Trade kia ora for sawadee ka by jumping on one of the many cheap flights to Thailand from New Zealand. They jet out of big cities like Auckland and Christchurch every day for the Land of Smiles. Once you're on the ground, there are plenty of options for that perfect vacay. You could whiz straight into town, for soy-topped pad Thai noodles amid the heady haze of markets down Khaosan Road.

Or, you could go north, to a mystical land of mountaintop temples and amazing shrines, wild forests and roaming elephants!
