Average Vacation Expenses in Thailand
-5.85%
— value growth in dollar since 2017
The value of the dollar has plummeted against the Thai Baht from mid-2017 to mid-2018 on the strength of Thailand’s export economy and steady tourism revenues, combined with continued uncertainty about U.S. policy, resulting in its worth being 5.85 percent less than it was this time last year. This, in combination with expensive flights and higher commodity prices than other nations in the region, makes Thailand a less affordable destination for the summer of 2018.
