Is it possible to take a family on a nice vacation for less than $2500?

Question

It is myself my husband our three children ages 15, 11, & 3 and my 15 year old will be 16 in August so we are wanting to let her take a friend that is 16 and go somewhere nice but not spend a fortune! I would love to do a cruise or something but am not having any luck getting anything for less than $2500...is it possible??? Any tips would be great, we are not just wanting to take her to the closest beach where we always go which is Myrtle Beach we are wanting something special.

Answer 2

Seeing the sights in much of Thailand is relatively inexpensive. Even a visit to the Grand Palace in Bangkok or Wat Po only costs a couple hundred baht admission. Excursions are more costly, and most day trips are around 1500 - 2000 Baht. e.g. seeing the Bridge over the River Kwai and the Tiger Temple, a day trip to the temples of Ayutthaya, kayaking in Krabi, elephant trekking in Khao Sok etc.

Accommodation will be around 1000 baht a day if you want a proper hotel with a swimming pool and air conditioning. You can also book rooms with below sites, they usually have great discounts.

Airfares are cheap thanks to budget carriers like AirAsia.com and NokAir.com. One way flights to Chiang Mai and Phuket from Bangkok are around 2000 Baht including all taxes, which are usually more expensive than the flights themselves. There are also many special offers.

I'd recommend you to visit koh Phangan, it's one of most popular destinations in Thailand, and is well-known as a celebrated island that hosts the biggest beach full moon party! Superb coral reefs and underwater scenery are The great attractions of Phangan too.

Krabi is also a good choice. white beaches, emerald ponds, fascinating coral reefs, numerous large and small islands and verdant forests with caves and waterfallsand. you can enjoy a lot of marine sports such as scuba diving!! Cliff jumping in Koh Phi phi is fun, too. hope you will have a very special family trip.

Answer 5

I would contact a travel agent and let them know your budget. Their job is to help you plan a vacation around what you can spend and what you would like to do.

Answer 6

That is a tough budget.  Are there any nice hotels in your general area?  You could stay in the area and play "tourist".  Go out to eat, go to a movie, swim in the hotel pool and just forget where you are for a few days.  Cruises are very expensive, I doubt you could ever find one for 5 people for that price.  Disney World has an advertised package for 5 people for $3200 for 5 days at the Fort Wilderness Lodge. This includes your park hopper tickets!  I would contact a travel agent and go from there. Good luck.

i GO TO vrbo.COM (VACATION RENTALS BY PRIVATE OWNERS)  They have condos or hotels for real cheap because they are privately owned. I got a ocean front resort condo at myrtle beach for $950.00.I found cheaper ones that were not ocean front!  I also have 3 kids. This resort has lazy rivers, water park water slides and indoor and outdoor pools! But you can go anywhere you want. It has a map of US. and you click where you want to go.  And then they have websites from these private owners with pictures of the condo. I love it. By getting a condo with a kitchen, you can cook or do barbeques.That will save you money instead of eating out every night.  They also have houses for rent or cabins. They have 2-3 bedroom condos with 2 bathrooms. Cheaper than Hotels! . I love that website. CHECK IT OUT!!!

GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!
