Vacation in Thailand for seven nights for less than the cost of airfare with this package from Friendly Planet.

For $999 per person wander through ancient temples, drift along a floating market and see a 5-ton Golden Buddha.

This Taste of Thailand package saves more than $780 when compared to assembling components of this trip individually and includes:

• Roundtrip airfare to Bangkok from Los Angeles
• All transportation within Thailand
• Seven nights' hotel accommodations, including four nights in Bangkok, one night in Ayutthaya and two nights in the River Kwai
• Full American buffet breakfast daily and a traditional welcome dinner in Bangkok
• Guided tours in each city, including visits to many temples and the River Kwai
• Professional English-speaking tour director  

Depart May 11 or 16 to get the $999 price, or travel May 2 or 9 for $100 more. May is a great time to visit Thailand; the weather tends to be more mild as compared to travel during the rainy season (July-October). Eight other departure dates through April are also steeply discounted.

Final price will include $99 per person in taxes and fees.
