        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Busan to Thailand?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Busan to Thailand is generally during the low season from May through October (excluding peak summer holidays), when demand softens and fares drop. Midweek departures, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and early-morning or late-night flights tend to be cheaper than weekend and midday options. Peak summer (July–August) and major holidays like Lunar New Year and Chuseok are usually more expensive, so booking at least a few weeks ahead helps lock in better rates.",
        "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."

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Thailand?",

      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Busan to Thailand?",
        "answer": "As a U.S. citizen, you generally do not need a visa for tourist stays in Thailand of up to 30 days if arriving by air. No electronic travel authorization is required for U.S. passport holders at this time, but entry rules can change, so verify current requirements before traveling."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Thailand are best to fly into from Busan?",
        "answer": "From Busan to Thailand, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi is the primary hub with the most flight options and easy connections to beaches and northern cities. Don Mueang handles many regional and low-cost flights, while Phuket and Chiang Mai are better if you plan to stay in the south or north without transiting Bangkok."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Thailand?",

The hot season from March to May has fewer tourists and lower prices, while the rainy season from June to October offers lush landscapes and bargains."
