ru. on this forum, read reviews and tips on different types of recreation for independent tourists

Yes
аватар baurjan777
fly alone - everything will be fine
аватар 57888
I advise you to fly from Moscow, much cheaper than from Kyiv! In December we flew for 500 ye per person for 15 days! This is on fire, and so the standard prices from Moscow are 800 euros per person with everything! Much cheaper than from Kyiv, and everything is organized. I personally would never risk traveling alone. Moreover, it is not such a saving if you fly from Moscow for 800 ye, or for 850 just buy a ticket and pay for everything else. Who needs help, please help.
