Is Thailand Getting Expensive for Indians? The Honest 2026 Answer

Every Indian traveler who went to Thailand a decade ago has a version of the same sentence: "it used to be so cheap." They are not wrong. And every Indian traveler booking Thailand in 2026 deserves an honest answer, not a nostalgic one. The baht has strengthened. Popular islands cost more than they used to. But "more expensive than 2015" and "expensive" are two very different claims — and conflating them is costing Indian travelers the chance to book a trip that is still, by any global standard, exceptional value.
