Thailand is one of the world’s best countries for budget backpackers. Whether you want to become a Buddhist, see a ping-pong show in Bangkok, get a massage, or simply relax in a beach side bungalow, you can do it and do it all for cheap. And with a plethora of delicious BBQ’d things on sticks and coconuts in countless forms, you can eat cheap as well.
As a result, Thailand is visited by a massive number of backpackers and holiday makers each year. But despite the tourists, you can sill escape the crowds and experience the real Thailand from any one of it’s secluded beaches and tourist-less towns. For all this, it’s no wonder it was given a perfect score by the top 100 world travel experts.
