Thailand tour packages from Chennai

Non-stop Chennai to Bangkok flights take about 3 hours 30 to 40 minutes, the shortest hop to Thailand from South India, with departures every day. Chennai has no non-stop to Phuket at present, so Phuket and Krabi are reached with one stop, usually through Bangkok.

Flights from Chennai leave from Chennai International Airport (MAA) at Meenambakkam. They are not part of the package price: the planner quotes them separately on request, so you choose the airline, the timing and the fare, and the trip starts from the airport transfer when you land.

With a non-stop of about 3 hours 35 minutes, a Chennai traveller loses only part of the first and the last day, so the 5- and 6-day plans are enough for a first visit; the longer ones add a second base or slower days.

6 plans fit that, from ₹27,250 per person: 5 Days Bangkok Pattaya Honeymoon Retreat (5D/4N, from ₹27,250); 5 Days Bangkok Pattaya Escape (5D/4N, from ₹28,499); 6 Days Phuket Bangkok Pattaya Getaway (6D/5N, from ₹32,000); 6 Days Phuket Krabi Getaway (6D/5N, from ₹33,999).

The holidays Chennai travels on, and what Thailand is like in those weeks:

• Pongal (mid-January): Thailand in January is the cool, dry peak season, with calm seas around Phuket and Krabi.
• Summer holidays (April and May): Thailand in May is hot, with the rains starting mid-month and hotel prices falling.
• The quarterly-exam break (late September to early October): Thailand in October is one of the wettest months in Phuket, Krabi and Bangkok, when island boat trips can be cancelled.
• Deepavali (October or November): Thailand in November is the start of the cool, dry peak season.
• Christmas and New Year: Thailand in December is the cool, dry peak season.

November to February is the cool, dry peak season: Bangkok is at its most comfortable, the sea around Phuket and Krabi is calm, and the islands stay good into April. March to May is hot, April most of all. The rains run from about mid-May to October and bring the lowest hotel prices; September and October are the wettest months in Phuket and Krabi, and in Bangkok too, when island boat trips can be cancelled; Maya Bay closes every year from 1 August to 30 September. Koh Samui and Koh Phangan get their heaviest rain from October to December.

Thailand packages from Chennai start at ₹27,250 per person: ₹27,250 for 5 days, ₹32,000 for 6 days and ₹39,750 for 7 days. That is a land package: the hotels, airport transfers, the sightseeing and activities listed on each trip page, and a planner on WhatsApp through the trip. Flights from Chennai are not included; they are quoted separately so you pick the airline and dates. Visa and entry fees are paid separately unless the trip page lists them.

Thailand is the easiest first holiday abroad from South India: visa-free entry for Indians (30 days, as of September 2026), non-stop flights of about four hours, Indian and vegetarian food in the main tourist towns, and city nights and island days in the same week. The price moves with the hotel category, the month and the group size, so share those three and you get an exact quote rather than a starting figure.

Visa: As of September 2026, Indian passport holders arriving on or after 15 September 2026 can enter Thailand for tourism without a visa and stay up to 30 days, down from the earlier 60. Fill in the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card online in the three days before you land, and carry a return ticket, your hotel booking, a passport with at least six months of validity left and enough money to show if immigration asks. For a longer stay, arrange a Thai e-visa before you fly, or ask an immigration office in Thailand for an extension of up to 30 days, which is at the officer's discretion and charged a fee. The rule has changed several times, so we recheck it before your travel date.

Money: Thai baht (THB). Cards are accepted in Bangkok's malls, hotels and larger restaurants, but street food, markets, tuk-tuks, island boats and national park fees are usually paid in cash. Indian debit and forex cards work at Thai ATMs, but Thai banks add a flat fee of about 250 baht a withdrawal (more on some cards) on top of your own bank's charges. India's UPI is not part of Thailand's cross-border QR payment scheme as of mid-2026, so do not count on paying by UPI.

The longer answers, one page each: what the whole trip costs from India, the visa rules for Indian passports, the best months, a day-by-day itinerary and the comparison people ask about most.
