Thailand in the summer!

Hello friends....

I'm looking to go to thailand in the summer to meet up with some friends on a round the world trip!

I would like to go on the 2nd of august to the 23rd! I've been searching and ringing companies but the cheapest I can get is around £600 which seems a lot. Not sure if anyone has any suggestions or can find cheaper but any help would be great!

p.s. can go from anywhere in the UK and don't mind non-direct flights ect! Thanks Jac

    Have You Tried Cheapflights.co.uk I Usually Start There I've Been Over Loads Of Times For The Full & Half Moon Parties On Ko Panghan (not Sure How Old You Are Mate) But Its The Best Place In Thailand Unless U R A Bit Of A Dirty Old Git Then Go To Pataya (never Been Never Want To Go). Flights Are Usually Cheaper From London But If You Live Up North Like Me Its Only Usually A Bit More From Manchester. If You Are Really Short Of Cash There's A Chinese Or Tiwan Airline Called Oasis They Are Dirt Cheap & Go From Gatwick To Hong Kong Then Its Not To Expensive To Get A Connecting Flight To Bangkok.
    Good Luck.

    £600 for August isn't bad if it's including tax (about £180 these days).

    you wont get much better than £600,in the school summer hols (even though its the rainy season in thailand).
    iam also informed that the olympics are pushing the price of flights to thailand up.
    i also like to visit pattaya,but iam not dirty or old.
