When to book for lower prices

Klook booking data shows the lowest typical rate is in May at typically around USD 24, while the priciest month is January at typically around USD 182, so May suits a budget-led trip. Travellers typically lock in a room about 40 days ahead, and some planners book as early as 102 days; therefore most travellers secure rooms well before their stay, and booking earlier is especially useful in the priciest month. All figures are based on Klook booking data.
