If you`re backpacking in Southeast Asia, you have to stop by Thailand.

Let me tell you why!

  • It`s practical

    Bangkok is the gateway to Southeast Asia and is the major backpacker destination. It`s the perfect start point for the journey to the neighbouring countries because of the large selection of transportation options. Most international airlines travel via Bangkok in contrary to, say, Phnom Penh.

  • The accommodation, food and drinks are cheap!

    You will save money if you go backpacking here!

  • Southern Thailand has some of the most beautiful islands with excellent diving and snorkelling spots.

  • In Northern Thailand, you`ll find stunning scenery where you can trek and spend time with the mystical ethnic minorities.

  • If you get to know the Thai culture, it will melt your heart.
