Thailand In Xmas

Can anyone advise if it's cheaper to get flights/package holiday nearer the time or should I just try and book up now. Not everyone can provide prices. So far £2688.10 for flights only for 2ad and 2ch! If anyone has any advice on getting good prices or places to stay, doing package or booking flights and hotel separately that would be greatly appreciated!

    How old are the children?

    You have to remember Xmas is peak season in Thailand and extra peak becuase it is Xmas. What is your budget, what are you planning on doing, how long do you want to go for?

    Super-peak season flights won't get any cheaper. Not many ways around it.
