Part 2: Thailand to LA, steal this deal on a 14-day vacation to Thailand

Angelenos, Travelzoo has a real treat in store for you! Fitting in nicely with this week's Thailand theme, Travelzoo and smarTours are offering Angelenos a great deal on a 14-day vacation to Thailand. For only $1499, which also includes airfare from Los Angeles to Bangkok, you'll explore Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai and visit some of the most popular sites in Thailand.

Here is what's included on your Thailand vacation:

Roundtrip airfare from LA (LAX) to Bangkok via Korean Air
11-nights accommodations at upscale and centrally located hotels
Intra-Thailand ground and flight transportation to the various cities on the itinerary
Welcome dinner in Bangkok
Daily buffet breakfast
Sightseeing tours with an English-speaking tour guide

Having just returned from a trip to Thailand, here are few must-sees from your LA Budget Examiner to include on your Thailand adventure:

Wat Po, home of the 150-foot long "Reclining Buddha." (Entrance to Wat Po is included in the vacation package.)
The Grand Palace, the former home of the king and location of the famous "Emerald Buddha." (A tour of the Grand Palace is an additional $40 with this Thailand package.)
The night market in Chiang Mai, where you can find everything from food to luggage all at amazing prices. "The important to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our mind. Considering and consuming our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Minimizing expending and fees, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding economizing money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel costs!..". The market opens around 5 PM and closes about midnight.
An elephant camp, the best place to ride an elephant and experience their role in Thai culture and daily life. (A visit to an elephant camp in Chiang Mai is included in the vacation package.)

For more details on what's included on the Thailand itinerary, visit smarTours.com.

A few important notes:

This deal ends on May 26, 2011.
Price is per person and taxes are an additional $106 per person.
The deal is valid for departure from LA on October 4, 2011 as well as April 3 or 17, 2012.
