U.S. dollar equals 32 Thai
Baht. The highest average
price for hotel rates in

$800 for the remainder of
fall.

beautiful beach and mountain scenery, and
busy city life. Visit tourist favorites,

6. SPAIN
In particular areas of Spain, such as
Barcelona, temperatures can reach up to
80 degrees in September, making the fall
a perfect time to travel, stay warm, and
save money. According to Booking.com,
flight prices are considerably reduced
during the final months of the year, with
November being the most affordable
month.

civilizations that have lived within Spain,

architecture can be seen throughout the
entire country. The easily navigated

making it an option for all, including those
with tight budgets.
