Why now
The fare is $1,361 per person, or $2,721 for two, which is $208 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's 13% under the top of the 12 offers we checked. Add 9 nights at the Old Town pick and its $13 property fee and the total comes to $2,990 for two. Checked bags and spending money aren't included. Late November falls in Bangkok's cool, dry season, which is also the main tourist peak. Typical highs run 86–89°F with lows near 73°F, and the days tend to be overcast. November is also the month of Loy Krathong, when people set candlelit floats on the river under the full moon. Keep in mind that the trip there takes time: you leave Saturday evening and land Tuesday morning. That leaves you the rest of the week for temples, canals and night food. Prices are as we found them and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city and food trip for two. Mornings go to temples, afternoons to canal boats and markets, and evenings to street-food stalls in Chinatown or a rooftop bar. It suits couples or friends who like to walk, eat and stay out late, and who are fine with heat in the high 80s. The pace is as busy as you make it, and there's room for a slow afternoon by the river.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Yes, if you can live with the trip there. The fare is $208 per person below the highest fare we saw, and the weather is dry and in the high 80s. The catch is 3 stops and 92h 43m of total travel time round trip, so you don't land until Tuesday, Nov 24.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$2,990 for two, with taxes and fees included. That covers $2,721 in flights, $256 for 9 nights at BAO Giant Swing - เบา ศาลเจ้าพ่อเสือ and a $13 property fee. Checked bags, about $240 for two, aren't included, and neither is spending money.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. Thailand requires a passport, so check that yours is ready well before Saturday, Nov 21.
What is the weather like?
Late November is Bangkok's cool, dry season. Typical highs are 86–89°F and lows are near 73°F, and the days are mostly overcast. It's also the main tourist peak.
Is 9 nights enough?
The hotel is booked for 9 nights, but you land at 11:05 AM on Tuesday, Nov 24 and fly home at 12:15 PM on Nov 30. Your time on the ground is shorter than the dates suggest. That's still enough for the temples, the canals, Chinatown and Chatuchak.
Which airline is it, and is it nonstop?
It's F9 + OZ, and it isn't nonstop. There are 3 stops, and the round trip takes 92h 43m of travel time in total. Flights arrive at Suvarnabhumi (BKK).
