$699USD vacation to BKK from JFK includes airfare

[BigDUSA 71]

For $699 per person, the lowest priced Thailand deal we've ever seen, this six night vacation includes airfare and a stay at a genuine 4-star hotel (we checked) in downtown Bangkok -- past travelers love the location.

What you need to know:

• You read that right: $699 covers air, hotel, breakfast, transfers and taxes. At this price, you could even skip a few nights in Bangkok and book overnight trips in cities nearby.
• Most flights are on a 4-star or 5-star airline if you fly out of LA or NYC.
• This deal includes September departures, when there are fewer crowds because it's the end of monsoon season, and October-December dates, the best time to visit.
• A week is a lot of time in Bangkok, so side trips are a must. We recommend the ruins at Ayutthaya, the rose garden and an elephant sanctuary in Samphran, Amphawa floating market and Koh Kret island.

Depart: Sept. 27(NYC only); Oct. 25; Nov. 22; Dec. 6.

This deal is priced for departures from Los Angeles and New York City; travelers can take $150 off departures May-December from all major U.S. gateways. Single supplements are also available.

If you're going all the way to Thailand, you might want to make this a longer trip by adding three nights on the beaches of Phuket and intra-Thailand air to see a different side of the country. Pricing starts at +$500 per person on Aug. 30 from Los Angeles; additional dates and gateways are available.

Hotel Details

The 4-star Centra Central Station Hotel in Bangkok is a five-minute walk from the Golden Buddha Temple and across from the Hua Lamphong metro station. Traditional Thai massages are offered at the full-service spa. Past travelers rave about the location and ease of getting around.

Book by April 8. Top 20 deal – sells out quickly.

Sounds like a good deal, but I would never go that far and only stay one week. Hell, it takes me one week to get over the jet lag.

Does it mean they'd have to follow a flag each night?
