Is Thailand Really That Cheap?


“How can you guys afford to travel so much?!”

We get it all the time. And it’s really not a big secret.

We spend a lot of our time in cheap destinations like Thailand.

“But come on, Thailand can’t really be that cheap

Oh, but it is.

Today Heather and I lay it all out. How much we’re paying for accommodation, meals, drinks, transportation, and activities during our time in Thailand. You really can eat for a $1, and you really can stay in a nice place for $20 a night. We share all that and much, much more in today’s episode.

If you’re looking to travel, but it’s just “too expensive” have a listen and see how much a vacation in Thailand will really cost you!

Have you been to Thailand? Let us know how much YOU were spending on things like food & activities to give everyone some social proof that Thailand really is that cheap.

Our Biggest Travel Mishaps

Travel-Mishaps-web

When you follow me on social media you might think that my travel was all delicious food, great beer, and amazing vistas.

You’d be wrong.

Those things do happen (quite a lot actually), but there are moments in between when things go just a touch sideways.

Those are the moments that you’ll remember forever.

Heather joins me today to talk about two of our worst travel mishaps; you’ve heard bits and pieces of the stories these past 73 episodes and it’s finally time to tell the whole story.

You’re sure to have a laugh, as we recount our time stuck in Singapore and getting our “Thailand tattoos”.

Make sure to leave your travel mishaps in the comments below, we shared ours, now it’s your turn!
