Had an amazing Thailand deal that reminds me of pre-COVID pricing - 10 nights with seriously flexible booking windows. As someone who usually sticks to cruises (currently planning my 15th Royal Caribbean sailing), I'm actually tempted to swap my usual Phuket port stop for a proper land adventure. The pricing is honestly comparable to what I'd pay for a balcony cabin on a 7-night Asian cruise, but with way more time to explore.
What really caught my attention is how the package lets you pick your dates pretty freely, which is rare for these bundled deals. Having done several Asia cruises that dock in Thai ports, I can tell you that shoulder season (May-June, Sept-Oct) often has the best value - you'll deal with some rain but get amazing hotel rates. While I'm still a die-hard cruiser, these flexible land packages are making me rethink my usual 'see everything from the ship' approach. The extended time in one country actually sounds pretty appealing for a change.
