Bangkok at $984 RT

Bangkok is back after a month of hiding and these new September dates are more mouth-watering than street food Pad Thai.

September falls at the very end of rainy season in SE Asia (meaning no floating market, sadly), but there's still plenty to do and see. Like a big Buddhist temple gilded in gold, another one of those, and oh yeah, maybe one more. 

And if those two weeks among temples sound like a bit too much, there are plenty of cheap mid-trip getaways available to make this a cheeky 2-in-1.
