When travellers from the United States book

Klook booking data show October as the priciest month (typically around USD 114) and January as the most affordable (typically around USD 22), so a budget-led trip is usually best timed for January. Travelers typically lock in rooms about three weeks ahead (around 22 days), and earlier planners often book roughly 40 days ahead, so booking sooner is more common and especially useful in pricier months, according to Klook booking data.
