We often get asked: “Is travelling in Thailand affordable?” and “What’s the cheapest way to travel in Thailand?” One of the few countries with a favourable exchange rate, and one that allows South African passport holders to stay for up to 30 days visa-free, Thailand is a great choice for a wonderful holiday without stretching the budget too far.
As far as Thailand goes, there are plenty of islands and cities to explore. One of our consistent favourites is Phuket, as it offers a little bit of everything. From a vibrant nightlife in Patong Beach and an interesting city experience in Phuket Town itself, there’s no shortage of things to do. And for those looking for somewhere to spend their days on white sandy beaches and crystal clear water, there are plenty of spots for swimming and diving around the island. Check out some of our best Phuket holiday packages, or get in touch with an agent to plan your ideal Thailand holiday package.
Immerse yourself in the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of Bali, Indonesia. Indonesia is another country with a favourable exchange rate to the Rand, and Bali offers great high-value budget-friendly accommodation, delectable cuisine, and a paradise of beaches. Uncover the magic of this island paradise without compromising your wallet.
Venture into the heart of vibrant Vietnam, where history, culture, and affordability converge. The Vietnamese Dong’s friendly exchange rate ensures that your Rand stretches far, allowing you to explore bustling markets, ancient temples, and serene landscapes without breaking the bank. From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, there’s so much to love and explore in Vietnam. From the food to the wonderful people, this is one country you’ll find yourself returning to again and again.
This sometimes forgotten destination also has one of the more favourable exchange rates for South Africans. Discover the wonders of Cambodia, home to the iconic Angkor Wat, and the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, and so much more. An easy to apply for E-Visa is your ticket to explore the ancient ruins, vibrant markets, and warm hospitality of this Southeast Asian gem.
With so many Asia holiday packages available, you’re spoilt for choice. Social 18 to 35 year olds should check out a Contiki trip, while others might like a G Adventures tour or even a Royal Caribbean cruise. Whichever route you decide to take, our experienced Travel Advisors can help you every step of the way.
South Africans hold a golden ticket with the current exchange rates, especially when it comes to Southeast Asia. The landscapes of Bali, the cultural tapestry of Vietnam, the hidden treasures of Cambodia, and the exotic allure of Thailand present a canvas of experiences waiting to be painted by the South African traveller. As you plan your 2024 adventures, let us guide you through the vibrant landscapes and warm cultures of Asia, ensuring your journey is not only memorable but also budget-friendly.
