Short-haul
Thailand
Thailand is the trip most Indian travellers take first, and for good reason. Short flights, familiar food, warm hospitality and a rupee that stretches comfortably. Bangkok gives you markets and rooftop bars, Phuket and Krabi give you the Andaman Sea, and Chiang Mai gives you a slower, greener north.
From ₹65,000 per person
Best time to go
November to February — dry, cool and ideal for island hopping.
Flight time
About 4h from Delhi, 4h 20m from Mumbai, 3h 30m from Kolkata.
Visa
Visa-free entry for Indian passport holders (short stays).
Visa turnaround
No application needed — cleared at immigration on arrival.
Money & forex
Cards work in malls and hotels, but markets, tuk-tuks and island cafes are cash-first. Carry a forex card plus around ฿5,000–8,000 in cash per person; exchanging INR to THB is usually better done in Bangkok than at Indian airports.
