Bangkok in £490s-£500s rtn

Get ready to beat the high season crowds!

By the end of October, the monsoon rains have eased up and life in Bangkok starts to feel a little less sticky.

And luckily, these dates are timed just over that little window of bluer skies, lush jungles, and footprint-free beaches before the dry season visitors descend in late November. 

If you can resist hopping straight onto a £7 flight to Phuket (yes, domestic flights are really that cheap), don't miss out on a day trip to Khao Yai National Park.

At this time of year, it's a blanket of greenery sheltering elephant families, bat-filled caves, and even movie-famous waterfalls.
