Breaking into the region’s hotel booking website business is a tall order when you’re so late to the game. Still, popular American travel deal portal Expedia (www.expedia.co.th), who just introduced their Thai website does at least offer a one-stop shop, where you can not only book your hotel but also your air tickets, or do both together. They claim it’s a cheaper solution, as well as more hassle free. According to our research, if you book a flight-with-room deal to Phuket you could get anywhere from B1,000-10,000 discount, depending on your hotel. Rates are calculated in Thai Baht and there are more than 400 airlines and 145,000 hotels participating across the world.
