How to spend a 10-day holiday in Thailand with your family?
Should I go with my family without travel agencies and why? Will it be cheaper that way? How much would it cost for a family of 4 (two adults and two children).

It makes sense to go to Thailand with travel agents only in one case - if it is a cheap ticket to Pattaya (sometimes to Phuket). There are very good offers for flights from Moscow, for example.
In case of any "deviations" it is better to go by yourself. For all the islands of Thailand, agencies consider domestic flights twice as expensive as they actually cost local airlines. Hotels also sell for more than you can book on www.sawadee.com or agoda or asiarums. If you plan to move around the country, then there is nothing difficult about it - transport is very well developed and even taxis are very cheap. And TO will be considered as an individual tour with an appropriate cost.
The cost of an independent tour depends on your desires and possibilities and consists of:
1. International flight
2. Domestic flights or transfers
3. Hotel prices
4. Medical insurance
Consider. Only you yourself know how many stars you need and where you want.

Actually, yes :) If there is no experience of independent travel, then for the first time I would not go to Asia in this way with children.

Read the Thailand solo travel forum. They start looking for cheap tickets 4-6 months before the trip, sometimes 2 months before they come across good ticket prices. Basically, these are not direct flights, but with a transfer somewhere in the Emirates, with an expectation at the airport from 1.5 to 8 hours. You with 2 children is unlikely to be comfortable. As for housing, it was profitable when a tourist lived in Thailand for at least a month and at the same dollar exchange rate, since it was cheaper to rent on the spot for a long period of time than to go through a tour operator for the same or a shorter period. You did not write when, where exactly and how you would like to relax. If for the near future, for 10 days and for the first time with children, then it is better to look for cheaper tours through an agency. And an independent trip will require time to prepare the route and study the materials on the forum of independent travelers, and there is something to read for those.

I can add only one thing to the above, 7-8 days Pattaya or the islands and 3-2 days Bangkok. Bangkok is better on the way back.

For such a short period of time, it is better to fly with a package tour. Look out for special offers or last minute deals. 10 days is too short to plan an independent trip.

Thailand - departures from Moscow in May
Promotion - Phuket from Moscow (direct non-stop flight) - $ 649
departure on May 10 and 21 for 11 nights!
one of the best coastal hotels - TRI TRANG BEACH RESORT 4 *
The first mailing that comes across is cheaper. You will be more expensive on your own.
.
P.S. Do not throw stones - I flew to Tai both in a package and myself. In this case, a package is more profitable.

I agree with Oleksii64, but I myself would not have flown to Phuket since mid-May - the season is over, storms and waves have begun. Some sea excursions are cancelled.
