PHUKET, THAILAND
We never thought we'd see an $800 summer fare to Bangkok (that's the price from L.A. and San Francisco; rates start at about $900 from N.Y.C.), but it's arrived, and once you've made the $150-or-so hop to Phuket, you'll find many a steal. Go by July 31, 2009, and stay in a private pool villa at the new Anantara Phuket Resort (pictured; view slideshow; also on this year's Hot List) for $529; the rack rate is $881. Or choose the beautiful, villagelike Banyan Tree (view slideshow), where you'll get 20 percent off if you book six weeks in advance.
