The main reason why Thailand is so cheap to travel with a group is that the airfare is cheap, the food and accommodation are cheap, the visa is also cheap, and you are going with a group, the group price is even cheaper.
One is that domestic airfare to Thailand is cheap. AirAsia opened a lot of routes in the country, many southern provinces and cities to fly to Thailand airfare is often tax-inclusive price of only two or three hundred dollars, which is cheaper than most areas of the country to sit on an ordinary train sleeper! After arriving in Thailand, the travel agency only needs to arrange a tour bus to follow the whole trip. So, the transportation cost of this piece is actually not spend much money.
The second is the problem of food. We often see friends with group tours sunshine out of a big pot to eat crab photos, in fact, in Thailand originally seafood is cheap, they end a big pot of shrimp and crab, just like we end a big pot of cabbage out of the same. Only because our domestic seafood is expensive, so it feels as if the food is very good.
Third is the problem of accommodation. We can see that the group tour to Thailand's hotels look good, but in fact, they are all belong to the city and busy areas far away from the transportation is not convenient, so the price also belongs to the cheaper, but all aspects of the facilities in general is still relatively complete, so for tourists also belong to the better.
Fourth is the visa issue. Since the accident in Phuket last year, Thailand has been in the visa to give us preferential policies, so far this year have not been charged visa on arrival fee, which in turn for each person to save more than 400 yuan.
In summary, in fact, a trip to Thailand to live with a group of four or five days, then spend not much money, coupled with Thailand's tickets and very cheap, so even if you do not participate in the shopping store, the travel agency is also making money. And travel to Thailand, the guide is really not forced shopping, but, generally to the shopping point, the tourists simply do not need to guide persuasion, will take the initiative to buy.
Because Thailand does have a lot of things are belong to the cheap, and the quality of some of the goods than the domestic guarantee some, which also gives the travel agency and the guide to earn a point of opportunity.
So it's not that traveling to Thailand with a cheap tour is necessarily bad, if you just want to see a foreign country and do not have too much travel experience requirements, and worried about the language problem and economic problems, with the group tour is also a good choice. Thailand is a country rich in tourism resources, it is still worth going to see.
