1. Flights: The cost of flights can vary depending on your departure location, airline, and the time of year. However, as November is generally considered a shoulder season with lower airfare prices, we were able to find reasonably priced round-trip tickets. On average, flights from major international airports to Bangkok can range from $600 to $1,200 per person. However, it’s important to note that prices may fluctuate, so it’s recommended to book well in advance to secure the best deals.

2. Accommodation: Thailand offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit various budgets and preferences. From luxurious resorts and boutique hotels to charming guesthouses and budget-friendly hostels, there’s something for every couple. In November 2022, we found that accommodation prices were generally affordable, especially when booking in advance. On average, a mid-range hotel or resort can cost between $50 and $150 per night, while more luxurious options can range from $150 to $300 or more per night. If you are looking for the most budget-friendly stays, check out Airbnb, VRBO, or hostels where you can find accommodations for less than $50 a night!

3. Transportation: Getting around Thailand is relatively affordable, thanks to its efficient and well-connected transportation system. In major cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai, we relied on taxis, tuk-tuks, and public transportation like the Skytrain and Metro, which offered affordable fares. Local transportation costs vary, but as a general estimate, you can expect to spend around $1 to $5 per trip within the city.

For intercity travel, we found domestic flights to be convenient and reasonably priced. A one-way domestic flight ticket between popular destinations like Bangkok and Phuket or Krabi can cost between $50 and $100 per person, depending on the airline and season.

4. Food and Drinks: One of the highlights of honeymooning in Thailand is indulging in the mouthwatering local cuisine. From street food stalls to upscale restaurants, there’s a vast array of dining options to suit all budgets. On average, a meal at a local eatery can cost between $5 and $15 per person, while dining at a mid-range restaurant can range from $15 to $30 per person. Of course, prices can vary depending on the location and type of establishment. We enjoyed exploring street food markets, where we could sample a variety of delicious dishes at affordable prices.

5. Activities and Excursions: Thailand offers an abundance of activities and excursions to enhance your honeymoon experience. From exploring ancient temples and participating in cooking classes to island-hopping adventures and spa treatments, there’s something for every couple’s taste. Prices for activities can vary widely, but as a rough estimate, expect to spend between $20 and $100 per person for most excursions and experiences. It’s worth noting that some activities, such as visiting national parks or taking part in water sports, may have additional entrance fees or rental costs.

6. Miscellaneous Expenses: It’s always a good idea to budget for miscellaneous expenses such as tips, souvenirs, and unexpected costs. Tipping is not mandatory in Thailand, but it’s customary to round up the bill or leave a small gratuity for exceptional service. Souvenir prices vary, but you can find unique handicrafts, clothing, and local products at affordable prices, especially in markets. We recommend setting aside a small amount for miscellaneous expenses, usually around $10 to $20 per day per person.
