      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Seoul to Thailand?",
        "answer": "Flights from Seoul to Bangkok are generally cheapest during the late spring and early autumn shoulder months, especially May, June, and September, when demand dips between peak travel periods. Midweek departures — Tuesday and Wednesday — and flights leaving in the late evening or early morning tend to offer the best value, while peak summer (July–August) and major holidays like Lunar New Year and Chuseok drive fares higher.",
        "methodology": "The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold."

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Thailand are best to fly into from Seoul?",
        "answer": "From Seoul to Thailand, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi is the primary gateway with the most flights and easy connections to domestic destinations. Don Mueang serves budget carriers and regional routes. Phuket is the top choice for beach resorts, while Chiang Mai works well for northern Thailand exploration."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Thailand?",
        "answer": "The best time to visit Thailand is during the cool, dry season from November to early February, when temperatures are comfortable and rainfall is low. Summer, especially July and August, is hot and humid with heavier showers, but prices may be lower outside peak holiday periods."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Incheon Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Incheon International Airport from central Seoul, the Airport Railroad (AREX) express and all-stop trains are the most popular public transport option, offering a fast and reliable ride. Airport limousine buses provide a convenient alternative, especially from areas near express bus terminals, with direct routes and no advance reservation needed for city-to-airport travel. Taxis and ride-share services are available but cost significantly more, with standard fares starting from Seoul and deluxe options for larger groups. Driving and parking is possible, though many travelers prefer rail or bus to avoid traffic and parking fees.",
