Often forgotten

Not in the total. Confirm the fee and the route on the official portal before you book.

Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.
- Airport transfer · Arriving by air
The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.
- Travel insurance · An international trip
Medical cover abroad and trip cancellation. Priced by the insurer for your party and dates.
- SIM or eSIM · An international trip
Roaming or a local data plan for the days you are away.
- Tips and service charges · Any trip
Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.
- Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip
Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.

About Bangkok
Thailand's capital sprawls along the Chao Phraya river, and moving around it shapes the trip: the BTS Skytrain, MRT metro and river boats reach most of what visitors want, while traffic makes road journeys slow. Temples and the Grand Palace are ticketed, and street food is everywhere. Hot and humid year round, wettest from about May to October, coolest and driest from November to February.
