Where to go backpacking in Thailand
Bangkok
This is the hectic heart of the backpacker scene in Southeast Asia. Many travellers,
myself included, hate it when they first arrive but dig a little deeper and you will
come to love it. There are plenty of temples, palaces and markets to explore and the
nightlife is fantastic. My first time in Bangkok, the city ate me alive and emptied my
wallet in under 24 hours.
Having become a regular visitor since, I now love the city and have come to be more
aware of potential scams, such as the long running Bangkok Tuk Tuk scam, which
often aim to target visitors in their first few days of arrival. Keep your wits about you
in this city of saints and sinners!
