Thailand and Bali Vacation Packages from the USA

A Thailand and Bali vacation package from Fond Travels combines two of Southeast Asia's favorite destinations in one trip without backtracking: fly from the US into Bangkok, enjoy the temples, food and a Thai island, take the four-and-a-half-hour flight to Bali, then fly home from Denpasar. Call +1 (323) 800 6001 at any hour, tell us your dates and US airport, and a travel expert plans and books the whole 12 to 16 day trip with you by phone.

Thailand and Bali pair naturally because they feel so different. Thailand gives you a vibrant capital, street food, grand temples and limestone islands, while Bali adds rice terraces, Hindu temple ceremonies, jungle villas around Ubud and surf or cliff-top beaches in the south. Both are warm and welcoming, English is common in tourist areas, and a direct flight links them. This guide covers a sample itinerary, open-jaw flights from the US, the months when both countries have good weather, a honeymoon version of the trip and the entry paperwork each country requires in 2026.

A 15-day Thailand and Bali itinerary

Most travelers spend 12 to 16 days on this trip, split roughly evenly between the two countries. The shape below uses open-jaw flights, into Bangkok and out of Bali, so you never retrace your steps. For a shorter trip we drop Chiang Mai.

Open-jaw flights from the US to Thailand and Bali

There are no nonstop flights from the United States to Thailand or Bali, so each direction connects once. We book the trip as an open-jaw ticket: from your US airport into Bangkok, and home from Denpasar. It usually costs about the same as a simple round trip and saves a day of backtracking. From the West Coast, the usual connections are Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong or Singapore, with 17 to 21 hours of total travel. From the East Coast and the Midwest, travelers also connect through Istanbul, the Gulf or a European hub, for about 20 to 26 hours. Gulf connections have seen schedule changes in 2026, so we confirm them close to booking.

The flight between the two countries is short. Bangkok to Bali takes about four and a half hours on direct flights, and Phuket also has direct service to Denpasar on some days, which lets you go straight from the Thai beaches to Bali. Inside Thailand, a one-hour domestic flight links Bangkok with Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi and Koh Samui. On Bali, travel is by road with a private driver, and traffic in the south can be slow.

When to go: the months that suit both countries

Thailand and Bali have different weather patterns, so the best dates depend on which parts of each country you want to see.

• June to August: the sweet spot for a combined trip. Bali is in its dry season, and Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Koh Samui on the Gulf side are usually fine, though Phuket and Krabi are in their rainy season. We match the Thai island to the month.
• April to October: Bali's dry season, with sunny days and lower humidity. July and August are Bali's busiest months, so book early.
• November to April: Thailand's Andaman coast, meaning Phuket, Krabi and Phi Phi, is at its best. Bali is in its wet season, when showers usually come in the afternoon and the rice fields are at their greenest.
• March to May: the hottest months in Bangkok and northern Thailand, so we plan city sightseeing for early mornings.

Watch for two dates. Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence, usually falls in March, and the whole island, including the airport, closes for 24 hours. Songkran, the Thai New Year water festival in mid-April, is great fun but busy, and hotels book up early.

What is included in the package

• Open-jaw international flights from your US airport into Bangkok and home from Bali, with baggage rules and seat options explained.
• The Bangkok to Bali flight and any Thai domestic flights, timed so connections are comfortable.
• Hotels in each stop, from boutique river hotels in Bangkok to jungle villas in Ubud and beachfront rooms in southern Bali.
• Private airport transfers, plus ferries or speedboats to the Thai islands where needed.
• Tours and experiences such as temple visits with a guide, a cooking class, island-hopping and a day with a Bali driver.
• Entry paperwork help: reminders for the Thailand Digital Arrival Card, the Indonesia e-VOA, the Bali levy and the e-Arrival Card.
• One contact 24/7 for changes before and during the trip.

Where to stay in Thailand and Bali

In Bangkok, a hotel along the Chao Phraya River gives sunset views and boat access to the old city, while Sukhumvit and Silom suit travelers who want shopping, restaurants and the Skytrain. For the Thai beach part, Krabi offers cliffs and quieter beaches, Phuket the widest choice of resorts, and Koh Samui the best weather from January to August.

On Bali, most visitors split their time. Ubud, in the green hills, is the cultural center, with rice terraces, yoga, craft villages and villas with jungle views. For the coast, Seminyak and Canggu are lively, with restaurants and beach clubs; Uluwatu has dramatic cliffs and surf; and Nusa Dua and Sanur have calm water that suits families and first-time visitors.

A Thailand and Bali honeymoon version

This route is a favorite for honeymoons because it gives two very different settings in one trip. Couples usually spend a short stay in Bangkok, four or five nights on a Thai island and six or seven nights in Bali, split between a private pool villa in Ubud and a cliff-top or beachfront room in the south. When you book, we ask about your wedding date, food needs and the moments you care about, then request them in writing with each hotel.

• A private longtail boat to quiet coves near Krabi or Phi Phi before the day-trip crowds arrive.
• A floating breakfast in your Ubud villa pool, and a Balinese couples spa ritual.
• A sunset dinner on Jimbaran Bay or a cliff-top table in Uluwatu for your last night.
• A Balinese blessing ceremony at a temple, arranged with a local guide who explains the customs and dress.
• Proof of marriage: some hotels ask for a marriage certificate dated within the past 6 to 12 months to confirm honeymoon extras.

Families and friends traveling together enjoy the route as well. Children love the elephant sanctuary, the Monkey Forest and snorkeling, and we can book connecting rooms or villas with two or three bedrooms. For active travelers we add sea kayaking around the Krabi islands, a sunrise hike on Mount Batur or a surf lesson in Kuta or Canggu.

Entry rules for US citizens in 2026

Governments change these rules often, so confirm them on official sources before you travel. Recent rules for US passport holders:

• Thailand stay without a visa: in September 2026 Thailand reduced the stay allowed without a visa for US citizens from 60 to 30 days. The Thai part of this trip is well within that limit.
• Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC): every traveler completes it on the official Thai immigration site within 72 hours before arrival.
• Indonesia e-VOA: US citizens need a visa on arrival for Bali, which you can apply for online in advance as an e-VOA on the official Indonesian immigration site. It normally allows a stay of up to 30 days; confirm the current rules before travel.
• Bali tourist levy: international visitors pay the Bali levy once per trip, online through the official provincial site, before or on arrival.
• All Indonesia e-Arrival Card: mandatory for every traveler, completed online shortly before arrival. It combines the customs and health declarations, and a QR code is shown on arrival.
• Passport: valid for at least six months from arrival, with at least two blank pages for Indonesia.

Before booking, read the current US State Department travel advisory for every country on your itinerary and consider enrolling in its STEP alert service. Rules for travelers on non-US passports, including green card holders, differ, so tell us every traveler's nationality when you call.

How to get more from your budget

• Travel in June, July or August when both countries have good weather, and pick Koh Samui for the Thai beach part.
• Use the open-jaw ticket. Flying into Bangkok and out of Bali avoids an extra return flight and a lost day.
• Mix hotel styles. Pair a simple, well-located city hotel with a pool villa where you spend the most time.
• Hire a Bali driver by the day. It is often better value than several separate tours and lets you set your own pace.
• Book 6 to 9 months ahead for July, August, December and January, when the best villas and flights fill first.
