Thailand is the travel hub of Southeast Asia. It’s the most visited country in the region — and with good reason!
Most visitors coming into the region fly into Bangkok and make that their base for doing the circuit as they backpack around Southeast Asia.
With its lush jungles, famous beaches, world-class diving, amazing food, and cheap prices, it should come as no surprise that Thailand is my favorite country in the world! I’ve been coming to the country since 2005, lived there for 2 years, and always seem to be pulled back to it. It’s an easy country in which to travel, and because of the backpacker scene, you can meet a lot of other people there.
Thailand has a lot to offer travelers — no matter your budget or interests. You can backpack on a limited budget or you can live a luxurious travel life in fancy resorts on the beach. Or just travel on a modest budget and get a lot of bang for your buck; the country has something for everyone. Since the country is a such well-worn destination on the backpacking trail, everything is convenient and easy. However, there are still many off-the-beaten-path destinations away from the crowds and the higher prices they bring too.
