How you can cheap travel in Thailand is still possible, if you have time on your side, stay away from the tourist areas, do a little bit of research beforehand and keep a firm track of your daily finances
[Ed Note: My Thailand is an occasional series on Travelhappy where friends of mine who live or have travelled in Thailand give their insight into what Thailand special to them. Here Mark Wiens, who runs Eating Thai Food and Migrationology, explains how it’s still possible to travel Thailand super cheap.]
Over to Mark:
The surge of backpackers and travelers in Thailand has transformed a country that was once assumed to be a dirt cheap world destination to visit, into a country where money has potential to fly out of a bank account at a frightening speed. Entertainment galore and fun sounding activities are set up to entice and lure in the tourists that are willing to drop the cash. Comfy air conditioned accommodation and peaceful international restaurants serving comfort foods to weary travelers are inviting and many can’t resist.
