Thailand Destination Guide

Thailand is the travel hub of Southeast Asia and the center of the universe for most
first-time backpackers. With its lush jungles, famed beaches, world class diving,
delicious food and crazy parties, Thailand attracts visitors from all over the world.
Thailand caters for most budgets; you can find dirt cheap guesthouses and hotel
suites costing thousands of dollars a night right next to each other. I myself have
been to Thailand a whole bunch of times, often I am just passing through as some of

the cheapest flights to Asia are in to Bangkok. In general, although I like backpacking
in Thailand, I tend to avoid staying there as it is comparatively expensive to
neighbouring countries in South East Asia. Many backpackers and digital nomads
stay in Thailand for a long time, to get a proper break down of how much it costs to
live in Thailand, ​check out Nina's guide.

Whether booking your trip in advance or winging it with a backpack and travelling
alone (which you likely won't be for long), moving around Thailand is a piece of piss.
The country is well established on the backpacking trail and everything is convenient,
easy and relatively safe.
