The Southeast Asian country is wooing women travelers to its friendly shores with its second annual Women’s Journey Thailand campaign. The campaign brings together more than 800 public and private entities that provide discounts from flights, hotels, car rentals, dining, shopping, entertainment, and more all geared toward women.
There’s even a free app that women travelers can download and get a free SIM card and data plan while in Thailand included in the “Welcome Package,” which includes other goodies specifically for women travelers for those who download the app.
The deals end August 31 leaving nine days to plan that quick getaway where Thailand is rolling out the pink carpet … or pink jet lanes just for us girls.
This certainly makes Girls That Roam want to hop on a plane to paradise. Many of the deals closed August 15, but there are still great deals to grab before the month is out.
Girls That Roam found a roundtrip flight from San Francisco International Airport with one stop in Shanghai on China Eastern Airlines for $595 per person.
