About Big Event Travel
Big Event Travel is an independent Thailand travel website helping travellers find affordable flights, suitable hotels and practical information for planning a better trip.
Whether you are searching for cheap flights to Bangkok, comparing hotels in Phuket or wondering when to visit Ko Samui, our aim is to make the planning process clearer, simpler and less overwhelming.
From a General Travel Website to a Thailand Specialist
Big Event Travel originally covered destinations and travel services around the world. Over time, however, it became clear that our most useful knowledge, strongest content and greatest passion were all connected to Thailand.
The website has therefore evolved into a dedicated resource for Thailand flights, hotels, destinations and travel advice.
This clearer focus allows us to create more detailed guides covering the questions travellers genuinely ask—from choosing the right airport and comparing flight routes to understanding Thailand’s seasons, transport and everyday costs.
Travel Advice Based on Real Experience
I’m Richard, the creator of Big Event Travel, and I live in Thailand.
Living here provides a very different perspective from visiting for a short holiday. It means experiencing the country’s transport, weather, banking, mobile networks, accommodation and everyday costs first-hand.
Big Event Travel combines this personal experience with careful research and regularly updated travel information. The purpose is not to present an unrealistic picture of Thailand, but to explain both the advantages and the practical details travellers need to understand.
Thailand is an extraordinary country, but planning your visit properly can make an enormous difference to the cost and quality of your holiday.
What You Will Find on Big Event Travel
Our guides cover the main stages of planning a trip to Thailand:
Flights to Thailand
Compare routes from the UK, USA and other international departure points. Learn about direct and stopover flights, airline choices, seasonal prices, journey times and the principal airports serving Thailand.
Thailand Hotels
Discover accommodation ideas for Bangkok, Phuket, Ko Samui, Pattaya, Krabi, Chiang Mai and other popular destinations. Our guides cover everything from affordable guesthouses and convenient city hotels to beachfront resorts and luxury stays.
Thailand Destinations
Explore Thailand’s cities, islands and beach resorts before deciding where to stay. Destination guides include practical information about airports, transport, neighbourhoods, attractions and the type of traveller each location suits.
Practical Thailand Travel Advice
Prepare for your visit with information about the Thailand Digital Arrival Card, entry requirements, SIM cards, money, banking, local transport, weather and the best times to travel.
Living in Thailand
For people considering a longer stay, Big Event Travel also covers subjects such as the cost of living, opening a Thai bank account and some of the practical realities of everyday life in Thailand.
Helping You Find Better Value
Travel prices change constantly, and no single airline, hotel or booking website is always the cheapest.
Big Event Travel provides practical advice and comparison tools to help you research your options. We encourage travellers to consider the complete cost of a booking, including baggage, airport transfers, hotel location, journey time and cancellation conditions—not simply the first advertised price.
Our flight and hotel links take you to established third-party travel providers where you can view current prices, check availability and complete your booking.
How Big Event Travel Makes Money
Some links on Big Event Travel are affiliate links.
If you follow one of these links and complete a booking or purchase, we may receive a small commission from the provider. This does not normally increase the price you pay.
Affiliate income helps support the cost of running the website, researching travel information and producing free Thailand guides.
We do not accept payment in return for deliberately misleading recommendations. When a page contains affiliate links, we aim to make this clear to our readers.
What Big Event Travel Does—and Does Not—Do
Big Event Travel is a travel information and affiliate website. We do not operate airlines, hotels, tours or transport services, and we do not process bookings or customer payments directly.
All reservations are completed on the website of the selected travel provider. Questions about an existing reservation, cancellation, refund or booking change should therefore be directed to the company through which the reservation was made.
We help you research and compare your options, but the final booking remains between you and the provider.
Our Promise to Readers
We aim to provide travel content that is:
- Clear and easy to understand
- Focused on genuine traveller questions
- Based on experience and careful research
- Transparent about affiliate relationships
- Updated when important information changes
- Honest about the advantages and disadvantages of different options
Flight schedules, prices, visa rules and entry requirements can change. We therefore encourage every traveller to confirm important details with the airline, booking provider or relevant government authority before travelling.
