The deal: A nine-day jaunt through Thailand – three nights each in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket – with airfare and hotels included for as low as $1,765 per person (based on group of two).

When you’ll go: Dates are open, but the quoted price is for a September 16 departure from Los Angeles International Airport.

Why we love it: From shopping to nightlife to beaches to culture, you’ll get the best Thailand has to offer, with enough time to explore all of it, for a great price (taxes are included). TripMasters doesn’t structure the daily itineraries but does offer excursions for each destination, so you can pack in as much or as little sightseeing as you want.

What you can do: In Bangkok, spend your days sampling fresh local fruits and fish at the Damnernsaduak Floating Market or touring such temples as Wat Pho and Wat Tramitr, and when the sun goes, explore the city’s vibrant nightlife in such neighborhood as Sukhumvit and Siam. Chiang Mai is a cultural hub that houses more than 300 temples, and you won’t have time for all of them, but you can try. Phuket boasts spectacular beaches and classic boat trips such as the picturesque island chain of Ko Phi Phi and Khao Phing Kan, aka “James Bond Island.”

How long does this last? Until July 25 (subject to availability).
